The Grass-green Russula

''Russula aeruginea'', also known as the grass-green Russula, the tacky green Russula, or the green Russula, is an edible ''Russula'' mushroom. Widely distributed in northern temperate regions, it is usually found under birch, mostly in pine forests. The very poisonous death cap can have a similar appearance, especially from above.
