Russula cremoricolor, also known as the winter russula, is a species of gilled mushroom. [1] This mushroom has red, cream-yellow, and pink color variants, which complicates attempts at field identification, [2] [3] although finding "red and creamy capped fruitbodies in close proximity is a good clue indicating this species". [4]
