[ID Requests] NSW Pine fores

Hi there!
Today I took advantage of my trip back from Canberra and had a bit of a squiz for P. Subs in a state forest south-west of Sydney!
Also I wanted to thank all the community especially the TIs for all the hard work they do for us, asking nothing in return 
I'm a total noob, but given what I have read the conditions were good (rain over the week, cold but not freezing over night, pine forest with grassy areas) so I set forth looking shrooms with blue staining, white thick stems, and gold->brown caps. Heres what I uncovered:
(NOTE: Pictures link to much bigger/clearer versions )
Species 1:


 

These guys were EVERYWHERE.
CAPS: Seemed to have a golden cap but many of them were wet/had some weird slime on them & thus had blue shit on them. About 2-12 CM wide
STEM: stained VERY blue very fast. Thick and rigid but slightly hollow. White to off-white. Some of them are slightly purple, may be another species- or is it spores?
SPORES: some appeared orangey-brown, some appeared purple ish. Doing a print for each and every one
HABITAT: found growing in natural plant litter (pine needles, bits of wood) on white myc
Other species: I found a bunch of others which kinda looked like subs, the one pictured in habitat was particularly interesting (bottom left first indoor pic). While I'm not looking for particular IDs for all the loosely-grouped species, I would be interesting if any of them seem similar to subs: Group 1
 

Group 2

Looks mostly like Cortinarius sp., likely C. rotundisporus or close. The blue is inherent and not a bruising reaction.

Ah ok, thank you. I'll have a look at the spore prints for the brown ones and see if anything looks good

They all look like Cortinarius sp., the prints should be rusty/cinnamon brown.

it because their colouring does change with time. so as they get older they go browner, so they become easier to confuse.
