The Amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina) a common small woodland mushroom. Edible*, although be aware that it can absorb arsenic from the soil. I don't imagine that to be too much of a problem though, or they'd not be listed as edible. When I've used them there's only be a few to add another colour and texture to a mushroom medley or risotto. As with many of the forest's mushroom communities, there are a lot of them about this year.
*Remember, don't collect anything unless you are 110% certain what you're collecting.
