Russula

Absolutely true!! I tell you, there can be (especially for Russulas) five mushrooms that look like this one in your spotting, and they can all be a different species. You needs lots of tools and guides, as well as experience, to properly ID some mushrooms.

Thanks for the suggestions all! Mushrooms are much more difficult to identify than I realized.

Yes, a Russula -- though badly injured, it's of this genus. IDing to species is tough however, so unless you have more information, this is as far as we can get.
