Your first 2 Ron look like a lovely looking couple of juicy Ceps!! Boletus edulis
I would say that your 4th pic is a Tawny Grisette (Amanita fulva) quite possibly.

Can you recommend a decent pocket sized Fungi Guide Stewy. I am very, very wary about eating wild fungi.

To be honest I'm not too sure on the best pocket field guide, I've got a little Collins Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain & Europe book that I keep in my rucksack but I'm sure someone else far more experienced than me will have better advice!

Nobody going for No3 then ?
This is almost certainly going to be Russula emetica, the Sickener.
Don't try eating this one - it's very hot.

Neil. | And you forgot the other symptom of copious vomiting Neil - hence the quite reasonable and old name 'The Sickener' - one English name I don't object to since it's useful, conveys something about the fungus, and has been used for donkeys years !
But I expect some simpleton will come along very soon and give it one of the comittee made 'really useful' English Names - something like 'The Bright Scarlet, Found In Pine Woods, Very Hot, Makes You Vomit Brittle Gill' !!
