"A rosy example of the Russulan colour range; as important mycorrhizal root partners of conifers, birches and beech, their colours vary with their tree associates. Greatly favoured by squirrels, who dry and store them for winter food."

In publication, Page 70: "Reflections on the Fungaloids" by B.L. Williamson, Ottawa, 1992. ISBN 1-894572-65-3
