Could be a Collybia species, but I cannot tell without a underside view. Definitely not a Russula, Lars. Because it has a collyboid/mycenoid habitus: slim and long stem, thin cap. Russulas have a more firm posture, cilindrical stem, thicker cap, lower stemlength to capwidth ratio (which means that the stemlength is often as long as the cap is in diameter).
