Found quite a few of these two boletes out walking in Essex today.
This is the first one, growing under oak at the edge of a hedgerow,
Can't be impolitus because it stained so blue, nearest thing I can find in Rogers is radicans
Next one in similar habitat quite reddish and stained so blue that it stained my fingers as well. Didn't come out so well in the photos, in fact photos are a bit poor
luridiformis seems the nearest from my book
any help much appreciated
