 | Russula parvovirescens | |
R. parvovirescens is a previously ignored but nevertheless common species that occurs all over the eastern United States, from Maine to Texas. Photo © William Roody. | ||
 | It looks like a small R. virescens but has a slender stipe, fragile cap and white gills. Photo © Bart Buyck. | |
 | R. parvovirescens has distinct, cylindrical dermatocystidia in the subpellis. Some of them emerge in between the very voluminous extremities of the suprapellis. Photo © Bart Buyck. | |
 | Using a handlens, it is very easy to see the subtle veined pattern caused by the voluminous extremities on the cap surface. Photo © Bart Buyck. |
