Over the weekend I went on a mushroom walk with a local mycological Society. I got to see this type of fungus up close, commonly known as a Blewit. Young specimens have this purple hue and as they mature more (as you can see the stages in slide 3) loose that purple hue. This is an edible mushroom.
They love to grow in leaf litter, breaking down the leaves returning nutrients to the soil.
You can see the Blewits in Peterson Fuild Guide tk mushrooms.
