| | | Lactarius but which ?
Hi all,
can you clear this up for me ? I now it is a Lactarius due to the milk, however which one ?  
I think it is Lactarius hepaticus. If not, why not ? It was among mix of pine, fur, and beech tree's. I think it had a strong smell but I am a little unsure as my hands had insect repellent on them which also has a strong smell 
Thanks for the help

If you can tell us that the milk turned a chrome colour after a while we will agree it is L hepaticus if it turned pale yellow then maybe L tabidus. The milk actually looks watery so that should make identification slightly easier for some

Was it growing closest to the Pine, the Mink (fur) or the Beech, and was the milk very hot, mild, or no taste ?

Mal | Thanks for the reply, thinking about it now i would say that it didn't turn yellow. As for chrome... may be. It did change a little but not sure about the colour.
