    I think this is more likely some kind of bolete with pores not a Russula which should have lamellae or gills. Posted 8 years ago

      You could very well be right. It's been two years, I believe I found this ID back then from a specialist group in FB. Not sure what to do know, especially since the gills don't actually show. Posted 8 years ago

        Don't you have another photo like that one?
        Brownish orange fungi with spotted spores at Heeswijk-Dintherse Bossen, Netherlands Note that this one is not as large as it appears on the photo, this is a wide angle (15mm) so close that I was almost touching it. Europe,Heeswijk,Macro,Netherlands,Suillus tridentinus,autumn

        I think this one has pores because I don't see any gills when I zoom it at the rim. You would usually clearly see the gills of a Russula, which is not the case here.
        Russula Mushroom Russula melliolens<br /> It was quite difficult to identify this species. There are about 1060 species in the genus Russula, 74 of them recorded in Bulgaria. I've spent many hours checking hundreds of photos and different sources and finally the most likely species (having in mind the appearance, the time and place it has been found) is Russula melliolens.

          I checked a few more reference photos and I think you're right. I removed the identification. Do note that the other photo I took is not the same specimen, and likely not the same species. Posted 8 years ago
