"This is a West Coast mushroom. I'm not that familiar with West Coast mushrooms, but it has a zonate cap. These mostly have close-spaced gills, are relatively infundibuliform, and are hot tasting mushrooms, taste the latex or nibble and spit. Similar mushrooms in the East are Lactarius yazooensis(cap: zoned or not, stipe: scrobiculate or not, hardwoods?), Lactarius zonarius var. riparius (cap: bone-colored, pubescent margin when young, smooth in age, stipe: can be scrobiculate, short, poplar and oak), Lactarius zonarioides/olympianus? (cap: zoned, darker orange, stipe: sometimes pseudo-scrobiculate, montain, coniferous), and Lactarius psammicola f. glaber(cap: smooth, stipe: scrobiculate, oaks). Maybe also Lactarius psammicola (cap: fuzzy, scrobiculate, gills: tight-spaced , mixed woods), Lactarius agglutinatus(cap: zoned when young and glutinous, stipe: scrobiculate), Lactarius maculatipes (cap: zoned but more white, stipe: scrobiculate, oaks) and Lactarius croceus (cap: not or faintly zoned, stipe: smooth, calci-phile, oaks). Let's choose one of them if it matches their description or just leave it at Lactarius. Hesler and Smith have Lactarius alnicola var. pungens as being from Michigan. I'm not that sure what that might be, but odds are not in favor of it being this mushroom. We are trying to put some of these things back to genus level that the AI keeps choosing for our East Coast mushrooms with the hope of the AI populating things that are named here and occur locally.
