Hi all
I think this is a Lactarius sp. I don't think they are L deliciosus. Possibly L. semisanguifluus?
Habitat was pine plantation, moss, some grass and needle litter.
Sorry about the out of focus.

thanks
Jon

So was this found near Richmond North Yorkshire, or Richmond Surrey?

Thanks Andreas, but what did you base the ID on? What unique feature or difference?

thanks

I think the colour the milk turns to is an obvious difference. Also the stem, but yours has been cut off rather short ... But I'd be interested in what Andreas says on this.

Here is a link to L semisanguifluus, showing vinaceous red milk.

Lactarius semisanguifluus

This was found from the following website - you maybe know it already, but if not it is great for comparing photos, and the ids seem to be a pretty reliably accurate.
