It may measure 5 to 15 cm in height and up to 3 cm in diameter.\nDistribution, ecology and habitat:\nR. paludosa is mycorrhizal and occurs in coniferous woodlands and in peat bogs of Europe and North America; preferably under pine trees, where it forms mycorrhizae. Locally it can be very common.\nEdibility:\nThe mushroom is edible and is a common good in Finnish markets.\n\nThis Nice Russula was found in the Voorsterbos (Noordoostpolder), the Netherlands, near a Pine Tree in October 2022.
This summer and autumn species is considerd to be inedible.
