Lactarius baliophaeus is a member of the large milk-cap genus Lactarius in the order Russulales. Described as new to science by mycologist David Pegler in 1969, the species is found in Ghana,[1] Benin,[2] and Zambia.[3] Fruitbodies of the type collection were found growing in the ground under Cassia.[1] It is closely related to Lactarius subbaliophaeus, a species described from Togo in 2014. Both are classified in Lactarius section Nigrescentes.[3] L. baliophaeus is edible and used as food.[4]
