%X Lactarius subg. Plinthogalus (s.l.) was represented by thirteen taxa from the Indian subcontinent. In this paper, two taxa: Lactarius crenulatus, L. croceigalus are proposed and described as new species in Lactarius subg. Plinthogalus. From Lactifluus subg. Gerardii, two species, Lactifluus leae (new record for the Indian mycoflora) and L. ochrogalactus (reported earlier) are described for the first time with their macro- and micro-morphological details supported by illustrations. Comparisons with allied Asian taxa are also discussed.
