Can anybody help with identifing some fungi that I found this morning

P1010001.jpg


I think that tehse areCharcoal burners (Russula Cyanoxantha). but they had a distinct reddish
cast to the colouring and some of them were quite white/yellow

P1010008.jpg


are they likely to be yellow swamp russula or just an immature version. They were all seen within a few neters of each other

also can anybody tell me what these are

The bottom two pics (same fungus I presume) are Boletus something. Probably B. porosporus. :)

What does the Russula smell like?

Ahhh Errrmmm dunno - never thought to sniff them - sorry

Yes it may be B. porosporus - my book says edible but not great - have you ever tried it

I have tried the Bolete and though not a gastronomic firework I thought it was alright. Quite plain.I also used it with others in a mushroom pudding once and that turned out really nice! :p

Naturally it's your descision to eat or not etc.
