Where in the world are you? Dd you take a spore print?.... What color was it? There are a few active species that grow in pine forests but we need more info to make a educated guess.
I am in the South Island of New Zealand , the less hot end of the country, and no I didn't take a spore print unfortunately, it just bruised purple, Right you are sir they can be found in pine forests it is just easier said then done for a newbie like me to recognise the goodies from the look alikes haha, going for another look see today will hopefully yield some more results Thank you for your reply dude much love
