L F P Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Some white latex coming out when cut. No real staining from the latex at least not yet. Thanks for any clues Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Maybe l. vellereus? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactifluus_vellereus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svs Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 There are several white milkies mushrooms which are not easy to distinguish from each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 What type of habitat, to include the area trees? Did you nibble the cap to see if it is peppery/acrid? You can nibble a tiny piece between your front teeth, while tasting with your tongue. Some mushrooms take 20-30 seconds to display their pepperiness. Spit the piece out, and rinse after several seconds. Let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L F P Posted October 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 This mushroom growing in mixed woods mostly oak on the edge in a small clearing. I did taste it it did have a hot after bite or taste. I am including a spore print. Thanks for all of your inputs. Looks white to cream color.

Dave W Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I think that Lactarius vellereus may be a European species that does not occur in NA. Possibly L. subvellereus. Another species to consider is L. deceptivus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L F P Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Maybe it is a Lactifluus piperatus species. What do you Think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Gills are usually more tighly spaced on piperatus, and the brownish disc (cap center) would be a bit unusual for piperatus. But, pipertaus is an idea worth considering. My best guess is subvellereus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
