Lactarius turpis (Weinm.) Fr. Image location: Larkspur, California, USA Growing under planted Birch. Caps up to 9.5 cm across and sl. tacky. Latex white staining the gills brownish. Taste was latently acrid. Spore print was creamy. Spores were ~ 7.0 X 5.9 microns. Looks to be a good ID but my spore measurements are somewhat smaller than what I found in Phillip’s book. Used references: Reliable amateur mycologists.
