PNW hunt request.

Went for a walk in our park, have found many great treats there, but these i am not familiar with. At first glance i thought i was dealing with Amanita's, but not sure that's what i have now.. Could use some help here. The answer is more than likely right in front of me, but guess i need some one to point it out for me. And yes, I'm new here, this place looks great!! Thanks for having me!! Gills: white, flat, open.
Stem: thick, white, dense no root, or evidence of cluster root.
Cap: 2-4", some wavy, but not upturned, red, with hughes of brown toward center, convex towards lip to the gill. All of the ones i found today had bits out of them revealing there whit under tones, also a bit sticky.
Spore print color: making post premature to print time, 1/2hr has gone by on spore print time, and we have no color as of yet.
Bruising: Stem does not turn color when bruised, cap turns brown, but not easily.
Environment: Grassy, conifer, mulch area, no dung.
Location: PNW, more precise, PDX.
I think we had a light rain last night, we went out to play a round of boccie in the park, and i quickly noticed these beautiful red guys every where, in a short 1.5 mile hike, i harvested about 20lbs. Thanks guys!!

Those are Russulas. Many Russula species are edible, some are poisonous. We haven't had any fatalities from any of them in North America, but they get fatalities from them occasionally in Asia and Europe.
The bad news is that they are mostly impossible to ID accurately to species without a microscope.
Happy mushrooming!

many russula have reddish colors the difference between species in all russulas is the different color of the fruit body's in all stages of grow as you can see in your first picture maybe all those are the same specie and you can see all the difference in all stages of the life in pin and in aging , some red russula like emetica cause gastrointestinal problems, also i have not found the russula to have any meat to mush on after you cook then , i still Ned to find the good ones......

Thank you all very much. I went back out in the park again this evening, and to my surprise, found a family of Vietnamese picking them, with butcher blades, spearing them up from precisely an inch below the soil base. They had bags of them, 5, 2 women, and 2 young girls, as well as an elder man that spoke English. When i approached him to ask how they tasted, he said they where great in a soup, but not too good on there own, he also had another kind of mushroom in the bag, i will look into what that was, i think i already know. So no, it wasn't what i thought it was, but i did make a sauce out of it tonight with red bell peppers, apples, garlic, peppercorns, and a heavy stout. Served roasted pork loin over rice, and drizzled the sauce. Had a unsuspecting earthy taste as well as a very evident presence of mushroom, was delightful!! Thanks again for a great reply to a noobs first post! Hope you don't mind if i stick around for a while..

Make sure you taste a little of each one so you don't get any peppery Lactarius in there.
Also toss out ones that stain brown where damaged, those cause gastrointestinal distress.
The rest should be good in soup.
