Abstract
An overview and key of the Malaysian species of Lactarius subgenus Plinthogalus are given. Three species with strikingly blue colour changes were described before. Eight new species (not blueing) are proposed and fully described and illustrated: L. cinereobrunneus, L cretaceus, L. flavorosescens, L. ferrugineifolius, L. fulvus, L. pallidior, L. papillatus and L. verecundus. Loctarius ochrogalactus Hashiya is for the first time reported in Malaysia. A species, probably identical with L. sublignyotus Henn., is also included. The presence of phaeobasidia, never mentioned before in Lactarius, is illustrated here in Lactarius fulvus.
