Habitat:
Found along Pacific Crest Trail at roughly 4000 feet elevation within the cascade range. Was in 80-90 percent shade, growing up through deep, fluffy pine needles in a coniferous forest.
Gills:
Apparant in Photo.
Stem:
About two inches and thick. Not hollow and slightly sticky to touch. I noticed small fibrous strands were pulled away when you removed your fingers after moderate pressure.
Cap:
Roughly 3.25 inches in diameter....but it was young and would have grown larger. Color ranged from a tannish yellow to caramel.
Spore print color:
Russet.
Bruising:
No bruising noted.
Other information:
Cap was relatively slimy, but that diminished by the time it got home and remained dry through spore print process.
Side Note:
No matter how interesting a mushroom looks, never loose sight of your walking/poking/anti-spider stick. I tossed mine down on the trail and crouched for the photos. When I picked it back up, it had pack llama poo all over the handle and I had to sprint down the trail like a frightened girl scout, scanning for broad leaves....while the flies buzzed me and my girlfriend nearly fainted from laughter. Llama poo smells like freshly mowed grass by the way.....she wouldnt sniff it.

It could be a Hebeloma.

Looks a lot like the Hebeloma Crustuliniforme in my field guide
It's poisonous
