Lactarius Indigo?

[Jenn86]

Hi all!

 

I was wondering if someone could look at these pictures and tell my if I found Lactarius indigo? This specimen didn't have as much latex as I have seen on some YouTube videos about the species, but the gills, where they were cut, turned a deep indigo after a few seconds. I suspect that my specimen might just be a little old, but I wanted to verify my identification,  especially since it seems a little late in the year for these based on what I am reading. I am in east Tennesse, USA, if that helps.

 

Thanks for your help!

I think you have either L. chelidonium or L. paradoxus; similar in appearance to L. indigo but with scant latex that is not distinctly blue.
