Unidentified Suffolk Fungi - please help.

My wife and I spent time in Woolves Wood a mixed woodland on clay soil in Suffolk. She took these photographs
The colours in our fungi bookds bear no relationship to the fungi in real life so identification is proving impossible.
Can a fungi enthusiast please help?

Thank in abundance if you can.

hi

top one possibly Leucopaxillus giganteus

second Lycoperdon pyriforme

third past its sell-by date - possibly Rhodocollybia maculata

fourth is honey fungus Armillaria mellea group

seven is an Amanita

with eight a 'gill' shot would help but could well be Suillus grevillei

nine looks like Agrocybe rivulosa on woodchip

last is blusher Amanita rubescens

I think no 8 is Leccinum versipelle. I think I can just make out the black scabers on a white stem. It's in heathland so maybe there was birch nearby.

Melanie

yes - I'd agree with that on a closer look

Yes , I agree too, well spotted melanie, the cap overhangs a little too and its too orangey for brown birch bolete.
Cheers

Wow I am blown away but such kindness and such willingness to help.

Fantastic

Thank you all so much.

As for numbers 5 and 6 where the images too poor to assist identification?

As for number 8 I think there mya be a gill shot although I don't think it had gills. Will try and find it and post it.

Images were the best my wife could do in the circumstances but she will try to do better next time.

Thanks again,

Brian.
