Nomenclature

Russula subgraminicolor Murrill (basionym)
Lloydia 6 (3): 218. 1943.

Original diagnosis

Pileus convex to deeply depressed, scattered, 6-8 cm. broad; surface glabrous, slightly viscid, peeling readily, striate to the disk in age, uniformly grass-green without variation; context rather thin, white, unchanging, odorless, mild; lamellae adnate, plane, medium broad, medium distant, equal, many forked at the base, entire, white; spores globose or subglobose, roughly echinulate, uninucleate, pale-stramineous in mass, 5-7 u; stipe subequal, lightly striate, glabrous, milk-white, about 5-6 x 1.5-2 cm.
Type collected by West and Murrill under oaks in Prairie Creek Hammock, just south of Newnan's Lake, Florida, July 27, 1938 (F 17942). Many specimens were collected and the color was always the same. The spores are paler and smaller than those of R. graminicolor Quel., while too yellow to match those of R. crustosa Peck.
