Summary: Get a spore print?
You should get a spore print here. But it might be Hygrophorus, and with growth near pines in the mountains it might be H. purpurascens. But it also might other things, and might even be a Cort, if it has a brown spore print. (Lots of Corts have purple tones in them.) (Although not whitish gills…)

Summary: Probably an Hygrophorus
near H. russula, but the cap color is a little off. I’ll have to look it up when I get home tonight.
