I tried to identify it on Google and I can't. I don't eat mushrooms unless they come from the supermarket as you can never be certain if they are OK.

Complete liver failure and/or death.

Like bobby, i only eat the supermarket 'varieties' of mushrooms.

I think I identified it:

https://www.ediblewildfood.com/delicious-lactarius.aspx

Delicious Lactarius

Do not eat any fungi that has not been properly identified by a qualified professional, some are DEADLY when ingested. All edible wild fungi MUST be cooked.

This is a mushroom that when reaches maturation, it can be spotted easily due to its vase-shape. The delicious lactarius is also referred to as the saffron milkcap and is one of the best known members of the large milkcap genus Lactarius in the order Russulales. It is found in many locations throughout Canada, the U.S. and in Europe. It is a favorite go-to mushroom in Spain and in Siberia. It also grows in Australia, Chile and Argentina.
