Russula queletii otherwise known as the gooseberry russula, is a common, inedible, Russula mushroom[1] found growing in groups, predominantly in spruce forest. Eating this mushroom causes abdominal pains.
Description
The cap is round or convex when young, later becoming broadly convex, flat, or depressed. It is wine-red to purplish in colour and is about 3-10 centimeters in diameter.[2] The gills are white to cream-colored and adnate, subdecurrent, or adnexed. The spore print is cream-colored.[3] The stipe is a similar color to the cap and is about 3-8 centimeters long and 0.5-1.8 centimeters wide.[4] The flesh is white.[2] The scent is fruity, but the taste is acrid.[5]
