Auckland ID, poss active?

Theres a number to ID again. Some interesting (for me) finds today  All are currently being printed, results tonight..
First group are all found in NZ forrest (Auckland) with large Radiata present throughout.
#1
 Growing from a dead branch. Silly question but the black discolouration in the second picture indicates a black spore print right?
#2 Obviously Amanita but what kind? Do I need to dig up the pod?
#3 ?
 Saw this little baby as I was strolling (head down, lol) down the path in the forrest, there were other mushrooms in the vacinity that I could ID but this one looked unusual to me, so I came in for a closer look. I wanted to see if there were any older specimens nearby not to mention I thought I could see staining/bruising of sorts. Two Fooot away..
When I got home..
 Could this be active? its some obvious bruising.... Not an active I've ever seen before so probably not (or uncommon/new? ) 10-15cm length 1.5-2cm cap diameter.
Area two: Ive havested from here before, manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and cabbage tree (Cordyline australis) canopy..
#4
 At a glance from above I thought Agaricus but then I examined and now have no idea..
#5
 15cm long stem.
#6
 Oyster? growing off an old dead cabbage tree ( Cordyline australis )
#7
 This is the same area as I got what I thought was Russula xerampelina in my last ID thread. There were many more this time so I harvested what was viable. From what I've 'google imaged' they may be a different kind of Russula, althought there is crab-like smell about them. The stem is has purple/dark magenta tones, and the cap is cream (sorry no photo.) Is it likely to be just a slight natural variation? I have about 6 of these puppies that I would like to cook and eat .. (surf and turf)
#8
 Agaricus ? Just growning in a grass field... looks like a common one? There were a few I harvested nearby that are identical.. (No yellow staining and smells good)
Especially curious about #3
Heres a photo I snapped, not interested in ID but looked cool

Any questions/things you need me to do, just ask. Have a good day

"The witch's hat is a small mushroom, with a convex to conical yellow-orange to red cap 2 to 5 cm (¾-2 inches) in diameter, though very occasionally larger specimens up to 8 or 9 cm (3½ in) diameter are found. Bruises black." Spot on thanks kactus.brand.g That black bruising is such a tease this time of year I've been following your HUGE edible haul thread, super jealous

1) Psathyrella sp.
2) Amanita muscaria
3) Hygrocybe conica
4) A pouch fungi. Cool find. Maybe a Cortinarius
5) Amanita phalloides
6) Maybe Pleurotus, need clearer pictures to be sure.
7) Russula xerampelina isn't a NZ species. Yours is another species of Russula though. I'm not sure which.
8) Agaricus sp. Probably an edible one from your description. Need more pictures of a few specimens to help narrow a species id.
The 'looked cool' mushroom is Austroboletus lacunosus

I'm fairly certain this one is some kind of pouch, without having other pictures to say it isn't. Just the shape of the body and how the stipe is attached seems to look like the ones I've come across.

4 is a sequestrate fungus of some description, probably a Cortinarius species (formerly Thaxterogaster)

#5 Is probably Amanita karea but I need to see younger specimens from the location to be certain.

Thanks for the IDs guys, especially you Inski. Always so accurate! That possible Amanita karea did have a smaller specimen 15cm from it. I didnt get a close look and only saw the top of the cap.. but it was identically coloured and had the same smooth textured pileus, no obvious ripples or 'kare'
I did go back to investigate but it got dark sooner than expected. I did find this baby, in another area of the same forrest (which I didnt want to remove)
 Amanita nigrescens? 4 Amanita varieties in a 500m radius. Cool 
Do councils use beech wood chip? They must because I'm fairly certain there are no Nothofagus growing in this area...
