A splash of colour in the forest

A colourful mushroom, that I think is a Russula sp., seen along the forest trail leading to the overlook at Peyto Lake (off the Icefields Parkway / Highway 93, Banff National Park). Any kind of bright colour in the forest is always a welcome sight - purple, blue, red, orange, yellow : )

Anne Elliott replied to LeapFrog:

Thanks, Art! Yes, I think it has to be some kind of Russula, but not sure exactly what. What is really missing in Calgary, is a Mycologist, who could come with us when we visit various places! Mosses, Lichens and Liverworts are pretty much covered by my specialist friends, but for fungi, there is no one, unfortunately.
