List of Lactifluus species

Lactifluus is a genus of milk cap fungi in the family Russulaceae.

Its species were formerly classified in Lactarius but have been split off as separate genus based on molecular phylogenetic evidence.

A 2017 revision divided the genus in four subgenera: Lactifluus, Lactariopsis, Gymnocarpi and Pseudogymnocarpi.

Within the subgenera, sections have been recognised, but not all of the roughly 150 species could be assigned to named sections.
