Lactifluus volemus
he first mention of "Lactifluus volemus" in the scientific literature was in Carl Linnaeus's 1753 "Species Plantarum", under the name "Agaricus lactifluus". In 1821, Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries called it "Agaricus volemus" in his "Systema Mycologicum". In this work he proposed a grouping of related species (called a "tribus", or tribe) within the genus "Agaricus", which he named "Galorrheus". Fries later recognised "Lactarius" as a distinct genus in his 1838 "Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici", citing "Galorrheus" as a synonym. Although Linnaeus had published the species before Fries, Fries's name is sanctioned and thus has nomenclatural priority. In 1871 Paul Kummer raised most of Fries's tribes to generic rank, and so renamed the species "Galorrheus volemus". The variety "L. volemus" var. "subrugosus" was identified by Charles Horton Peck in 1879, but is now classified as a separate species, "L. corrugis". In 1891, Otto Kuntze moved the species into "Lactifluus", which was af
