    1. Thank you. Yes I agree with you.
      I had already seen them, but I hesitated.

      1. I'm reasonably sure about the species, similar example:

        In the world of fungi, it's hard to be sure though.

"Laccaria amethystina", commonly known as the Amethyst Deceiver is a small brightly colored, edible mushroom, that grows in deciduous as well as coniferous forests. Because its bright amethyst coloration fades with age and weathering, it becomes difficult to identify, hence the common name ‘Deceiver’.
