Status
Dozens of species of red-capped Russula have been reported from Eastern North America. This group will require a comprehensive, molecular phylogenetic analysis to determine the identity and distribution of North American species.
Description
Cap: Shades of pink to red; convex, smooth, dry; peels easily. Gills: Crowded. Stalk: White, smooth. Only safely distinguished from other red Russulas by microscopic examination.
Where To Find
Found solitary or in small groups in mixed forests, usually on well-rotted logs or woody debris.
