Lepiota cf lilacea or something else

This small Lepiota sp. was found on moss and grassy soil in a damp site over calcareous limestone. It was not in a very good state but I could see a brown-purplish ring which alerted me on L. lilacea. On age this darkened to blackish-purple-brown.

I have some microscopic data too if required. Spores scarce, could not find them

Hi, this is pseudolilacea in my opinion

Edit: Here's a find from the last few weeks

Thank you for your opinion, I was unaware about L. pseudolilacea (does it grow in this habitat too?). I admit that it resembles it a lot, although I would love to know the major distinction between the two sister species. I see if I can find some literature on my behalf !

Hello

Very interesting Lepiota in such small cases, I would also bring following Option in the inner choice -> Lepiota pseudolilacea

In the fourth picture the color is more black, are you Show two different types?

Best regards Andy

Edit, Chris was faster 😉

Hello Andy, thank you for your suggestion too. I appreciate The fourth pic is the same specimen but not in natural light but under the stereomicroscope with badly assigned White Balance. I played a bit with the contrast too so ignore the colours in the 4th pic. Yet when i dried it, the colours darkened.
