Dr. Badham says that three species of the Russulse make good 

 dishes, viz., R. Heterophylla, R. Rubra, and R. Virescens, but 

 several others are hurtful, and that it requires a good knowledge of 

 them to distinguish the good from the bad. They are, at all events, 

 very ornamental, decorating our woods with their varied and 

 brilliant colours.
