Extract from Wikipedia article: Russula claroflava, commonly known as the yellow russula, yellow swamp russula or yellow swamp brittlegill, is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Russula. It is found in wet places under birch and aspen woodlands across Europe and North America. It has a yellow cap, white gills and stipe and bruises grey. It is mild-tasting and regarded as good to eat.
Russula claroflava is a species of mushroom characterized by its bright yellow to orange-yellow cap, 3-7 cm in diameter, with a slightly wrinkled surface. The stem is white or pale yellow, 3-6 cm long and 0.8-1.5 cm wide. It has a mild taste and a pleasant odor.

Yellow brittlegill mushrooms (Russula claroflava(?)) partially lit by ultraviolet light in Sosnovka Park. Saint Petersburg, Russia, July 30, 2024Круговая аллея, округ Сосновское, Санкт-Петербург, Северо-Западный федеральный округ, 194064, РоссияObservations of Russula claroflava in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal its presence in urban parks. In Sosnovka Park, Saint Petersburg, the fungus was found on July 30, 2024, with yellow brittlegill mushrooms identified as potential Russula claroflava. The mushrooms were observed in their natural state and also under ultraviolet light, which partially illuminated them. This suggests that the species may have fluorescent properties. The sightings in Sosnovka Park indicate that Russula claroflava can thrive in urban environments, possibly associating with tree species found in the park. Further study is needed to confirm the identity of the mushrooms and understand their ecological role in the region. The observations provide valuable insights into the distribution and characteristics of Russula claroflava in north-western Russia.
