LOL... No, not a legend... merely terribly obsessed.
Well, my own take on it is that it certainly fits everything except for specifically linking itself to... but I nonetheless agree that it's as close as "The Colour Out of Space"....
Incidentally, James Wade wrote a piece titled "The Silence of Erika Zann", which was published in Edward P. Berglund's anthology,
The Disciples of Cthulhu, of which there has been a second, revised edition.
OFF THE SHELF : The Disciples of Cthulhu - Second Revised Edition : Legends Magazine, Issue 100
(Wade published a small handful of Mythos tales, such as "The Deep Ones" in the original edition of
Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos -- a tale I've always found oddly appealing, despite its flaws....)

For that matter, there are other tales by HPL that could be considered as part of the Mythos, at least by stretching it a bit: "The Crawling Chaos" (written with "Elizabeth Neville Berkeley" -- a.k.a. Winifred Virginia Jackson) could almost be seen as an alternate, dream-version of "Nyarlathotep" in theme, as well as a manifestation of that particular entity; while "The Green Meadow" (also written with Jackson) mentions the land of Stethelos, later mentioned as one of the lands visited by Iranon in "The Quest of Iranon", so perhaps part of the Mythos' milieu by association....
