Blood under nail.: Purplish to black discoloration under toe nails with no history of injury, is due to shoe pressure on the nails. It will grow off in several months. Buy longer shoes and/or with higher toe boxes.

( your toe joint bending more due to less motion at the joint before it). Fungus would be in the differential diagnosis or even bacteria.
