These were found under mixed trees but seemed to be closer to the live oaks. I thought at first possibly lepista but they seemed granular but not quite as granular as russula. They were slightly dry and I have not gotten a spore print.

My first thought was also "Lepista." But like you say, John, the granular flesh does not fit. Could these be a species of Lactarius? There are several with variously colored latex, ranging from the blue of L. indigo to the orange of the deliciosus/deterrimus types. Sometimes the latex is scant and is best observed by allowing your finger or a piece of white paper to come in contact with the cut flesh.

If you get a spore print, that should settle this one.

Thanks DaveW, These were found where several different species of lactarius overlap. Because of their somewhat dry state, even though they just popped up, this one may remain a mystery.
