What Are These Mushrooms?

Went running in the rain yesterday afternoon, man was it cold! (us Californios are wimps in cold weather). Storm blowing in from the south across the ocean, wind and rain pelting the hills. Chanterelles are in hiding, but I found these under pines. Cannot identify in any of my 5 mushroom books. Anyone know what they are? Sure pretty. There's just always something out there (away from the computer!) that makes me glad to be alive.

Hard to tell from just one photo, but perhaps Laccaria amethystea? Or L. bicolor? Just a rough guess.

The book "Mushrooms Demystified" is a great investment. I don't own it but wish I did. I found some just like thosea few days ago here in Florida.

Laccaria amethystea is right. The amethysts of fungi. Thanks! Had some in an omelette this morning.
