Most likely with pin oak. But could be with beech or poplar. Was not aware that rhizopogon species changed color with bruising.
When I picked it up, was white color. However when rolling it around in my hand for a few minutes while looking for other fungi, it clearly changed color. The color change was rapid post cutting.
Given the common name of Blushing False Truffle for
Rhizopogon roseolus I would suggest this. However these are associated with conifers and non were present.

Three fruit bodies that were among hebeloma / cortinarious / paxillus species.
Unsure of ID, was expecting cortinarius but gills seemed to be light tones and not changing to chestnut brown when mature.
Given the surface roughness and lighter gill color, I'd suggest inocybe. Not visually similar to any of the known exotic inocybe species in NZ.

Stunning red cap surface, yellow flesh, red on outside of stem. Bruising blue, with pin oak. Multiple fruit bodies, but most were either attacked by bolete mold, or damaged by mower when small.

Multiple small rollrims and a large palm sized one as well. All under pin oaks. "P. ammoniavirescens favours oaks," and "P. ammoniavirescens is easily distinguished by the green reaction of the cap to ammonia"

Very large numbers under pin oaks. It occurs here every year in large numbers almost like a carpet in the grass.
Wikipedia states it is edible, hadn't crossed my mind that a species like this would be.

Large number under pin oaks.
Cap was either consistent chocolate brown or had lighter tone especially around edge which was almost orange. These lighter toned fungi had lines on the cap edge. Cap didn't seem to be color changing with moisture. Not viscid.
Gills started whitish, before turning the chestnut brown color.
Stem was white, and no obvious cortina presence.
No obvious visual match to any of the known exotic cort's in NZ.

Fruiting in deep celery tree duff, close / under a totora and in manuka / kanuka regrowth.
Cap always had a bump in the middle. When cut was a dark line between the cap and the gills.
Gills tan colored, from light tan when younger to a deeper tan when older.
Stem tough / fibrous / solid
Fungal aroma
Somewhat visually similar to https://inaturalist.nz/observations/169723822 which is a tricholoma. Interesting that AI suggested this as first pick.

Fruiting in deep celery tree duff, close / under a totora and in manuka / kanuka regrowth.
Cap striated on edge, changed color with moisture. Was not symmetrical / odd shaped. This was not just because it was pushing up through the duff.
Cap and fruit body had slight waxy feel.
Gills decurrent and stem hollow.
Peppery aroma.

Single, fruiting under manuka / kanuka and regrowth.
Decurrent gills where uniform off white and I don't think it was the same color as say russula gills go with age. This is more a deeper brown, whereas these gills were almost orange. So don't think the color is the gills going 'off'.
Cap splitting, surface had tiny bumps on it.
Stem had tiny white fuzz on surface.

Multiple fruit bodies within a few square meters under beech and tawa. Is a great example of fully exploring the general area where fungi are fruiting before taking photos. Would have been a lot easier!
Cap viscid and with green and yellow tones
Stem had blue tones was 'dry', an enlargement at base, but not a bulb as such
Gill color when young was light yellow-green-orange
Can't seem to key out to anything.

Although cap was close to the litter / moss the stem / root went further than I could excavate with the knife. Four fruit bodies fruiting under beech and tawa.

With pinus radiata, although lots of head high young manuka / kanuka about. On edge of 4x4 track next to pine plantation.
Ring was pointing upward.
Was also similar looking fruit bodies elsewhere on the track, were mature and had rings. No photos taken.
From other obs these are S salmonicolor

With pinus radiata, although lots of head high young manuka / kanuka about. On edge of 4x4 track next to pine plantation.
Struck by how small many of the fruit bodies were. I've not seen this large number of coin sized fruiting bodies with suillus before.
Stems were smooth and lacked ganulations. Also no rings were present. Ringed suillus were fruiting in the area.
Looking at other photos of suillus in NZ this will be Suillus bovinus, which I don't think I've seen when young.

Thought it was a dumped rug with tassles on the end given the fruit bodies size.

Young / immature single frb with manuka / kanuka. Viscid cap and water droplets on stem and pores. What is intriguing about that is the weather has been sunny and dry for approx a week. We have had heavy dew, but the forest floor would be described as dry. So the fungi must be actively making the cap surface viscid.
