Lactarius indigo
Indigo mushroom
Native to Florida
Yes, we know the indigo mushroom is
not a plant. But we came across it growing in pine and oak woods of northern Alachua
County, Florida, and it's just such an interesting specimen... Indigo mushrooms are uncommon
but relatively widespread, found in eastern North America, eastern Central America, to southern
Colombia and oddly, also in two places in China and Japan. They are said to be deliciously
edible, and as one of the only blue foods, fun to eat.
