I have found what I believe is Amethyst Deceiver (laccaria amethystina) from reading forum posts on here, Roger's mushrooms, and Wikipedia, and wanted some help on the identification:
The only things I am confused about are:
I found it on the floor of a deciduous wood in Germany, alone / not in a group.
Thank you!

- It has a hollow stem (/ a very small hole running through the centre)
- The stem is fibrous and not straight
- The gills are purple and widely spaced with smaller gills in-between
- The cap is concave where it meets the stem
- The cap is purple!
The only things I am confused about are:
- The gills only very slightly descend down the stem
- The centre of the cap is ochre-coloured, I read on Wikipedia that this is characteristic of Lilac Fibrecap (inocybe geophylla var lilacina) and lacking for the Amythest Deceiver. I believe that the Amethyst Deceiver has a tendency towards white rather than ochre?
