I am sorry, I didn’t break the cap to see if it “blead”, however, I did squeeze the stipe which was not crunchy. It seemed as though there were stringy filaments in the stipe. It was also somewhat hollow.

besides the fact that it must be a slow day if I’m spending all this time on this mushroom…
It looks to gray for L. gentianeus. The cap does look like Lactarius argillaceifolius var. megacarpus but the stipe looks wrong and the duff binding to the base also suggest Clitocybe/Leucopax. etc.

After I posted, but it didn’t seem large or solid enough.

Not to say that it still couldn’t be.

I was thinking this could also be Leucopaxillus gentianeus, that was my first thought. Also it kinda looks like a Lactarius maybe… I can’t see enough detail in the photos, C. nebularis could also fit. I saw plenty of those out there last month.
