Extract from Wikipedia article: Russula adusta is a species of mushroom.
Russula adusta is a species of mushroom characterized by its small to medium size, brownish-gray cap, and white to cream-colored gills and stem. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in association with coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine, in acidic soils. Fruiting bodies are often found in late summer to early fall, in moist areas with abundant vegetation. The fungus is considered edible, but not highly prized, and is occasionally collected for food in the region.
