Today's finds,🍄💖🍄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What are they, are they edible?

Beautiful walk in the woods, mushrooms everywhere and then turned into a Mushroom Lasagne - wish you could smell it!

Is this chicken of the woods? Found on an oak about 3ft up from its base.

Popped out yesterday to get some Sloes for Sloe gin, and hopefully some chutney once the gin is done. 800g in the end, walked 8.5 miles and left a good number behind for the birds and animals.

I've come across this one this week. It's growing underneath a birch tree, not out of the tree but slightly off to the side on the ground.

Not 100% sure if it's a Berkeleys Polypore or a weird Hen of the woods. It's not staining black, underneath is white but peeling like a cheesestring when broken apart.

Lovely walk up in the Highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 not found as much as I had hoped, and no signs of porcini anywhere :/

Found in mixed Birch, Beech, Oak and Pine woodland.

I found this Bolete which I originally thought was a Cep, but upon closer inspection the pores were more yellow than I would expect of a porcini that size, and it did not exhibit the typical white reticulation. On cutting or bruising there is no bluing, but it does blush slightly and eventually stain a reddish brown.

Also just confirming a Leccinum scabrum ID in the last pic.

Some help with identifying these please
