I have found several different Lactarius, but the only one I can identify myself is L. paradoxus. I have more to post. Another that is almost solid white, too. I will check out subdulcis!

A nice Lactarius sp. I don't know which one is it, but this is a Lactarius because of milky sap on the gills. Also the funnel shape of the cap is a tipical Lactarius shape. It could be Lactarius Subdulcis - the Beech Milkcap. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactarius_subdulcis

Check out Lactarius species - like in this link http://www.mushroomexpert.com/lactari... You might know of this website - mushroomexpert (Michael Kuo) is great for American fungi. Good luck !
