Russula Brevipes

Also called Short-stemmed Russula

Seen on hike along the Salmon River 8/29/13 Hike 230







Russula brevipes is said to be an edible species, but it certainly is not choice.

This mushroom is commonly parasitized by the parasitic ascomycete Hypomyces lactifluorum. The parasitization transforms this mushroom into the much more desirable edible mushroom known as a lobster mushroom.



The spore print is definitely white



The spores are round with worts
