a russula is a mushroom (mushroom is a fungi which men can eat) from the family russulaceae. russula is the name of the fam and mushroom call we everything we could eat.!!

maybe. but at the link i find them to slimy, try to search still for some new zeeland species of blue-purple russulas. and when you dont find something more lookalike, stay by the recent id found. good luck
