Russula olivacea ?

Russula olivacea is very close to Russula cyanoxantha. The stipe of R.olivacea is slightly red purple, the same color as their cap while R.cyanoxantha is white. The gill of the former is a bit creamy while the latter is white. The taste of the former is lighter than the latter. The rim of the former cap has sometimes concentric circle-like wrinkles. Although below specimen has such kinds of characteristics, I cannot conclude that this is Russula olivacea. I need inspect the type of the spore which is, however, beyond my ability at this moment.
