Extract from Wikipedia article: Lactifluus corrugis (formerly Lactarius corrugis), commonly known as the corrugated-cap milky, is a species of fungus in the family Russulaceae. It was first described by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1880.
Lactarius corrugis is a species of mushroom characterized by its medium to large size, brown to tan cap with wrinkles or corrugations, and white to pale yellow gills. It is found in East and Central Texas, typically growing in association with oak trees, particularly in deciduous forests and woodlands. The fungus produces a white to pale yellow latex that may turn pinkish or brownish upon exposure to air. Fruitings often occur from summer to fall, with a peak in late summer.
