Mild Milkcap

Lactarius subdulcis?

Description:

milk plentiful when broke stem off, whitish milk, taste like soap, a little spicy sensation, bitter. To have a more certain ID I should have taken note of the colour change in the milk when rubbed on a white piece of cloth and I should also have taken note of the tree it was growing under. It's a shame I can't access my original photos at the moment to check whether this is truly an almost conical cap or just a trick of the light! Could be Lactarius subdulcis that is said to taste sweet and bitter, one foreign link mentions it as soapy milkcap but might be a mis-translation?

Notes:

ba15? - location somewhere in this section of plantation
