Hey guys, new comer here and finally went out for a hike today in the blue mountains and came across a couple of these. Both I think are not active (would love it if they were..) but just here to confirm. I tried to take some decent photos since I am largely colour blind, I see colours but hard to distinguish between say.. purple and blue, shades of green/red.. which can be problematic.. Anyways, are these active and what species are they?
1. Found most common, a few couple shots of a few different spots but they are identical, all the same







Habitat: Blue mountains NSW national park
Spore print color: doing it now
Bruising: does bruise, not blue but like sappy?
Other information: does not smell bad or anything
2. Near the end of the hike, I found a couple of these.


They were mostly covered by moss (or rock carpet) the cap is blue/purple/even blackish head, white stem. Kind of bruises reddish/pink

#1 looks like a Gymnopilus sp. #2 Russula mariae?
Wait for more opinions

With each containing one of the following: Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk? Didn't think so. This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

Seems like there are a few different species under #1.
OP, do you have a gill/stem shot of the one in the third picture from the top?

They definitely look like Gymnoilus sp. and fit the bill of where I found them and how they look etc (from the searches I have done since it was suggested it might be it), only trouble is knowing exactly what species and whether its active or not..
here is a few pics that i've snapped up today after (unsuccessfully) trying to spore print them.. I think I just lost too many on my first time out bumping them too much.
Can people confirm a) if any are active and b) if any are poisonous. I genuinely want to further my knowledge for next time, I do not intend on eating any of these since I do not feel comfortable with it all yet and have no intention of ingesting anything that I am not certain of.
Cheers guys and apologies for my noobness! appreciate it!
