The Russulaceae family encompasses a diverse group of fungi, including the Fleecy milk-cap fungus (Lactifluus / Lactarius vellereus), which boasts a velvety texture and can be found among lush foliage. Another member of this family is The Sickener mushrooms (Russula emetica), known for their vibrant appearance as they fruit amidst fallen leaves. In contrast, the Peppery Milk-cap mushrooms (Lactarius piperatus) emerge from autumn's carpeted ground with a hint of spice. These intriguing species are not limited to forests alone; they also thrive in unexpected places like amongst debris from Sweet Chestnut trees (Castanea sativa). Meanwhile, the Slender Brittlegill (Russula gracillima) gracefully emerges from damp mossy grounds in Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. October brings forth the Rosy Russula (Russula lepida), its delicate fruiting bodies scattered amidst grass in Leicestershire woodlands. On the banks of Loch Ruthven, Birch Milkcap mushrooms (Lactarius tabidus) find solace within moss-covered terrain. Brede High Woods provide shelter for Primrose Brittlegills (Russula sardonia), whose fruiting bodies peek through fallen pine needles. As September unfolds, Scarlet Brittle-gills (Russula pseudointegra) make their presence known in oak woodlands across Wiltshire, England. Each member of the Russulaceae family adds its unique charm to our natural landscapes - an enchanting reminder that beauty thrives even in unexpected corners of our world.
