Look like shrimp russula but taste was gradually bitter/peppery, not mild.

Murky brown cap, but the gills were distinctly lilac. Growing near pine.

Not confident about the ID. Growing in the duff next to some redwoods. Distinctive but not unpleasant aroma, so ruling out Clitocybe nebularis though it looks similar.

Don’t think they’re gyms because the spores were white. I’m stumped (pun intended)!

Found in moist soil on a lawn.
