| | | Fairly small white fungus - violacious cap - help please ..
Growing on sandy soil under willow. Largest cap 10-12mm across and about 25-30mm tall, no distinctive smell. looking at the stipe I think the spores are ochre in colour. 
Thanks, JohnB |

If they were Cortinarius alboviolaceus, which was what sprung to my mind upon seeing the pearly-white and the rusty gills, I'd have expected them to be much larger. I'm stumped! |

I would agree with Cortinarius, but I do not think it is likely to be able to ID to species from a photograph, there are so many that look so similar!
