Several days ago I found this unusual mushroom beside the birding trail here on our property. I know very little about mushrooms, but from what I found on the internet it may be the species Cortinarius violaceous a species that is supposedly not uncommon in the Eastern U.S., but it is the first time we have ever found one here.
