Extract from Wikipedia article: Russula ochroleuca is a member of the genus Russula. A group that have become known as brittlegills. It has been commonly known as the Common Yellow Russula for some years, and latterly the Ochre Brittlegill. It is widespread, and common in mixed woodland.
Russula ochroleuca is a small to medium-sized mushroom with a yellowish-brown cap, white gills, and a white stem. It grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce and pine trees. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to September, preferring moist, acidic soils. In north-western Russia, it is widely distributed, found in various forest types, including taiga and subalpine zones, at elevations up to 500 meters above sea level. The fungus is considered rare to occasional in the region, with fruiting bodies often solitary or scattered.
