Hola Felipe y Cristina,

Beautiful shot as always, perfect exposure and composition, mysterious lights, top class sharpness (maybe except for the closest square centimeters).

Russula parazurea Jul. Schäff. can't be excluded, but we'll never know the truth most probably, because species of the section Heterophyllae are quite similar to each other macroscopically. For example Russula ionochlora Romagn. also satisfies all the visible macroscopic features of your photo. I only found R. parazurea once in my life, it's rare here, and in that case its cap was metallic blue.

For identifying Russulas (and Lactarius genera also): if You're sure in the genus, You have to taste a bit of the gills. If they are hot, the mushroom's inedible. Exceptions are very few. Anyway, I strongly advice to everyone not knowing what "hot taste" means to taste a gill of Lactarius pyrogalus. :)

Friendly regards, László

Hola Felipe,
Ahora si que me da verguenza por las fotos que te envié!... je... je... je...! :) Pero bueno! no me queda más que aplaudirte esta!...¿el secreto de todo ese "volúmen y definción" parece estar en la exposición prolongada, eh?.... Yo soy poco de usar trípodes, pues me la paso de mariposa en mariposa, y las de aquí apenas sin dan tiempo de que uno tome un par de fotos la mayoría de las veces!...
Saludos, Gracias por compartir, Jesús
