Xerocomellus dryophilus
Riparian woodland, predominately Oak.
Blue bruising occurs almost instantly where damaged.
Another from Australia - Atherton Tablelands, Nth QLD... they are growing scattered in my front lawn after a few days of summer rain (there is an nature reserve consisting mainly of eucalypts about 30 metres away)
Very nice indeed. In Australia we have an almost identical looking one (not properly described yet?) which appears only under eucalyptus... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/214...
