Russula olivacea is an edible and non-poisonous Russula mushroom found mostly in groups from June in deciduous and coniferous forests, mainly under spruce and beech; not rare.

[1] The gills are cream, deep ochre when old and rather crowded and brittle.

[1] The flesh is firm, white, with a pleasant or innocuous scent, and has a mild or nutty taste.

Some say it is edible[2] and other say it is toxic,[3] perhaps causing gastrointestinal upset.

[1] Russula viscida is in size and habitat very similar; the surface of its cap is bright purple to blood red and shiny.
