This guy was by himself. I didn't see others around that looked similar. What caught my attention was some other shrooms nearby that reminded me of cyanescens or something with a wavy cap, but the ones I saw are chocolate brown. So anyway I happened to grab this one for the helluva it and try to identify it later. Location: Central Japan Elevation is about 80 meters (262ft)
Habitat: Deciduous forest with a floor covered by leaves. Found right to a stream, sort of in the stream. Growing from mud/silt/sand/organic matter
Weather: We just had a typhoon that dumped 96mm (3.78") of rain. previous to that it was pretty much dry for this month
Gills: greyish. When I first saw it I noticed a slight purple around the edge of the cap. The pic with the closeup of the gills...my camera of the light really made it look more purple than I can see with my eyes.
Stem: thin and whitish. Shiny on the surface.
Cap: convex
Spore print color: Brown?
Bruising: Seems too bruise a darker color
Thanks again guys!

So you cut the mushroom and then glued it back together and that's when it started "bruising"? But I don't think that's what happened. It looks like it was purplish colored and then it turned brown, right?

It's not bruising but the mushrooms original colour. It looks like a purple Cortinarius like Baltimark suggested

It was brownish/grey from the start. Just after I came home it seemed to get darker. That was before I cut it. I think I'm too anxious to find something active lol Thanks guys. Everyone is so quick to respond on this forum.

And a nice clue is brown remnants on the cap margin and forming a ring on the stem.
