Lactifluus aureifolius is a species of agaric fungus in the family Russulaceae.

It is found in Burundi, which grows in miombo woodland dominated by Brachystegia utilis.

The species was originally described as Lactarius aureifolius by Annameike Verbeken in 1996.

[1] The fruit bodies have convex caps measuring 3–12 cm (1.2–4.7 in); the margins of the cap turn upward in maturity, resulting in a funnel shape.

The distantly spaced gills have an adnate to somewhat decurrent attachment to the stem.
