dunksterd's Identifications

I am requesting help with ID for this specimen after hitting a dead end in my Facebook ID forums, local field guides, and other resources.

Found at sea level in Mendocino county, California in a mixed conifer forest: mostly cypress and pine. It was very sturdy, had a rough, dry, orange-brown cap, creamy gills which did not appear to lactate when damaged, though that could have been due to age. The gills of older specimens had a blush color at areas of damage. The stipe was a similar but darker color than the cap and with lighter colored scaley texture. The fully developed specimens were large, approximately 7-10” in height, the cap approximately 5” diameter. Spore print unavailable. Due to the location no examples were collected for further investigation.
