   Lactarius hygrophoroides This is one of the prettiest and easy to tell species due to its distant gills when young. Later they become rather subdistant. |

   Lactarius volemus Looks somewhat like the European material, but not quite. Can't put my finger on it... NSIW |
  Lactarius piperatus Looks very much like the European material. The densely crowded gills make it stand out against other acrid white Lactarii This is the type species for the Genus, but unfortunately is not known to occur in Western NA. |

| These white Lactarii are somewhat different than Lactarius piperatus, but all are napalm hot -- the acridity sticks to the tongue and can't easily be chased off. There are several species in there that need work to be separated, at least for me -- I see deceptivus, subvellereus, etc. | ||
