I uploaded a picture of Lactarius indigo, one of the safest mushrooms to eat because it pretty much doesn't look like any other type of mushroom. (The trade-off for this certainty is that it is pretty bland tasting.) It is very difficult for a human to misidentify it. The results are below:
I think it's: Laccaria amethystina
Or perhaps Russula cyanoxantha , Lactarius indigo , cortinarius iodes , or Cortinarius alboviolaceus
So, the right ID is in the list, but it's not the #1 guess. This could be useful for trained mushroom hunters who just want to narrow down the possibilities to check up on. I definitely would not trust an amateur with it though!
