Vernal Pinkgill Mushroom

Found this mushroom with a pointy parasol cap on the moss covered ground under the Sitka spruce trees. There were 4 of them about 4.5 inches (11.4 centimeters) tall. I thought they are attractive and took a photo of one of them. Looking online it is most likely Entoloma vernum (common name vernal pinkgill mushroom) and it is said that they're not considered edible and are rarely seen here in the Pacific Northwest.
