The present paper describes two novel species in Lactarius subg. Lactarius collected from Sikkim, a Himalayan state in India. Lactarius brunneoaurantiacus sp. nov., is characterised by brownish to greyish orange basidiomata, watery white unchanging latex, subglobose to ellipsoid basidiospores with somewhat zebroid pattern of ornamentations and ixotrichopalisade nature of pileipellis whereas, L. indoscrobiculatus sp. nov., a lookalike of the European L. scrobiculatus, is characterised by large to very large pale yellow to ochraceous basidiomata, pileus with concolorous concentric zones, subdistant to distant decurrent lamellae, watery light yellow latex and sour taste. Detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations and nrITS‐based phylogenetic estimation of these species are presented.
