My first Eastern Milk was up in the sand counties of northeastern Illinois.  Subsequently, I've found several more, all of them under tin or plywood, in the vicinity of abandoned farm fields.  Not quite as pretty as Red Milks in my opinion, but some of them are quite nice!  Down around Champaign and Danville, Illinois, some specimens have a greenish cast to their appearance.
