Those are Lactarius. They are terrestrial (usually) and grow mycorrhizal. What kind of trees was it growing near?
Good job on the ID request!

Those leaves look like oak. It was probably growing with oak.

Well, if you're gonna hunt mushrooms, you should stop expecting a lot of mushrooms to be active, because the great majority are not active. Or, get used to being disappointed a LOT.
>(also... when i bit a small part of the cap, it taisted bitter but burned >my mouth too. *is that normal*)
Yes. It means don't eat it. 
You just tasted it, and spit it out right? If you swallowed some, you will be fine, but DO NOT do it again with any other mushrooms until you can identify them properly. You can taste mushrooms (and spit them out), even the poisonous ones, but do not swallow.
That burning is the reason I won't taste test Russula nor Lactarius.

yes i spit it out.
i guess that sucks tho... i was hoping they were hallucinogenic so i could take tomarrow. guess ill just go find other 1s...
BUT i didnt clean the mushroom when i first took a small peice.. so possiblly the burning was from somthing on the mushroom.

Maybe do a little more research. Those mushrooms don't look anything like Gymnopilus, so make sure you know what you're looking for, so you don't get so bummed. Mushroom hunting is not always easy! Also, Gymnopilus grow on wood, not out of dirt and leaves.

I actually have some fresh Gymnopilus sapineus or a species very similar sitting on my desk right now, 6 inches from my hand... I wouldn't eat them.

G. sapineus grows from wood of conifers and hardwood, and on sawdust. There is also a G. subsapineus. Other look a likes might be G. penetrans and G. flavidellus. And then there are probably 200+ other Gymnopilus species found throughout the world you might want to research also (Gymno's are not all to easy to identify). Pholiota mushrooms are also commonly mistaken for Gymnopilus also, and just a guess there are probably hundreds of Pholiota species also.
Also, from my memory, I do not believe G. sapineus is even neurotropic.
And TheThizzle, just a honest observation, you should not be eating any wild mushrooms you find yet. Study them every day for another 1-3 years and then think about cautiously consuming something you find.

Thizzle, like I said, they do NOT grow on cow manure. They grow on wood. I think you need to find out which active species grow in your area, what habitat they prefer, and what they look like.
>Also, from my memory, I do not believe G. sapineus is even neurotropic.
That was my recollection as well, however, I already looked it up, and a few sources say that they do contain psilocybin.

Sapineus are not active as far as im concerned. Ive found quite a few specimens over the past few years, most differing in location and substrate type (i.e. degradation level of the wood, type of wood, ect...) None were even remotely active. I also noticed that they are only slightly bitter compared to Specs, and that their odor is far less fragrant. Blah. Im so jealous of all you WC people! the season is long over here in the north east! Mr. Thizzle, Its best to be very patient regarding mushroom hunting. Its going to be hard for your eyes to understand what they are looking for until you actually stumble upon something. Most of what you find will not be active, and some of what you find is going to be poisonous. Rather than heading out with your laptop, I'd recommend picking up a few books and heading out with them; look up EVERYTHING you find...get more into the mushroom hunting hobby rather than the "go out and look for drugs" aspect of it. Its a lot more fulfilling in the long run. Dont mean to be preaching, just want to be helpful.
