Nice capture lamewborn ,this is a russula species mushroom,dificult to say the exact species,i transcribe a bit of wikipedia page about russula's so you can understand why :-) "While it is relatively easy to identify a sample mushroom as belonging to this genus, it is a significant challenge to distinguish member species of Russula. This task often requires microscopic characteristics, and subtle subjective distinctions, such as the difference between a mild to bitter and a mild to acrid flavor. Moreover the exact phylogenetic relationships of these mushrooms have yet to be resolved in the professional mycological community, and may ultimately depend on DNA sequencing analysis."(wikipedia the free inciclopedia)
