Specimen notes
Public Note:
pinkish LIAS:304.0,28.6,32.0,49.1,70.0,100.0. Taste hot but not burning. FeSO4 salmon pink. Cap margin striate, peeling halfway. Gill colour and spores D. No smell. Cap 4-10cm. Gill edge entire. SV on stem pink/red. Guiac reaction blue/green. Dematocystidia obviously stained dark blue/grey with SV, some clavate, septate(?). Spores with isolated warts and no connecting ridges. R. pulchella but not with birch? Following is Pat Leonard's response; "Your Russula (11 Jan) certainly looks like R. pulchella (Which has now reverted as R. exalbicans Pers. in most books and is also listed as R. depallens by others.). But, R. pulchella is always with Birch and always on acid sandy soils, so I am very doubtful of the ID. The indigenous R. purpureotincta can also look very like this, and does seem to have a few dermatocystidia, despite what McNabb says (he does not seem to have used SV), but your spore print seems too dark. There is a form of R. maculata this colour and it grows with oak and has the right spore ornamentation and dcy’s, but the spore print is G. I really do not know the answer. ". ITS gave poor results.
