Instead a flesh contains besides numbers of big globose cells ('sphaerocysts'), which produce to the macroscopical consistency.

Genera
There are merely 2 genera:

The genus Russula comprises around 160 mintage, a majority of which are then quite hard to identify. It develop splitting gills & don't exude the whitish substance at cut shells, contrarily to the genus Lactarius. There are many comestible mintage (Russula vesca, Russula viresens or even Russula aurata).

A genus Lactarius, characterized by caps and stalks that exude the milklike substance ("latex") when pressed or even cut & lactiferous, gloeoplerous hyphae, is a big genus of mycorrhizal fungi. While cut, the mushroom exudes a kinda whitish liquid. This liquid is can be orange, red, lilac, white or even yellow, & can respond with its final colour exclusively when exposure to air.
