Lactarius quietus
(Fr.) Fr.
Study description
General: Associated with Quercus, with white latex turning greenish-yellow upon drying, an acrid taste, and an oily, bug-like odor.
Pileipellis: Filamentous cutis formed by irregularly interwoven hyphae 4-10 µm wide, containing pale ochraceous-brown intracellular pigment, septate with simple septa.
Cheilocystidia: Numerous, fusiform with mucronate apices, 30-55 x 5-7 µm.
Pleurocystidia: Similar in morphology but larger, 40-75 x 5-9 µm.
Basidia: Clavate, slightly ventricose, 30-40 x 10-12 µm, base simple, 4-spored.
