I don't know what those purple things are but they are nothing to do with the fungus. They look floral, probably blown there or just fallen from a plant above. The spores will be like dust and fall from the gills underneath.

Thanks Harold but they are spores(?) from the mushroom. Honest! I may not have called what is correctly but believe me the "whatever" was attached to the cap of the mushroom/fungi. PLease don't feel I am implying you are wrong or I am right. No way! I did sit there and saw nothing around that had the purplish whatever near.
YES I could be way off track in my description. If I am sorry for leading everyone astray if so.
I tried to remove one from the mushroom cap but it was "locked" in place". Also I sat there for about an hour awaiting 1 to fall off the cap but never did. There was no plant life near the fertilizing pens..just cow crap!
I tried to find out what the type of mushroom /fungi it was to identify it better but no luck.
I have 1 other image of this exact mushroom in its last stages of growth and the "spores" are attached directly to the "cap".
Thanks!
