Genus 8. Lactaeius.* 

 Hymenophore confluent with the stem and vesiculose ; gills milky, 

 edge acute. Many of the species of this genus contain an acrid 

 principle which is productive of great pain and sickness, although, 

 according to M. Boudier, not terminating fatally to man ; others 

 are eatable. Dr. Badham says of L. Deliciosus, Fr., " This is 

 one of the best Agarics with which I am acquainted, fuUy de- 

 serving both its name and the estimation in w^hich it is held 

 abroad." The milk of this species is red, and subsequently 

 turns green, thus enabling persons to distinguish it with ease 

 from dangerous kinds. 



* Lactarius, from lac, milk.
