Encyclopedic overview
Lactifluus piperatus (synonym Lactarius piperatus), commonly known as the blancaccio, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus Lactifluus. It was the original type species of the genus Lactarius, before being moved to Lactifluus.
The fruiting body is a creamy-white mushroom which is funnel-shaped when mature, with exceptionally crowded gills. It bleeds a whitish peppery-tasting milk when cut. Widely distributed across Europe and eastern North America, L. piperatus has been accidentally introduced to Australia. Mycorrhizal, it forms a symbiotic relationship with various species of deciduous tree, including beech, and hazel, and fruiting bodies are found on the forest floor in deciduous woodland.
