Order Russulales
[most growth forms found here]
This is a diverse order containing various growth forms. Members have gloeoplerous hyphae containing fluid that typically stains black in sulfoaldehyde compounds. Many have amyloid spore walls or hyphal walls but this is not a consistent feature. Genera lacking representatives in the Chicago Region are not listed below. For complete picture see links below.
