I did a search on rogersmushrooms for purple fungi in North America that grow on wood and this was one of the suggestions: http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6883~source~gallerychooserresult.asp (Tricholomopsis rutilans aka Plums and Custard)

I think russulae are mycorhizal not saprophytic.
