Cap
6-10 cm. Convex to flat. Off-white, pale yellow covered in white pieces of velar remains or veil.
Stem
7-11 cm long, 1-2 cm diameter. White, slightly yellowish. Bulbous at the base with a delicate volva sometimes hollowing in the middle.
Skirt
Superior. A short lived, non striated skirt that is usually low down on the stem. Once gone, it usually leaves a small mark on the stem.
Possible Confusion
Could potentially be confused with some of the yellow Russulas but Russulas don’t have a skirt or volva and have brittle gills. The Geranium Russula, (Russula fellea) is pictured.
Frequency
Uncommon.
