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 hemispherical when young, which later becomes convex. The colour can be wine-red and is usually 5 to 6 cm in diameter but can be up to 10 cm. The gills are white, which are brittle, and the spores are cream. The stem is a similar colour to the cap and evenly thick. The flesh is white and the scent is fruity.[2][additional citation(s) needed]
