Nick both of the species you suggest don't look like this. The top (I don't know how it is called) is curved towards the inside of the mushroom. It is also very short 4-5 cm. The purplish color in this picture is more ambient light than the mushroom itself. More info: I found them in Mediterranean area (Hellas) after a soft winter, not in a high altitude.

IT MAY BE A "LACTARIUS FULIGINOSUS" OR EVEN A "RUSSULA ALBONIGRA". NICK

With the wiki search I did I found that lytocibe nuda has more purplish color. This is more brownish. Hope it help.
