Anyone know what this is?
Found under birch, no milk secreted from gills - no specific smell.  |

I think it's a Lactarius. The thick fleshed but hollow stem is a key feature that separates this from the other possible main contender, Tricholoma fulvum. |

an old (and milk-less) Lactarius; definitely not T. fulvum
toadstools are going to get weirder and weirder as these weather conditions assail us I'm afraid

Hallo,
as you said, a Lactarius for sure. I would opt for Lactarius vietus.
best,
Andreas |

I think thats a good call andreas.
BMC says
Lactarius vietus (Fr.) Fr., Epicr. syst. mycol. (Uppsala): 344 (1838)
Agaricus vietus Fr., Syst. mycol. (Lundae) 1: 66 (1821)
Habitat: On soil or amongst amongst Sphagnum spp. in woodland, often in wet areas under Betula spp.
Notes: Common and widespread. |

Hallo KT,
if you happen to see this again next season, first notice if it smells (it should not, at least not like cocos as L. glyciosmus) and secondly watch the milk drops on wounded gills after one hour or so (they should become greyish-green).
best regards,
Andreas
