need mushroom ID please

Hello. Could I get identification for these mushrooms? Found all of them growing under oak trees.

I'm new to this, but the first I think is Agaricus.. after searching in my books and online, I eventually found 'Agaricus Bohusii' which looks similar with the scaly/shaggyish caps.

As for the bolete, I'm not sure.

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm not sure about your Agaricus. For bohusii it looks too stout. Have a look at the stipe of one of it, because bohusii should have a quite slender and definitly radicating stipe. A suggestion from my side would be Agaricus vaporarius (has a new name now which I don't remember ...)

The bolete looks interesting. Somehow I have the feeling its nothing else then Boletus reticulatus, but on the other hand it could perhaps also be an old Boletus queletii. A foto of the stipe and a cut through (a part of) the fruitbody would give additional details.

best regards,
Andreas

Agaricus vaporarius is currently Agaricus cappellianus in the British Checklist but it says considered by some authorities (e.g. Nauta, FAN5) to be a synonym of A. subperonatus.

The Bolete shows no sign of the red I would expect for queletii so I would agree with Andreas B. reticulatus
