Bare-toothed Russula (Russula vesca) gets its Latin name Russula, which means red color, due to its reddish cap. The second part of its Latin name, vesca, means edible, but it should be noted that this doesn't mean this species should be considered edible by default. This widespread mushroom can be found growing close to oak and beech trees.
