Yeah that looks like it. Thanks Leuba Ridgway and Christine Y.
Not sure if I am right but I think it might be bleeding milkcap (Lactarius rubrilacteus) which is supposed to bleed red latex (assuming that's what I can see in pic 2). Apparently often confused with L.deliciosus (saffron milkcap).

Have you tried posting on mushroomobserver.org? They are very helpful with getting down to species ID.
That's what I thought, but I couldn't figure out which kind though.
Looks like Lactarius, not sure which species though.
