Blackening Brittlegill

description Blackening Brittlegill Overview

The blackening brittlegill (*Russula nigricans*) is a firm-fleshed mushroom of the genus *Russula*, recorded from woodland habitats in Europe and elsewhere. Its cap is initially pale, grayish, or brownish, while the flesh, gills, and bruised areas gradually darken and may become black with age. The species is part of a group that can be difficult to identify safely, and its reported edibility is treated cautiously by modern foragers.
