Butterfly Creek Foray (NZ)

Last week's foray to Butterfly Creek, just after a rain. This walk starts at the seashore with a climb up to a beech forest ridge that is exposed to the wind, and then a descent into more lush forest down in a valley with regenerating pukatea, kahikatea and nikau palm. Sunny and about 13 degrees C. Spent about 5 hours photographing fungi and could have spent a lot more time. Lots of fungi out!
He harore rangi tahi – a mushroom only lasts a single day 
ID help is much appreciated, and corrections to any of mine below.
1. Amanita sp. under beech. Maybe nothofagi? This was a handsome specimen near the top of the ridge, with another not far away that was more damaged and dried out.
 
2. Unknown - just a few feet from the Amanita. Is it an old bolete? Or is it actually this color?
  Habitat shot. I'm not good at NZ tree ID yet so not sure what these are :/

3. Not sure
 
4. Hygrocybe/Gliophorus

5. Laccaria sp. These were prevalent at the trailside for much of the walk. I was impressed with the wide variation in morphology, cap color, etc.

6. I would be interested to know what this one is. It had a brown cap and was growing close to Laccaria in beech forest. White spore print, possibly with a pinkish hue. Entoloma maybe?
 
7. Cortinarius sp. Maybe rotundisporus? Rusty brown spore print.

8. Unknown young mushroom. Dark greenish tinge.

9. Purple Pouch Fungus (Cortinarius porphyroideus)

10. Frail little guys

11. Fuzzy-capped, sort of violet-hued mushrooms on a stump
 
12. Same stump:
(Don't remember if this is the right underside shot of the same mushroom  
13. Unknown

14. Morepork (Ninox novaeseelandiae) - little forest owl! My first one sighted, thanks to partner having good eyes.

15. Unknown
  
16. Morganella compactum

17. Pluteus velutinornatus or perroseus - found on rotting wood. Had a velvety cap that apparently wears away in age to leave a netted pattern. Free gills. Pink spores.
 
Reaching the valley floor. Love the nikau palms and ferns.
   
Forest chaos

18. Clavaria sp? Maybe Clavaria amoena

19. Unknown

20. Unknown - vivid rusty orange spores
 
These young ones nearby might be the same, they had exactly the same color spore print:

21. Unknown coral species

22. Native shiitake on wood - Lentinellus novae-zelandiae
 
23. Unknown bracket fungus
 
Look at the tiny green bubbles at the bottom. I didn't notice those until looking at the pictures later.

23. Conchomyces bursaeformis possibly? Oyster type mushrooms
 
24. Not sure what these puffballs are
 
25. Pycnoporus coccineus

26. Ruby helmet (Mycena viscidocruenta)

27. This was actually found at the beginning of the walk in beech forest. Unsure on this one.

28. Possibly Sterum ostrea?
 
Thanks for reading/viewing

I'm really new to the shroomery but all of these are awesome! My favorites are the owl, 9 and 26.
