We've got here, again, various species of brittlegills; judging by the colours, they may be the '''milk-white brittlegill''' (''Russula delica''), '''yellow swamp brittlegill''' (''Russula claroflava'') and '''purple brittlegill''' (''Russula atropurpurea''). The '''foxy bolete''' (''Leccinum scabrum''), which the poet likened to the ''kulawka'', an Old Polish round-bottomed party glass whose contents you have to quaff in a single gulp before you lay it back on the table, is known in Polish as ''"koźlarz sosnowy"'', or "pine billy goat". The '''horn of plenty''' (''Craterellus cornucopioides''), also known as "black trumpet" or "trumpet of death" (despite being edible), has a relatively unassuming Polish name: ''"lejkowiec"'', which means "funnel mushroom". The '''peppery milk cap''' (''Lactarius piperatus'') gets its appellation from its acrid taste and milk-white colour.
