A very spongy like fungus. Numerous ones around an oak tree. The bottom of the stem of the fungus was red. There seemed to be some mold patches on the underside of the fungus.
First spotting with new camera!

I added a video to show how quickly and easily the fungus bruised.
Thanks herb! You can go suggest an ID if you would like!
Boletus calopus

Update: the blue markings appeared after the spongy surface was scratched.
Thanks Nancy! I'll look into that.
Definitely one of the boletes.
