found small red ones in dirt in shady grove at top of Mt. Wittenberg trail and larger orange ones about middle of Z-ranch trail. Small red, young one's had very slimy/wet (viscous, but not sticky) tops and when they dried out that night they more closely resembled the orange of the larger lactarius. White latex from caps and stem. Taste was a little but not very bitter. Little guys had curved in/inrolled cap margins, the big one's had plane but wavy depressed caps. Spore print was as white as the card stock. The stalks broke cleanly/easily like chalk or a russula. Caps were up to 7.5cm, stalk 4.5cm tall, 1.5cm wide. Gills were thin average to crowded, with lamellulae near margins. Adnate to decurrent. Retasted later that night and definitely a mild acrid or peppery after-taste but not too strong.
