You have a Russula species.

They look a lot like the Russula xerampelina I find locally.  Put a small piece in your mouth (don't swallow) and roll it around for flavor, is it spicy or sweet?

I agree with Lhun, it fits well within the Russula xerampelina group.

Key it out in Mushrooms Demystified, or if you can find it, in Agaricales of California.

Thanks for posting this, I've been seeing these kinda smaller shrooms everywhere, also.  They certainly are pretty little things when young, nice and solid.  The cap upturns a lot when mature.


--------------------
"Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats."

"The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

I tasted it, it didn't taste like much of anything.  If I had to say sweet or spicy, I'd go with slightly spicy.  It definitely smells vaginal or shrimpy.

The spicy Russulas are generaly toxic and cause vomiting.    I'd call it the Russula emetica group or maybe close to Russula cremoricolor.    You can eat it if you parboil it or pickle it for 90 days or so.

There are a ton of red, spicy Russulas.

I find R. silvicola around here, but I kind of suspect we're just calling it that because fuck it, that's why. There are a bunch of little pink Russulas that look just like that and are hard to tell apart, and you'll even go down to how far the pink part will peel off the cap without tearing. I've never noticed a distinct smell, though.

Yep, what Alan said.  Spicy and Russula is no good.

The spiciness could have been totally psychosomatic.  I was expecting it to be either spicy or sweet.  It was probably neither. I'll ditch these after i'm done with the spore print.  Too bad, because I found probably 10,000+ of them while trying to find some chanterelles, I found maybe 50 chanterelles, not sure what I'm doing wrong.
