I doubt that is truly emetica, a species that so far as I'm aware doesn't have the reddish flush on the stem.
Now, I have no idea what it actually is. Russula are tough -- I think it might be a reddish one

Some sort of russula, but definitely not r.emetica. I suspect this could be r. rhodopus.

I may have to change my guess to R. xerampelina, based on the crustacean-y smell of this one.

Yes, why not! Sounds like a decent guess to me.

Russula sure are pretty. 
I'm no expert with them, but maybe sp. silvicola? I'm really not sure about the redness of the stem, I haven't seen anything like that in my area before.

R. xerampelina I agree with also.. they are a bit out of season, but I just saw some two days ago there may be late bloomers possibly due to a warmer and wetter than usual season.
According to the Audubon guide edibility is good.
