Mushroom ID

Anyone recognize this? Found NE Scotland.

Looks like a russula (that’s been battered by the rain) to me.

Thanks, that's what came up on iNaturalist but the frayed edges made me question it. You'd be right about the rain it being Scotland and all!

It's been feasted on. The frayed edges are not its natural shape.

Russula are easy to get to genus - break a bit off and see if the flesh is "crumbly" - once you've seen this once, you'll find it easy to recognise. If it's crumbly, and exudes milk, it's a Lactarius; crumbly and no milk, a Russula.

Thank you, that's an interesting tip
