I'll just take your word for it.
Oh, and this is not a poisonous mushroom and you can taste the sap - not recommended but you can try. And if you feel like 100000000 needles are stinging your mouth and burn it at the same time, then that's the mushroom.
I used to play this trick on my friends as a kid - it's not dangerous, not more dangerous than playing with chilly. :)
Looks also like Lactarius piperatus - you can check this if you break a bit of the mushroom then a milky white sap will come out.
this one looks like Russula briveps
