Lactarius rubrocinctus is associated with beech (Fagus) on rich soil, forming mycorrhiza. Fruiting bodies can be found from July to October. Rather rare European species, distributed in most parts of Europe, following the distribution of beech (Gminder et al., 2000). Extending north to southern Sweden (Heilmann-Clausen et al., 1998) and south to southern Italy (Onofri, 2005). In surrounding countries, Lactarius rubrocinctus is recorded in Croatia (Z. Tkalčec pers. com.) and Serbia (Katanić et al., 2011). New to the Montenegrin mycobiota.
