ABSTRACT: Morphological and habitat descriptions, illustrations and taxonomic discussions of eight species of Russula occurring in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North America are presented. Russula earlei, R. ballouii, R. mariae, R. flavida, R. claroflava and R. sanguinea are redescribed. A new subsection of Russula is proposed to accommodate an unusual new species, Russula ochricompacta. Russula aciculocystis, a previously unvalidated species proposed by C. H. Kauffman, is described. External basidiospore morphology of the species endemic to North America is examined by scanning electron microscopy.
