This looks Russula Emetica - The Sickener. There is an unorthodox and unrecommended way of finding this out (I don't recommend this). This mushroom is called Sickener because it makes you sick if you eat it. Most of the Russula mushrooms have a fade flowery taste, these are edible. The ones that are poisonous have a bitter taste. The Sickener also has a bitter taste.

You are welcome Kai.Lopez,very nice find,this is a russula speciesbut russulas are very hard to id,only with microscopy photos of the spores,so this one you can id him as a Red russula in common name and Russula species on scientific name
