Gliophorus lilacinoides
The Light
Description:
As has been mentioned their seems to be a number of different specie that key out under the name G, lilacinoides of which this is one. Those buried under leaf litter were green while others exposed to the light are pink. For me that's a good indication that they are reacting to the light (UV). Although it does not also rule out that the decaying leaf litter is giving off chemicals that could be causing the colour difference.
