Ugly Milkcap

Lactarius turpis

8th November 2013, Andrew’s Wood near Shoreham
Growing on or through leaf litter around beech trees. Cap 7-10cm. No smell. ID is very likely.

18th October 2013, Broke Hill Golf Course
Growing under birch. Cap 8cm. Milk taste very hot and acrid. Spore sizes don't quite match book values, but not far off. ID is very likely. Sporeprint looked white to me but the book says very, very pale cream. Spores 6-7.5µ x 5-6µ. Spore sizes don't quite match book values, but not far off.
