Abstract

The morphological features of the mycelial cultures of 8 Lactarius strains belonging
to the section Deliciosi from Guatemala (2 Lactarius deliciosus s.l, 1 L. aff. salmonicolor, 3 L.
indigo y 2 L. aff. rubrilacteus) and 2 L. deliciosus strains from Spain are described. They were
grown in BAF medium at 4 different pH values. The maximal growth was obtained at
different pH values for each fungal strain. The colonies of L. deliciosus were different in
colour, shape and texture depending on its geographical origin. Whereas European strains
were fibrillose and with surface yellow to orange, the Neotropical ones were densely
fibrillose and orange-pinkish to cinnamon. That features support the possibility that
European and Neotropical and L. deliciosus are different species
