...another link I find quite informative and interesting ( from the UK but they do mention species in the US). There are a few similar species so, I hope an expert who knows fungi in your area would be able to help to conifrm.

This could be a Red Cracking Bolete (Xerocomellus chrysenteron). The stem shows beautiful reticulation and the cap is cracked and slightly red. Also the pore surface shows dark bruising.
Have a read of this for other details you might have observed - like the actual colour, type of trees in the yard if any, etc

What happened to the first pic Kris?? The stipe has gone really purple. In the other pic it looks the right colour to me (pinkish/red). Maybe the settings on your cam got bumped or something?? Could be a 'cracking bolete' if we ignore the purple.
