Lactarius camphoratus, Fries, Epicr., p. 34G; Cke., Hdbk., 

 p. 317 ; Cke., Illustr., pi. 1013A. 



In woods. 



Clearly distinguished from allied species by the strong 

 fragrant smell resembling melilot, which develops during 

 drying, and persists for a long time in the dried specimen. 



Far. terrei, B. & Br., Ann. Nat. Hist., no. 1673; Cke., 

 Hdbk., p. 317.

Caespitose, smell sweet.

Pileus 1-2 in. across, flesh rather thick, tinged with 

 brown, as is also that of the stem ; plane then depressed or 

 infundibuliform, margin usually waved and lobed, smooth, 

 even, dark bay-brown ; gills slightly decurrent, 1| line 

 broad, dingy ochraceous with a red tinge ; stem about 1 in. 

 long, 2 lines thick, smooth, paler than the pileus, more or 

 less hollow ; milk persistently white, acrid ; spores 7-8 p. ; 

 smell strong and unpleasant.

In woods. 



The smell is strong, heavy, and oily, and is said to re- 

 semble bugs. When dried the smell soon disappears. Dis- 

 tinguished from L. camphoratus by the acrid milk and the 

 strong unpleasant smell when fresh. The last character 

 also separates the present species from L. subdulcis. 



Lactarius (Russ.) subumbonatus. Lindgr. 

 Pileus about 1 in. across, flesh rather thick at the disc, 

 very thin elsewhere, grey then yellowish ; convex, with a 

 small umbo, becoming depressed, often undulate and wavy, 

 rugose, pitted, dark cinnamon-colour ; gills adnate, not 1 line 

 broad, rufous flesh-colour ; stem up to 1 in. long, 1 line 

 thick, base thinner, smooth, even, coloured like the pileus, 

 stuffed; spore subglobose, 5-6 //,; milk persistently white, 

 mild.
