Dirty Milky - Lactarius sordidus

I almost skipped over this mushroom because I thought it was just an old, dirty lactarius.

The cap was about 10 cm wide, and slightly sunken. It was brown with greenish black and mostly smooth. The gills were tannish white, attached, and close. Latex was scant and white. The stem was thick, brownish green, and somewhat pitted.

Habitat: Growing on the ground under eastern hemlock, but with oak, ash, beech, and birch in the same area.
