Red Mushroom ID

There are many species of Russula that produce red mushrooms. Difficult to say what we see here... except, they're Russulas. The ones that are acrid/bitter tasting are known to cause sickness. But, after they are boiled three times in three waters, they may be okay to prepare as food. This is what my grandmother's generation of immigrant Americans did to render mixed collections of Russulas edible. With only a few exceptions, red/reddish Russulas are mediocre edibles at best.
