Genus: Russula
Mostly white with splashes of red. Cap appeared fringed but I doubt if this is its natural appearance. It looks like the cap has deteriorated and the gills are showing through.
Open area in state park in SW Pennsylvania

Clive ... That is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Very interesting.
One of the problems I have with identifying mushrooms is their changing appearance as they go through the life cycle. Some of changes are quite dramatic but not shown in literature on the subject.
Pretty creepy, huh?
Wow! did you cut yourself on it?
