A new species of Russula subg. Brevipes, growing in Sal-dominated forests is described based on macro- and micromorphological and molecular evidence. It is distinguished macroscopically by small to medium-sized and ivory to white-coloured fruit bodies, globose to sub-globose basidiospores, and clavate or cylindrical hymenial cystidia with a mucronate to rounded apex.
