K found a bloody brittlegill fungus, and we checked to see if it was poisonous. "Yes, but it also tastes very hot, spicy and acrid, so no one would enjoy it, anyway." ...Which just makes me want to try it MORE, but no. Don't eat poison mushrooms, guys.

Russula sanguinaria | ©Ray Purser (Norfolk, England)
Russula sanguinaria, Syn. Russula sanguinea (Russulaceae), is an infrequent species found mainly under pine trees. The cap and stem are various shades of red, often with some white areas.
The Bloody Brittlegill is widespread and fairly in many European countries. There are reports of Russula sanguinaria (or a very similar species) being common and widespread in North America.
