Phylogenetically, this species shares the highest ITS sequence similarity with R. perviridis (95 %), R. nigrovirens (94 %), and R. cyanoxantha (93 %). It also shares LSU sequence similarities in the range of 96 % – 98 % with R. variata Banning, R. parvisaxoides (T. Lebel) T. Lebel, and R. banwatchanensis Sommai.

Russula nigrovirens has a dark green pileus, wider basidiospores (up to 8 μm), and longer pileocystidia (up to 62.0 μm) (Zhao et al. 2015). Russula cyanoxantha has a greenish-purple pileus, larger basidiomata (pileus diameter up to 12 cm), and longer hymenial cystidia (up to 100 μm) (Bon 1988; Sarnari 1998). Russula variata features lamellae turning rust-brown when bruised, spore ornamentation arranged in chains and connected into ridges, and narrower basidia (7–8.5 µm) (Sarnari 1998). Russula parvisaxoides forms sequestrate basidiomata with a white surface bearing pale yellow to orange-brown patches, and longer basidiospores (up to 11 μm) (Lebel 2002). Russula banwatchanensis has longitudinal striations on the stipe, lower spore ornamentation (not exceeding 1.0–2.0 μm), and longer pileocystidia near the margin (42.5–127.5 μm) (Crous et al. 2022).</p><p>Morphologically, only R. brunneoviolacea Crawshay, R. phloginea, and R. pseudocyanoxantha Paloi are quite similar to this species, as all share purplish pileus tones, basidiospore sizes ranging from 6.0–9.0 × 5.0–7.0 μm, and subcylindrical or clavate hymenial cystidia. However, R. brunneoviolacea has a stipe that turns yellow locally when bruised, higher spore ornamentation (1–1.6 μm), and wider pileocystidia (up to 9 μm) (Sarnari 1998). Russula phloginea features small white crust-like warts or saddle-brown thin scales on the pileus and longer pileocystidia (up to 56 μm) (Song et al. 2019). Russula pseudocyanoxantha has a hollow stipe that turns pale yellow when bruised, and spore ornamentation composed of completely isolated warts without any connections (Khatua et al. 2021 b).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/360146DD931E581694A6FA2975F40BCA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
