Id practice

Hey everyone, new here and I want to get some practice identifying different shrooms.  This is from northern California, Sonoma County.  Growing in the dirt.  I tried to id them and I think they are Lactarius torminosus or wooly milkcap.  Maybe unremarkable, but its just for practice.  Found them close to home :smile:  The spore print is hard to see, but its white.  If I was trying to id something to eat I would get a better print on black paper but this is just for practice.  Thanks if anyone can help :smile:

What do you think of Lactarius alnicola? What trees where nearby? Do they taste acrid? What color is the latex? Does it change any colors?

A real important and good test for Lactarius is the latex that they are named for! Knowing the color and property of the latex is important in specifying which species. Make a shallow cut along the gills and describe it, a photo would be great too. To my (somewhat inexperienced) eye, this could be L. deliciosus. But we need more info to really know!

The latex can be tricky, changing tones after time - so be sure to observe the color over a period of time and record (quickly or slowly).
