Description
Lactifluus is known for producing a latex-like substance when its gills are damaged. This liquid can vary in color, including white, yellow, or even red. These organisms are found in a variety of habitats around the world, often forming symbiotic relationships with trees, which help them exchange nutrients. Their robust and sometimes brightly colored caps make them distinct in the fungi world.
