Lactifluus
''Lactifluus'' is one of three genera of mushroom-forming fungi containing species commonly named " milk-caps", the others being ''Lactarius'' and '' Multifurca''. It has been separated from ''Lactarius'' based on molecular phylogenetic evidence but is very similar to that genus. There are roughly 150 known ''Lactifluus'' species, which have a mainly tropical distribution but are also found in the north temperate zone and Australasia. Some of them are edible mushrooms. Taxonomy The genus ''Lactifluus'' was described in 1806 by French naturalist Henri François Anne de Roussel, with the type species ''Lactifluus piperatus''. Later, ''Lactifluus'' was largely considered a synonym of ''Lactarius'', until molecular phylogenetic work showed in 2008 that ''Lactarius'' was not a monophyletic group. In the following, the name ''Lactarius'' was conserved for the biggest of the subclades revealed, containing most well-known north temperate species. Thus, the name ''Lactifluus'' could b ...

List Of Lactifluus Species
''Lactifluus'' is a genus of milk cap fungi in the family Russulaceae. Its species were formerly classified in ''Lactarius (fungus), Lactarius'' but have been split off as separate genus based on molecular phylogenetic evidence. A 2017 revision divided the genus in four subgenera: ''Lactifluus'', ''Lactariopsis'', ''Gymnocarpi'' and ''Pseudogymnocarpi''. Within the subgenera, section (botany), sections have been recognised, but not all of the roughly 150 species could be assigned to named sections. Subgenus ''Lactifluus'' ''Lactifluus'' subg.

Lactifluus Clarkeae
''Lactifluus clarkeae'', formerly known as ''Lactarius clarkeae'', is a species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Russulaceae. It is found in Australia and New Zealand in mycorrhizal association with species of ''Nothofagus'' and the family Myrtaceae. Taxonomy and naming ''Lactifluus clarkeae'' was first described as a species of ''Lactarius'' in 1927 by Australian naturalist John Burton Cleland from a specimen found at Mount Lofty, South Australia. Cleland noted the mushroom was similar in general appearance to ''Russula flocktoniae'', now '' Lactifluus flocktoniae''. It was named in honour of botanical artist Phyllis Flockton Clarke, notable for her watercolour paintings of the fungi of New South Wales and niece of fellow botanical artist, Margaret Flockton. ''Lactifluus flocktoniae'' is generally understood to have a brighter orange to red cap and paler gills compared to ''Lactifluus clarkeae'', which has variable morphology. Both species were transferred to the g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lactifluus Volemus
''Lactifluus volemus'', formerly known as ''Lactarius volemus'', and commonly known as the weeping milk cap or bradley, is a species of fungus in the family Russulaceae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that ''L. volemus'' represents several species or subspecies, rather than a single taxon. The colour of the mushroom varies from apricot to tawny, and the cap may be up to 11 cm ( in) wide. The pale golden yellow gills on the underside of the cap are closely spaced and sometimes forked. One of the mushroom's most distinctive features is the large amount of latex ("milk") that it exudes when the gills are damaged, leading to some of its common names, e.g. voluminous-latex milky. It also has a distinctive fishy smell, which does not affect the taste. The fruit bodies have been chemically analysed and found to contain several sterols related to ergosterol, some of which are unique to this species. The mushroom also contains a natural rubber that has been chemically ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lactifluus Deceptivus
''Lactifluus deceptivus'' (synonym ''Lactarius deceptivus''), commonly known as the deceiving milkcap, is a common species of fungus in the family Russulaceae. It produces large mushrooms with funnel-shaped caps reaching up to in diameter, on top of hard white stems that may reach long and up to thick. The gills are closely spaced together and yellowish-cream in color. When young, the cap is white in all parts, but the depressed center becomes dull brownish in age and breaks up into scales. The edge of the cap has a roll of cottony tissue that collapses as the cap expands. The surface of the stem has a velvety texture, especially near the base. The mushroom exudes a milky white acrid latex when it is cut or injured. Similar milk-cap species include ''Lactifluus piperatus'', ''L. pseudodeceptivus'', ''L. caeruleitinctus'', ''L. subvellereus'', ''Lactarius arcuatus'' and ''Lactarius parvulus''. ''Lactifluus deceptivus'' is found throughout eastern North Ameri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lactifluus Piperatus
''Lactifluus piperatus'' (synonym ''Lactarius piperatus''), commonly known as the blancaccio, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus '' Lactifluus''. It was the original type species of the genus ''Lactarius'', before being moved to ''Lactifluus''. The fruiting body is a creamy-white mushroom which is funnel-shaped when mature, with exceptionally crowded gills. It bleeds a whitish peppery-tasting milk when cut. Widely distributed across Europe and eastern North America, ''L. piperatus'' has been accidentally introduced to Australia. Mycorrhizal, it forms a symbiotic relationship with various species of deciduous tree, including beech, and hazel, and fruiting bodies are found on the forest floor in deciduous woodland. Despite often being considered edible, it reportedly contains toxins and has a poor flavor, but can be used as a seasoning when dried. Taxonomy The species was one of many named by Carl Linnaeus, who officially described it in Volume Two of his ''Species Plan ...

Lactarius Volemus 90024 Cropped
''Lactarius'' is a genus of mushroom-producing, ectomycorrhizal fungi, containing several edible species. The species of the genus, commonly known as milk-caps, are characterized by the milky fluid ("latex") they exude when cut or damaged. Like the closely related genus ''Russula'', their flesh has a distinctive brittle consistency. It is a large genus with over 500 known species, mainly distributed in the Northern hemisphere. Recently, the genus ''Lactifluus'' has been separated from ''Lactarius'' based on molecular phylogenetic evidence. Systematics and taxonomy The genus ''Lactarius'' was described by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1797 with '' L. piperatus'' as the original type species. In 2011, '' L. torminosus'' was accepted as the new type of the genus after the splitting-off of ''Lactifluus'' as separate genus. The name "''Lactarius''" is derived from the Latin ''lac'', "milk".

Lactifluus Aureifolius
''Lactifluus aureifolius'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Russulaceae. It is found in Burundi, which grows in miombo woodland dominated by '' Brachystegia utilis''. The fungus was described in 1996 as a species of ''Lactarius''. Taxonomy The species was originally described as ''Lactarius aureifolius'' by Annameike Verbeken in 1996. She transferred the species to ''Lactifluus'' in 2011. It is classified in the subgenus ''Edules''.

Milk-caps
Milk-cap (also milk cap, milkcap, or milky) is a common name that refers to mushroom-forming fungi of the genera ''Lactarius'', ''Lactifluus'', and ''Multifurca'', all in the family Russulaceae. The common and eponymous feature of their fruitbodies is the latex ("milk") they exude when cut or bruised. Mushrooms with typical milk-cap characteristics are said to have a lactarioid habit. Some of them are edible. Historically, these species were all united in the genus ''Lactarius'', but molecular phylogenetic analysis has shown that they belong in fact to three distinct clades: * ''Lactarius'' holds most of the milk-caps known from the Northern hemisphere. * ''Lactifluus'' contains mainly tropical species, but also some well known northern milk-caps. * ''Multifurca'' contains only one species exuding milk, '' M. furcata'' from North and Central America. Some prominent species *''Lactarius deliciosus'' - "saffron milk-cap" or "red pine mushroom" *''Lactarius deterrimus'' - "false ...
