Russula sardonia
With a flat purple pileus and continually enlarging white gills, this mushroom seems to want to turn inside out. White stipe as compared with nearby spottings http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/995... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/987... Other sites consider white stipe to be the same species, eg. http://www.english-country-garden.com/a/...
Associated with pine trees
NOT considered edible. As a beginner, I welcome any corrections.

Thanks CorduneanuVlad.
On a second, better look, Russula sp.
I would say Amanita Rubescens - old specimen
Bizarre!
