 The distinctly spiky spores set this species apart from similar relatives. |
Russula foetens (Pers.) Pers. (1796)

|
|
| The species Russulas foetens features an odor, which is as if someone disposed of almond syrup in the sewage pipes and then tried to clean it off with bleach -- it is a combination of all three odors. It can be compared to Russula subfoetens, which is darker colored and has less spiky spores. This species does not seem to occur in California. | |
