Do your books mention the gills of Slippery Jack
This is Lepista nuda the Wood Blewit.

Hi Ray,

With the distinct lilac tones, I'd say this is likely to be Wood Blewit - Lepista nuda, although Lepista sordida is also a possibility.

Wood Blewits are certainly still about at the moment, although generally past their best by now.

Slippery Jack - Suillus luteus, is a bolete, (with pores), and would have a very distinct ring on the stem.

Regards,
Mike.
