Russula caerulea?
Growing directly underneath coniferous tree (see last 2 photos). Gills fairly brittle no distictive smell or taste that I can remember. Growing alone with a slightly larger fruit-body about 5-6m away. I have some dried gill fragments and a microscope. Macroscopically two options could be Russula caerulea (Humpback brittlegill) or Russula atropurpurea (Purple brittlegill)

Fungi season is on right now here in the UK! Unfortunately there's too many to upload :D
hey nice profile pic!
Nice gills. Tight and white. I'm looking forward to your fungi season. Bring it on.
