Russulas can have several collours,Red,purple,grey,almost black,brow,cream,white :-) many collours and tonalitys because they change collours with age.This one was about ,cup 10cm and higth about the same mesure,but there are much more sized russulas

Is it normally red like other Russula sp? And love how big the gills are!
