These were Russula aeruginea, R. chamaeleontina, R. baghensa sp. nov., R. hullera sp. nov., R. lepida, R. nauseosa, R. kashmira sp. nov. and R. vesca. One species Russula emetica was redescribed from Kashmir. R. baghensas sp. nov., R. hullera sp. nov., R. kashmira sp. nov., are new to science. Different macro- and micro characters were taken into consideration for their proper identification and biochemical analysis of few species was also performed.
