Species of fungus
Lactifluus khasianus is a species of mushroom in the family Russulaceae, it was recently rediscovered in India.[1] Originally described by C. H. Kauffman in 1932, it was later considered rare, with a lack of confirmed sightings for decades. The species can be found mainly in the subtropical and tropical forests of India, where it creates a distinct white milky latex when damaged.
Lactifluus khasianus plays a significant role in forest ecosystems and its rediscovery has brought attention to its ecological importance. The mushroom is still being studied by mycologists.[2]
