Russula aeruginea – green brittlegill

Synonym: Russula graminicolor.

Common name: green brittlegill.

Extract from Wikipedia article: Russula aeruginea, also known as the grass-green Russula, the tacky green Russula, or the green Russula, is an edible Russula mushroom. Widely distributed in northern temperate regions, it is usually found under birch, mostly in pine forests. The very poisonous death cap can have a similar appearance, especially from above.
