Yeah, I heard death cap is tasty. A pity that it kills you.

More likely neither.

It's probably a Cortinarius sp. and probably poison. There's an edible purple cort but I think it's usually a lot darker purple.

Might also be an Inocybe sp. which would also be poison.

There are a few deadly Corts but those tend to be reddish instead of purple. Corts are very under-studied in general so there are are many with absolutely zero info about them (usually because they're nearly identical to several others) and the deadly ones have a delay before they destroy your kidneys so it's generally not a good idea to even try.

Inocybe are generally "days of your body attempting to purge out of every orifice" poisonous which usually won't kill you unless you become too dehydrated.
