I chose this one strictly because I like the name. It sounds like the name of a trendy new cocktail. Lactarius rufus is actually a tan-ish, mostly flat capped mushroom with attached gills, purplish flesh and an acrid smell. Like some Russulas, the flesh seems mild at first, becoming extremely hot in a few moments. This mushroom is apparently quite common throughout North America, though I don't recall having seen one. I suppose this means I'll have to post about the Dirty Milky at some point.
