Lactifluus allardii

Peachy-cream colored fungi growing under hardwoods (oaks, hickories, ashes) in a dense mixed hardwood/coniferous forest in NW Georgia (Gordon County), US.

Very slow exudation of white latex from gills upon cutting. Gills change to a turquoise/green after 30 minutes. Latex itself (on paper) resolves to dirty cream color.

KOH on pileus: no initial reaction. resolves to a pale yellow shade.

Flavor/odor: very pleasant, but slowly begins to burn on tongue and lip after sitting for some time!
