Rosy Mushroom may also be known as Pungent Russula. The plant
is identified by a medium-sized cap, broadly convex to convex-depressed,
viscid, smooth, hairless, and bright red, The flesh is very soft,
white or pink under the cap. Its gills are adnate (attached to
cap and stem). The stalk is thick and dull white. Rosy Russula's
taste and smell is acrid. While Rosy Russula is usually associated
with areas in the northeast, it is also found in the southeast
region. Look for it in the leaf litter under hardwood trees along
stream banks and in flood zones. |
