Lactarius ochrogalactus, a new species of the genus Lactarius (Russulaceae, Russulales) with yellowish-brown latex

摘要

Lactarius ochrogalactus Hashiya, invalidly published in 1994, is validated and described in detail here. It is characterized by having yellowish-brown basidiocarps, yellowish-brown latex that stains reddish-brown, lampropalisade pileipellis, lamprotrichoderm stipitipellis, pleuromacrocystidia, and basidiospores that are ornamented with warts connected by fine lines. Because this species shares some characters with Lactarius subgen. Plinthogali as well as with Lactarius subgen. Lactiflui, we prefer to wait for molecular data before defining this species to a subgenus or section.
