   I was introduced to xeramplina last year at a mushroom show at the   
   local community college.  Shortly thereafter I started picking and   
   consuming it.  It is quite good.   
      
   However, there seems to be quite a bit of overlap in the redcapped   
   russula.  I was told that one way to identify xeramplina was the blush   
   on the stipe but I've found some with nearly a red stipe the blush was   
   so prominent and others with just the slightest hint.  I've also seen   
   pictures on the web of olivacea with a red cap and pink stipe.   
      
   To summarize I'm quite sure I've eaten sanguinea and maybe olivacea   
   without ill effects.   
      
   What other russula are folks eating?
