Yes a Russula sp. With this genus it is important to know what tree they are associated with (as they are mycorrhizal): eg. R. emetica is found with conifers and R. nobilis only with Beech. With Russula you need to check microscopic details to confirm identities.
Many thanks Roy for all your comments. I have updated the pages with which you’ve helped with identification. There are five more galleries coming up over the next 10 days, pictures taken in early October. If you get a chance to take a look, it would be much appreciated.
