Field Notes

Description:

Russulas have a distinctive flesh consistency, which is also reflected in the appearance of the gills and stipe, and normally makes them immediately recognizable. They have no trace of a veil (no ring, or veil remnants on the cap). The gills are brittle except in a few cases, and cannot be bent parallel with the cap without breaking. The spore powder varies from white to cream, or even orange.

Habitat:

mediterranean forest

Yeah, it's a Russula. I think it would be pretty hard to tell which without microscopy.
