Hymenophore continuous with the stem. Gills unequal, mem- branaceous-waxy, slightly rigid, milky, acute at the edge. Spores globose, white, rarely yellowish. Fleshy fungi, growing on the ground (with two exceptions}, putres- cent, pileus depressed, gills adnato- decurrent and often branched. A very distinct genus and easily recognised. Pileus in some species zoned which is peculiar to this genus. Watery milk is never a normal fea- ture of the genus, but where it does occur it is owing to the dampness of the station where the specimens have grown. Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 421. The nearest allies to the Lactarii are the Russules, which are at once distinguished by their want of milk. The genus includes some species which are edible and delicious, while others are exceedingly poisonous. The best mark of distinction of species is the nature of the milk. Tribe I. PIPERITES (piperitis, pepper-wort). Stem central. Gills un- changeable, naked, not changing colour and not pruinose. Milk at the first white, (commonly) acrid. * TRICHOLOMOIDEI. Pileus -viscid-when moist, margin at first in-volute, tomentose. ** LIMACINI. Pileus-viscid when moist, pelliculose, margin naked. *** PIPERATI. Pileus -without a pellicle, hence absolutely dry, most fre- quently unpolished. Tribe II. DAPETES (daps, food). Stem central. Gills naked ; milk at the first deeply XLIX. Lactarius subdulcis.
