I found it in Hungary.
Habitat: Damp, humussy soil, in mixed broadleaved forest (Carpinus betulus, Acer campestre, Fagus sylvatica)
Cap: 2-3 cm in diameter
Odour: none (wery slightly farinaceous)
Cheilocystidia: not observed
Spores: heterodiametric, 8-11 x 5-8 micrometer
Pileipellis: vacuolar pigmentation in the clampless hyphal end cells, not incrusted.
(E. dichroum, E. allochroum?)
See the 3 photos of the sporocarps, the spores and the pileipellis.
Thank for any help.
Probably it is belong to the Entoloma tjallingiorum/E. lampropus clade... Please check the following article:

Dear Attila,
As for me, your specimen looks like E. allochroum, but as a rule, this species has cystidia (not very pronounced, by the way). Viktor recommended a good paper, and my advice will be to apply to one of the authors, Olga Morozova, via RG https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Olga_Morozova, or e-mail [email protected]. E-mail may be a better way because Olga doesn`t spend a lot of time at RG.
With best wishes,
Elena
Entoloma allochroum could well be possible macroscopically. But, this species (like tjallingiorum and others) has clamps at least at basidia. The first important Thing is to check whether clamps are present at basidia. Then we can see further.

The only authority in the world who knows Entolomas is Machiel Noordeloos. You have to consult him, otherwise identifications are pure guesses.
Yes. The best suggestion is to ask Olga Morozova : [email protected]

"The only authority in the world who knows Entolomas is Machiel Noordeloos. You have to consult him, otherwise identifications are pure guesses."
... poooh! What an arrogant sentence. I do not at all believe it.
Dear Attila,
in my opinion (assuming the presence of clamps) violaceous colours both in the pileus and, especially, in the stipe, more longitudinally fibrillose than squamulose stipe, lamellae with irregular concolorous edges, basidiospores with rather pronounced angles, 8-12 µm in length, suggest rather E. allochroum than E. dichroum (or E. tjallingiorum). However, as mentioned above, contacting Machiel Noordeloos or Olga Morozova is advisable.
P.S. Below you can find the illustration of spores of E. allochroum from specimen collected in Poland (the identity of the collection was confirmed by ITS data). Maybe you will find these data helpful.
Best regards
Marek
Dear Attila,
Next week I will attend on an Entoloma meeting/workshop in Norway and I will spend one week with many experts, such as Machiel and Olga. If you do not mind I would like to show them your pictures of your species. Please dry the specimen for further DNA analysis.
Best,
Bálint
Provided that I am not a specialist in Entoloma, I think that certainly we are in Key C of Entoloma (Funga Nordica) and in particular in point 11.
Then today we give less importance to some macroscopic characteristics such as color of the gills and variations, the form of spores (6-8 or 6-9 corners), smell at the harvest, taste.
I don't see white or whitish in the gills in Your photos, but I see a dirty cream and read no significant odor (or just mealy).
With reserves on identification of Bálint Dima who rightly takes us to the DNA (I recommend T ° very low drying, 40 ° - 45 ° C, with ventilation) I think we are very close to E.allochroum of Noordeloos.
Entoloma sp, is necesary see colors in the gills and basidiospores discription.Maybe you will find the species by ITS data.
I suggest you to check in: 2014, O.V. Morozova, M.E. Noordeloos & J. Vila: Entoloma subgenus Leptonia in boreal-temperate Eurasia: towards a phylogenetic species concept. Persoonia 32: 141-169. This paper is available in the web.

It reminds me macroscopically E.allochroum that i remember from the publication that G.Simonini suggested.
