I'm leaning towards Lilac Blewit (Lepista sublilacina), simply because of the shape of the cap, colour, and stem which has that grainy appearance. Pics and notes - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/310... But the loose gills make me second-guess. Another consideration is an ID Mark made for this same spotting - Mauve Waxy Gills (Hygrocybe lewellinae) https://lesjh.files.wordpress.com/2012/0... but the stem confuses me here. Both good places to start your research. I observed my spotting over several days, hence the series of 3 spottings. A one-off spotting can make things so much harder. It took me almost 2 years to positively ID my spotting.
