Lactarius hysginus (Fr.) Fr. Kuhbrauner Milchling, Húsvörös tejelõgomba. Cap 4–10cm across, at first flattened convex, then with a shallow depression or broadly funnel-shaped, reddish bay at first then becoming paler, especially towards the margin and here as pale as rosy buff, sometimes with purplish or flesh tinges, occasionally with indistinct, darker, concentric bands, surface sticky when moist, radially wrinkled; margin inrolled at first, regular to somewhat irregular.

Gills slightly to moderately decurrent, at first pale dull golden yellow, later saffron, closely spaced, rather narrow. Milk abundant, white; taste acrid and very hot. Spore print deep cream (E) with a slight salmon tinge. Spores broadly elliptic, warts low but sometimes wide, joined by ridges, at times thick and tending to run across the spore, 6.5–7.5 x 5.5–6.5μ.
