Russula mariae
Stunning mushroom with a purple cap, covered in white bloom. The stem was pink and gills were cream-colored. Cap size was approximately 6cm. The cap and stem were very soft, smooth, and dry to the touch.
Growing on the ground in a deciduous forest. The cap was just barely peeking out from underneath all the fall leaves that are already covering the forest floor.
