Russula paludosa is an edible species of mushroom within the large genus Russula. It is common to Europe and North America.
Description
The
gills are cream coloured when young, and become yellow with age. They are adnexed and are generally thin. Their edges may sometimes occur reddish. The amyloid, elli spores measure 8–10 by 7–10 μm are warty and are covered by an incomplete mesh. The stem
is white, sometimes with a pink hue, slightly clubbed. It may measure 5 to 15 cm in height and up to 3 cm in diameter.
Distribution, ecology and habitat
R. paludosa is
coniferous woodlands and in peat bogs of Europe and North America; preferably under pine
trees, where it forms mycorrhizae. Locally it can be very common.
Edibility
The mushroom is edible[1] and is a common good in Finnish markets.[2] Yet it may easily be mistaken for Russula emetica, which is poisonous.
