Russula persanguinea is a species of agaric fungus in the family Russulaceae.[1] Described as new to science by John Burton Cleland in 1933,[2] it is found in Australia, where it grows singly or in small groups on the ground in eucalypt forests and woodlands. It resembles the common Northern Hemisphere species Russula emetica.[3]
