Xanthoconium purpureum
The caps of this species are usually more reddish, but can be primarily tan/pink, as this one is. The pores were cream-colored, very spongy, and the tubes were deep. The stipe was pale at apex, but colored like the cap below with white basal mycelium. Neither the pores or flesh bruised.
Habitat: It was growing on the ground in a swampy, mixed forest.
