Montoya, Leticia, Victor M. Bandala & Roy Halling. Lactarius furcatus in Mexico and Costa Rica. Mycotaxon 87: 311 - 316. 2003.

ABSTRACT: Fresh collections of Lactarius furcatus were gathered in Mexico and Costa Rica. The type specimen from United States (North Carolina) apparently is lost. A specimen from Tennessee, U.S.A., determined as Lactarius furcatus by A. H. Smith and kept at MICH was also studied. A description and discussion, based on recent collections, including illustrations of macro and microscopic features, are presented.
