Summary: 14860 really looks like R. violeipes

Comment: The overall colors and stature really look remind one of R. violeipes, per Irene’s suggestion. All my Russula sources agree — this is a peculiar species.

Disclaimer: I have never collected, nor inspected R. violeipes, so this opinion is based on comparing picures only and is limited.

Vesna, with Russula please pay attentiton to the odor and taste, just as a beginning… Then there are 10 other things you can do to help the id effort.

For sure these two collection represent different species and ought to be split.
