       SYNONYM: Lactifluus chrysorrheus (Fr.) Kuntze

       COMMON NAME: Yellow Drop Milk Cap

       FAMILY: Russulaceae

      CAP: Up to 3-1/2 in. wide; whitish with brownish spots, pinkish buff; yellowish buff, convex to nearly flat, developing a depressed center; surface faintly zonate at times, moist, sub viscid in wet weather

      FLESH: Whitish becoming yellow rather quickly when exposed; thin; odor not distinctive; taste acrid

      GILLS: Whitish or very pale yellowish; attached or subdecurrent; close; edges even; no partial veil

      LATEX: White, quickly changing to yellow on exposure; not staining the tissues; acrid, often starting mildly acrid and then increasing in intensity; rather copious

      STEM: Up to 3 in. long; whitish; generally equal; hollow in age; base hairy at times; surface bald, apex moist to tacky

      SPORE PRINT: Buff to yellowish

      ECOLOGY: Mycorrhizal with oaks; scattered to gregarious in humus in broadleaf woods; summer and early fall; common

      EDIBILITY: Not edible; acrid; gastrointestinal poisonings have occurred with this mushroom

      COMMENTS: This mushroom will likely be transferred to the genus Lactifluus in the near future. It is a common component of the summer, oak woods mushroom flora. Compare with Lactarius vinaceorufescens (p. 39), a common species associated with conifers. It has white latex, quickly changing to yellow on exposure, and it develops sordid reddish-brown stains on the cap, gills, and stem.

       Lactarius chrysorrheus

       SYNONYM: None

       COMMON NAME: Yellow-Staining Milk Cap

       FAMILY: Russulaceae

      CAP: Up to 4 in. wide; convex to broadly convex, becoming nearly flat; margin incurved at first; buff, cinnamon pink, cinnamon, vinaceous brown in age; surface viscid, bald, faintly zoned, or with water spots

      FLESH: White to pinkish, staining yellow when exposed; fairly thick; odor not distinctive; taste acrid

      GILLS: Whitish to pinkish buff, with pinkish to brownish stains, becoming reddish to reddish brown in age; attached to the stem or subdecurrent; close; edges even; no partial veil

      LATEX: White on exposure, quickly becoming bright yellow; taste very acrid

      STEM: Up to 3 in. long; whitish to pinkish buff with reddish-brown stains; generally equal or slightly enlarged downward; becoming hollow; base with whitish to brown hairs; surface dry, rather smooth, bald

      SPORE PRINT: White to pale yellow

      ECOLOGY: Mycorrhizal with pines; scattered to gregarious in humus and moss in conifer or mixed woods, often under white pine; summer and fall; common

      EDIBILITY: Not edible; acrid

      COMMENTS: This species can often be found in large numbers in pine plantations. It often fruits late in the season. Compare with Lactarius chrysorrheus (p. 38), which also has latex that quickly turns yellow. It lacks the overall reddish-brown staining and is usually associated with oaks.

       Lactarius vinaceorufescens

       SYNONYM: Lactarius piperatus (L.) Pers.

       COMMON NAME: Peppery
