Found this morning buried completely under Quercus agrifolia duff (detected by a shrump) - It seemed like a Russula. The way it stained vinaceous brown with handling reminded me of Lactarius argillaceifolius, but there was no latex (and it was very fresh & moist) and no zonation on the cap. Over time the discoloration deepened (images in chronological order). The odor and taste was mild. The texture was very firm and dense. It seemed heavy for its size.
