Multifurca furcata is a rare
mushroom-forming
fungus in the genus
Multifurca. It was originally described as a
Lactarius species in 1918 and was moved to the new genus
Multifurca in 2008. With the genus
Lactarius it shares the exudation of milk-like latex; however, it is microscopically and
molecularly distinct. It has been found very infrequently, with currently known localities in the
USA,
Mexico,
Costa Rica, and
China.
