ronono mipetaka (Ny t. Lactarius blennius) is a mushroom of the genus Milky (lat. Lactarius) of the Russula family (lat. Russulaceae). It is sometimes considered conditionally edible and suitable for salting, but its possible toxic properties have not been studied, therefore it is not recommended to collect it.
