This is typical of the Tylopilus 'lilac' group of species with pink spores that white flesh and basically no staining. The robust nature of the fungus and the colour tones in the pileus and stipe are also typical of this group of species. The name Roy Halling is giving it is still nom. prov. at the moment.
