a russula is a mushroom (mushroom is a fungi which men can eat) from the family russulaceae. russula is the name of the fam and mushroom call we everything we could eat.!!
well, i've noticed that the first 2 in the link are indeed slimy.. but the third photo looks just right.. so for now i think i'll go with this one.. feel free to prove me wrong.. :) btw, whats the dif' between a mushroom and a russulas??
maybe. but at the link i find them to slimy, try to search still for some new zeeland species of blue-purple russulas. and when you dont find something more lookalike, stay by the recent id found. good luck
Thanx guys.. I was wondering about it for a while.. can it be a Russula macrocystidiata? http://hiddenforest.co.nz/fungi/family/rusulaceae/rusul04.htm
yes , just now, it is some of the russulas. shall i search some refferenzes about the european species or will you search for yourself. but definitly russula
