Multifurca
''Multifurca'' is a rare genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the family Russulaceae. It was described in 2008, after molecular phylogenetic study had shown that it forms a monophyletic lineage within the family, sister to ''Lactarius''. The genus contains six species known from the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, India, China, Thailand, Australia, and New Caledonia, but so far has not been reported from Europe, Africa, or South America. Four of those species were formerly classified as ''Russula'' section ''Ochricompactae'', and ''Multifurca furcata'' was originally described as a ''Lactarius'' species. ''Multifurca'' is morphologically intermediate between ''Lactarius'' and ''Russula'': Fruitbodies have adnate to subdecurrent gills and are zonate; latex (as in ''Lactarius'' and ''Lactifluus'') is present only in ''M. furcata''; spore print 300px, Making a spore print of the mushroom ''Volvariella volvacea'' shown in composite: (photo lower half) mushroom cap laid on white a ...

Russulaceae
The Russulaceae are a diverse family of fungi in the order Russulales, with roughly 1,900 known species and a worldwide distribution. They comprise the brittlegills and the milk-caps, well-known mushroom-forming fungi that include some edible species. These gilled mushrooms are characterised by the brittle flesh of their fruitbodies. In addition to these typical agaricoid forms, the family contains species with fruitbodies that are laterally striped (pleurotoid), closed ( secotioid or gasteroid), or crust-like (corticioid). Molecular phylogenetics has demonstrated close affinities between species with very different fruitbody types and has discovered new, distinct lineages. An important group of root- symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi in forests and shrublands around the world includes ''Lactifluus'', '' Multifurca'', ''Russula'', and ''Lactarius''. The crust-forming genera '' Boidinia'', '' Gloeopeniophorella'', and '' Pseudoxenasma'', all wood-decay fungi, have basal posi ...

It was originally described as a ''Lactarius ''Lactarius'' is a genus of mushroom-producing, ectomycorrhizal fungi, containing several edible species.

With the genus ''Lactarius'' it shares the exudation of milk-like latex; however, it is microscopically and molecularly distinct. It has been found very infrequently, with currently known localities in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, and China.

Lactarius (fungus)
''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
''Lactifluus'' is one of three genera of mushroom-forming fungi containing species Common name, commonly named "milk-caps", the others being ''Lactarius (fungus), Lactarius'' and ''Multifurca''. It has been separated from ''Lactarius (fungus), Lactarius'' based on Molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogenetic evidence but is very similar to that genus. There are roughly 150 known ''Lactifluus'' species, which have a mainly Tropics, tropical distribution but are also found in the Temperate climate, north temperate zone and Australasia. Some of them are edible mushrooms. Systematics and 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 (taxonomy), synonym of ''Lactarius'', until Molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogenetic work showed in 2008 that ''Lactarius (fungus), Lactarius'' was not a monophyletic group.

Europe
Europe is a large peninsula conventionally considered a continent in its own right because of its great physical size and the weight of its history and traditions. Europe is also considered a subcontinent of Eurasia and it is located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. Comprising the westernmost peninsulas of Eurasia, it shares the continental landmass of Afro-Eurasia with both Africa and Asia. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and Asia to the east. Europe is commonly considered to be separated from Asia by the watershed of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus, the Black Sea and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. "Europe" (pp. 68–69); "Asia" (pp. 90–91): "A commonly accepted division between Asia and Europe ... is formed by the Ural Mountains, Ural River, Caspian Sea, Caucasus Mountains, and the Blac ...

A 3.5-centimeter glass slide placed in middle allows for examination of spore characteristics under a microscope. image:spore Print ID.gif, 300px, A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal sporocarp (fungi), fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. Method A spore print is made by placing the spore-producing surface flat on a sheet of dark and white paper or on a sheet of clear, stiff plastic, which facilitates moving the spore print to a darker or lighter surface for improved contrast; for example, i ...
