The 1st image I think is Rooting Bolete - Boletus radicans.
Found on grassy woodchip mulch with Oaks nearby, yellow on stipe, bruised a bluey colour underneath cap.

This looks to me like Plums and Custard - Tricholomopsis rutilans.
Also found on woodchippings, ther were 10 to 20 growing together.

thanks for any help, Nick

Hi Nick,

I'm unsure of the top, I'm a bit out of touch with Boletes at the mo

I know that the second isn't T. rutilans but I'm not sure what it may be.

You can see the remains of a ring on the stem, which rules out Tricholomopsis rutilans, as Nick rightly says.

The last I heard, these finds were being referred to Gymnopilus dilepis. Can't check the Basidiomycota Checklist to be certain because it's down at the moment.

Yep. Gymnopilus dilepis. A non-native therfore alien species.
