Given that it's amongst pine needles, I'd guess this is a species of Suillus (one of the bolete genera). There are a few introduced species of Suillus that you find associated with non-native trees.

Heino given the association of this genus with pines are they also an introduced genus or are they natives that are adapted to growing amongst pines needles?

Michael, the evidence thus far says that Suillus is an introduced genus.
