Russula species

There was a small cluster of these mushroooms on the forest floor, and this one has clearly been nibbled on. Probably by a red squirrel as they love mushrooms. This is probably poisonous.

Lovely color and pleasing composition. I like the nibbled part but hope it wasn't poisonous to the poor squirrel! V.

Great capture, I love finding these and most usually as this one, they have been eaten, by slugs I think! V

Nice color. I didn't see many interesting mushrooms during my recent trip.

I love Russula sp. but it is so difficult to get the right name. Great capture and the colour is awesome.
