Looks like a mold on this cantharellus formosus. Purplish-brown, got a little mushed under my finger. edit - updated ID. I can't swear this isn't a slime mold.

Singleton growing out of moss and duff at forest edge along road verge. Under Pseudotsuga with Abies, Thuja, and Tsuga nearby, but not Pinus. Cap 65 mm. Stem 85 mm tall by 18 mm at base tapering to 14 mm. Stem brittle. No particular smell. But instead potent chili pepper taste, delayed for a couple seconds after first bite. Skin of cap peels at the edge for about 1 cm. Note tall, slender stem.

Cluster of 18 mushrooms growing out of old alder? log in lakeside scrub and conifer forest. No distinctive smell. Cap 28 mm across the base. Stem 50 tall by 3 mm wide. Note dark stems, and cap with scalloped margin. I could not get any red latex from the stems of two mushrooms, so I think it is some other species. To me, it looks more like M purpureofusca but lacks the purple margins to the gills.
