      Hm, I really don't know. I am not familiar with the mushrooms species, so I always discuss each find with my FB group of mycologists.

      Although this site is in Bulgrian, it shows that in Bulgaria Lactarius deterrimus is accepted name for species distributed here.       Posted 4 years ago

        Lactarius deliciosus is treated as a separate species

        Obviously both species are distributed in Europe.         Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
