vitog Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 No, it looks like a Lactarius, but it needs to be cut to check for the presence and color of any milk and staining reactions. Also, a better picture of the bottom, showing how the gills are attached to the stem would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Looks like one of the "hot" (tiny taste of the latex burns your mouth) milk caps that are basically inedible. Although, like Vito said, more info would be needed to make a positive identification, or even put it in the milk cap camp. That said, if it does "bleed" latex, you might want to start with Lactarius psammicola and move out from there in your identification.

KY-FUNGI Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 That sure looks like a milkycap to me in your photo above. I *think* took a photo of a ratty one almost alike here in KY this past weekend (well, in my uniformed opinion): http://mushroomobserver.org/288333?q=8weO I did not test for latex on the specimen above. He was on his way out and I felt bad for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
