First Brittlegill of 2025 - Purple Brittlegill (Russula atropurpurea)

I'm not skilled at separating out the many Brittlegills (Russula sp) but this common one is reasonably easy to id. I did have pause for thought as to whether the three specimens in the photo were all the same species as the colouration is different but I think it is just an ageing fading thing. They were in the panhandle of the West Field close to an Oak.
