Russula sardonia, commonly known as the primrose brittlegill, is a mushroom of the genus Russula, which are commonly known as brittlegills. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is a reddish-purple, the colour of blackberry juice, and is found in coniferous woodland in summer and autumn. It is inedible, and like many inedible members of the genus, has a hot, peppery taste.\nDescription:\nThe cap grows to around 10 cm (4 in) in diameter. It is commonly purplish-red, but brownish, and greenish forms have been recorded. Usually it is darker in colour towards the middle, which is convex when young, but becomes depressed in the centre with age. The stem is occasionally white, but more commonly is flushed with pale purple-red, and has a grape-like; easily removed bloom. It is 3–8 cm tall and 1–1.5 cm in diameter. The adnexed to slightly decurrent gills are pale primrose yellow, and they darken with age. They are narrow, and exude water droplets when young.(see photograph left) They also turn slowly pink when ammonia is dropped onto them. This identifies the mushroom to species level, and is a ‘must do’ test for the rarer colour forms. The spore print is cream.[1] The flesh is firm, and has a very hot taste, making the mushroom inedible.\nDistribution and habitat:\nRussula sardonia appears in late summer and autumn; growing with Pinus (pine) in coniferous woodland, on sandy soils. It is a common mushroom, and is found across Britain, and Northern Europe. It does not occur in North America. \nEdibility:\nThis mushroom is inedible, and has a 'pepper hot' taste. (Source Wikipedia). \n\nThis nice Russula was growing under Pine Trees in the Voorsterbos (Noordoostpolder), Netherlands.

Russula aeruginea is a gregarious mushroom, usually occurring in small scattered groups.Cap: Pale to very pale grass green, and becoming progressively paler towards margin, the cap of Russula aeruginea peels half way to the centre; convex, flattening only in the centre, sometimes with a slight depression; greasy when moist; margin sometimes faintly grooved; 4 to 9cm across; surface not cracked.Gills: White, eventually turning yellow with age, the gills of the Green Brittlegill are adnexed and crowded.Stem: White, more or less cylindrical, sometimes tapering at the base; 4 to 8cm long, 0.7 to 2cm in diameter.Chemical tests : The flesh has a slow pink reaction to iron salts (FeSO4). : Spores:Ellipsoidal, 6-10 x 5-7μm (excluding spines); ornamented with rounded warts up to 0.7μm tall which are joined by a few fine lines to form a partial network.Spore print: CreamOdour/taste:  Not distinctive.Season: July to October in Britain and Ireland. Habitat: Often found on the edges of pine forests but nearly always under birches. In common with other members of the Russulaceae, Russula aeruginea is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom. Distribution: A fairly common find in The Netherlands, Britain and Ireland, the Green Brittlegill occurs throughout mainland Europe and is reported from many other parts of the world including North America.
Russulaceae. There are some excellent edible mushrooms in the Russulaceae family, some of which can even be eaten raw. However, the family also includes inedible mushrooms, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. What's more, there are also some deadly toxic species in the Russulaceae family, such as *Russula subnigricans*. Ingestion of *Russula subnigricans* can cause very severe rhabdomyolysis, and this mushroom is a major culprit in mushroom poisoning in China and Japan. When you find these mushrooms, do not collect or eat them at random. If you experience discomfort after ingesting them, seek medical help as soon as possible.
