Lactarius furcatus in Mexico and Costa Rica

Abstract

Fresh collections of Lactarius furcatus were gathered in Mexico and Costa Rica. The type specimen from United States (North Carolina) apparently is lost. A specimen from Tennessee, U.S.A., determined as Lactarius furcatus by A. H. Smith and kept at MICH was also studied. A description and discussion, based on recent collections, including illustrations of macro and microscopic features, are presented.
