I believe this is Rosy Bonnet (Mycena rosea), very closed related to Mycena Pura, and in fact they may well be one and the same species.
I spotted this beautful pair in the local wood this morning as I went on my first mushroom hunt of the season. Muddy knees indeed!

Nice lovely ‘shroom, Pete. I’ve not found any pinks but a purple one that resembles this when more pale.

These wonderful mushrooms are a first for me also! I’ll bet they would be good for dyeing – if only a person found a LOT of them and could sacrifice a few to the dyepot.
