Description
Russulas are a diverse group of fungi known for their brittle and often colorful cap, which is typically round and smooth. Many species have a mild-to-spicy flavor due to unique compounds they produce. Their stems are usually white and can break like chalk. Some russulas species have distinctive smells, ranging from fruity to fishy. They play a significant ecological role in forests by forming symbiotic relationships with trees.
