The photograph showcases a trio of **Russula cyanoxantha**, also known as "blue brittlegill" mushrooms.

This species is distinguished by its pale blue-green coloration and dark brown cap, which can reach up to 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) in diameter. The light gray gills are decurrent, meaning they extend down the stem of the mushroom. A distinctive feature of this species is that when damaged, the mushrooms will "bleed" a blue liquid.

The mushroom shown here has been broken open to reveal its white gills and pale yellow spore print. Its overall appearance suggests it may have been harvested for consumption. – AI vision
