I was reading about Lactarius sp. and found out that Lactarius deterrimus can become a bit greenish (greenish spots) when it becomes older or has some injuries! So I think this could be that species, it has a bit greenish spots :)

No worries, English is not my native language, so I'm also just learning! :))
Are you very sure that it's that species? Very interesting that they grow there!!! ;)

Selma, thank you very much! :)
I don't remember if there were pine trees in that part of the wood (these need pine trees) or there were only spruces (in that case it could be Lactarius deterrimus, very similar). I will have to check that! ;) But anyway, it surely belongs to Lactarius sp.
I will decide on the species after visiting that place again! :)
