New Species - Greasy Green Brittlegill

A large stout Brittlegill was near the field edge with an Oak tree closest. Luckily an id was relatively easy as the stipe reacts with Fe2SO4 crystal to give a pinky colour. I will check the spores but it seems conclusive. It is the Greasy Green Brittlegill (Russula heterophylla) which is a widespread species. (Note - spores check out - small and warty)
