Not my region but Purpleish spores means it’s likely Psathyrellaceae. That pleated sausage-shaped cap is typically associated with the inky caps.
It looks like it might be Coprinellus Micaceus (Mica Cap) which is very widely distributed and is said to feature “glistening mica-like particles on the cap” which yours appears to have.
Like I said, not my region so I don’t know of any potential lookalikes, we have C. Micaceus in my region (North American Pacific Northwest) but I’ve never examined one in person so I can’t be too confident.
