Thank you Williefromwi for the ID and the link

Most likely an Amethyst Deceiver, I'd say too

auntnance, although the color is correct, the size of your mushroom gets to be only 3.5cm very small. The leaves around the mushroom lead me to believe this mushroom is bigger. Also your mushroom has an indented center. I seen none in Luis spotting. For that reason I do not believe this is an amethyst deceiver. I am not certain my id is correct however.

Not a mushroom I would ever consider picking so again not going to go out on a limb here.
