This wonderful fungus Laccaria amethystina lives in both deciduous and coniferous forests.
It is edible but it can absorb arsenic from the soil apparently so I am not sure how you would tell which ones are safe to eat or not.
There were several spread across the forest floor, they are quite small and despite the bold colour they were not immediately obvious, at least not to me. I really like the way they fold upwards and turn inside out.
