Russula puellaris is a species of mushroom. The cap ranges from 3 to 7 cm wide, and is pink, purple or brown, with a darker red center. The odor and taste are mild. Its edibility is unknown, but it is too small to be of interest.[1] The spores are yellow, subglobose, and slightly bumpy. Similar species include Russula cessans and Russula queletii.[1]
