Lactarius thyinos
Lactarius thyinos is an edible mushroom of the genus Lactarius found in bogs and conifer forests in Canada, the Great Lakes region and the northeastern United States. It is common and easily identifiable, due to its orange flesh and latex that does not turn green when bruised or exposed to air.[1][2]
