Hi Gary, I'll bring these in tonight. They're no longer as lovely as those pictured above, a deep brick-red color. The ones in the field are now pretty faded but they have that pit depression in the center, a white mycelium base, round spores instead of elliptical (my first try looking at spores so not totally sure), and growing beneath pines. So I'm leaning towards Laccaria laccata too.
