The genus Russula is known for its extensive distribution and global presence of over 3,000 species, with around 130 varieties found in India. Among them, Russula rosea stands out for its vibrant colors and nutritional value, thriving in wooded areas from summer to late autumn. Nutritionally, this species is a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals while being low in calories and fat. Traditionally utilized in folk medicine, Russula rosea exhibits promising pharmacological benefits, such as antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective effects. However, further investigation, including clinical trials, is imperative to gain a comprehensive understanding of its potential benefits. Hence, an attempt has been undertaken to enhance its cultivation method to address food insecurity. Further research, including clinical trials, is needed to fully understand their potential medicinal uses and safety profiles.
