Russula crassotunicata, commonly known as the rubbery-capped russula,[2] is a North American fungus in the mushroom genus Russula. It was described by Rolf Singer in 1938 from a collection made in Washington state, United States.[1]
The species is mostly white and often grows on rotted wood.[3] It has been confirmed as a host of the parasitic fungus Dendrocollybia racemosa.[4]
