bobby b Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Found this growing under an isolated oak tree. Reminds me of L. subsplinthogalus but that has spaced gills. Creamy colored milk, some dried red milk, faint pink flesh in the stem. The stem and cap with some pock marking. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 How does the milk taste? That helps I’m not home right now, or I’d consult Bessette’s book on milk mushrooms. Hoping I can get him and his wife to sign it for me, as they’re coming up to our foray in August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted June 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hi Kevin, I think I remember you getting into milk cap identification. I didn't taste it and went back to the tree several time. It seemed like an easy ID but I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Might be Lactarius psammicola f. psammicola but I’m not positive of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Lactarius psammicola has a darker cap with color scheme that is often concentrically zoned. Looks like the flesh in the stipe is staining light purple/pinkish. That would be a useful piece of info. Yep, time to get out the Bessette book.
