Russulaceae

There are two genera in this family, both with brittle caps whose often brightly coloured cuticle peels off easily, and brittle stems that never have a ring. Both genera have white, pale brown, or yellow spores that turn blue in iodine. All species in this family grow on soil, and are typically thought to be mycorrhizal.
