Growing from moss pad on open east-facing mixed oak/hickory woodland slope near Northern Red Oak, Shagbark Hickory, Ash, and Bur Oak. Taste mild to nutty; pleasant. Sheathing volva. No annulus present.

Growing from compacted soil covered in moss in open mixed oak woodland near Northern Red Oak, Eastern Red Cedar, Black Oak, Roughleaf Dogwood, and distant Chinkapin Oak trees. Gills and cap margin fairly flexible for a Russula species. Taste: Slowly acrid. KOH slowly turning light orange on trama near the cap margin. Trama gritty, cellular, apple-like. Gills appear almost waxy. 3cm tall and 6cm wide.

Emerging from large decaying hardwood log in the bottom of low moist woodland draw dominated by paw paw trees. Locally abundant on log and absent on nearby logs. Specimens appear to be parasitizing Ophiocordyceps variabilis and/or directly competing for its larval host.
