Dave MN Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Found these near a batch of bright, golden chanterelles. Not sure if they or older chanterelles or a different type, just uncertain with ID. Any help? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutddicted Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Looks like lactarius, a milky. If you cut the gills does a liquid ooze out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave MN Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Thanks much for reply, don't recall any liquid. Will look specifically for that on a fresh one... The pictures I found from your possible ID sure seem to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I agree with the Lactarious proposal. This looks like it's a little older/dryer specimen so you may not get much latex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave MN Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 👍 thanks, I found some younger ones with the latex... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74quinn74 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I found one similar to this today! I’ve found mine to be a Russula Brevipes (in my opinion), perhaps this is yours? Also gives no milky substance when cut. Otherwise perhaps it is some form of lactarius deceptivus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Quinn, If no latex in your white mushroom, then Russula brevipes is a reasonable proposal. Some Lactarius mushrooms have very little latex. If you gently press a cut portion of flesh/gills against your finger you may see some slight wetness. R. brevipes grows in coniferous areas, sometimes partially buried in needle litter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
