   Hi Irene,   
      
   the laydown of of these Lactarius sp. David Arora clarified that in his   
   class   
   over the weekend. .   
      
   Lactarius rubidus       -- the small fragrant "clasic" Candy Cap.   
   Lactarius rufulus        -- a larger variation, under Oak, fragrant, but   
   less so.   
   Lactarius rufus           -- similarly looking, shiny cap, peppery, not   
   fragrant.   
      
   I have pictures of all three variations, common to No. California, but have   
   to   
   crop them first.   
      
   I can't believe that they ask $90/lbs. for the Candy Caps. They are very   
   adundant.

   P.S. Most of the Lactarius sp. here have a different DNA than the European   
   species and should have a different name. The L. deliciosus in all of its   
   variations is different and of lesser quality than the European species.   
   They   
   have bunched several species into the name L. deliciosus. They differ in   
   having   
   different oxidation reactions when cut -- orange, red, etc. But all bruise   
   green.   
   The same applies to the Boletes even more. They have copied the European   
   names, but they are quite different and are getting new names these days.
