I think this is some sort of russula.

HI there,
I still have difficulty telling the difference between Russula ochroleuca and R.claroflava - if you found this in a damp, boggy area, it is probably the latter.

They were all over the shop in a pine wood we visited yesterday not in damp or boggy areas so would that make it the other one? And thankyou i have an idea of where to start looking a little deeper!

A great way to distinguish between the two is to a) Taste it- R. ochroleuca is quite mild, with nothing much to report and R. claroflava is very hot and acrid. As discussed by myself and Pauline at Clumber, the second way is to smell said specimen. If R. claroflava, it'll smell like stewed apples, if it's the other, it wont. Cheers for that one Pauline

EDIT; There is a colour difference between typical specimens of the different species - i.e. The colour of R. ochroleuca is sometimes/often rather faint and not exactly 'in your face'(perhaps like stewed apples!) colourwise, whereas R. claroflava is a much more pronounced colour-wise and stands out much more.

Almost certainly R.ochroleuca - but if they were a deeper yellow/orange and Beech were nearby they might be something else, (but keep it to yourself )
