Really? You got a link for that? I know they're edible but I have never heard anyone say they were worth picking.

I haven't tried this species of Laccaria, but Laccaria bicolor group/Laccaria trichodermophora tastes excellent! Very sweet tasting flavor.

ommon name: Purple Laccaria
Latin: Laccaria Ochropurpurea
I ran into these two years ago and haven’t seen a ton since. There was so many I filled my sweatshirt with them and a backpack. I brought them home, looked them up, easily identified them and then ate a few. These are good, but you cannot eat the stem, it is too tough like a shiitake, best to use the stems for mushroom stock.
Where to Find
I find these growing in the woods with oaks in the fall when chickens and hens are fruiting, Ive seen them in other spots around oaks as well. Sometimes a couple, sometimes one or two, but they are easy to instantly identify with their whitish-cream cap and dark purple to light purple gills and hard stem. Sometimes there are very many.
How to Cook
Unfortunately, these will lose their purple color no matter what when you cook them. . You could treat these just like any mushrooms from the store, with the exception of eating their stem, as it is rather hard and tough. They have a pleasant mushroomy flavor, but are not anything crazy. Fine to add to a soup or stew, or casserole or a mix of other fall mushrooms. They are a delight to find, as is anything so colorful during the witching hour between fall colors and the onset of snow. How to preserve
They are great candidates for slicing thinly and drying. They can also be pickled, or sauteed and frozen.
