Nah i left these alone, but now i'm tempted to plant some at home so i can maybe catch a time lapse of them devouring something. There were a lot of red russulas around there, but I really wouldn't have a clue what it ate. Appreciate the id, saves so many hours of searching!

Freaky they may be, though people pay big bucks for these mushrooms. I personally am put off by the texture, but most of my friends love them. Of course you will want to get them when they are firm, not squishy or soggy.
H. lactifluorum parasitizes Russula and Lactarius, so yes, they were probably consuming the red Russula!
You can't "plant" Russula because that genus is mycrorrhizal, meaning it will only grow attached to the roots of specific trees.

I agree CureCat, freaky parasite I would love to try them but I have not come across them here in NZ! I don't think it would be easy to start a patch at home. It almost certainly is parasitizing the red Russula. inski.

If i put a clump of the lobster alongside a russula in the yard, will they hypomyces take? The russulas piss me off because they are never round.

Maybe! You should try it! It certainly could work.
I have a friend who blended up a bunch of nasty old ones like you have there, and then dumped that water/mushroom sludge all over a known Russula patch in an unaffected area (without H. lactiflurorum), and the next season the mushrooms were in fact parasitized.

Why does the mushrooms shape concern you?

Ok to wait a year for colonization would be too long for a good time lapse, but I may yet try it on the russulas; i just don't like them because they're always a disappointment to look at, that's all.

But why??
I find them to be one of the more attractive genera.

Exactly. Russula is one of the prettier genera, so many hues of red...
