Similar species
This species is similar to L. amethystina but differs by occurring than hard wood forest and in Eastern North America, rather than conifers forest; having a smaller sporocarp; and being a lighter purple color. L. bicolor is smaller and less purplish; L. laccata has whitish mycelium at its base. Cortinarius violaceus is darker and has a less fibrillose stipe.
