FIGURE 8. Lactaria subpurpurea Peck. No, 51, 1907, Burlingham. 
Bresadola’s figure of Lactaria sanguifiua Fr. in Fungi Triden- 
tini 2: pl. 126. 1892, closely resembles Lactaria subpurpurea Peck, 
but his description of the color and the taste of the milk as well as of 
the color of the pileus would not indicate that he had that species 
in hand. The figure, however, seems to accord with L. subpur- 
purea much more than with Lactaria sanguiffua Pr.
