Thank you, Antonio. I figured it would be something like that. I will update the ID. :-)
Nice find Tamar,it's a red russula species,almost impossible to tell the exact species without spore microscopic photos,according to the fungi speciealist we have in PN,so you you can id him us red russula in common name and russula sp. in the scientifc name
