Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A timely review of the "Lactarius" vellereus group in view of their recent separation from the rest of Lactarius in the light of DNA studies.

Includes a key to Lactifluus. This supersedes previous keys which used characters which have turned out to be unreliable.

Errata, Corrigenda & CommentsOn page 40 at the end of the fourth paragraph, left column: the species name *L. bertillonii* should be *L. glaucescens*.
