Photo 1 - Green Elfcup - Chlorociboria aeruginascens.

Photos 2,3 & 4 (I'm not that good with boletes so only a tentative suggestion), but I think all of thse are the same, and that they are one of the Xerocumus species. - Possibly Xerocomus ferrugineus.

Photo 5 -Has a cap the colour of Brown Birch Bolete - Leccinum scabrum, but the black stipe stipe scales, being concentrated more towards the stipe apex, have the look of those to be found on Orange Birch Bolete - Leccinum versipelle.

Regards,
Mike.

hi pdn,
1st is green elfcup - Chlorosplenium aeruginascens, good find, interesting fungus used for stained woodworking by craftsmen.
I'll leave the boletes to my betters!
Cheers
Ken
edit - that'll be the latest name from Mike..........!

Hey pdnash

I think I can see a slight pale blue ting to the pores so I'm going to say Boletus Badius for pictures 2, 3 and 4.

Thanks for comments.

I was hoping picture two and three were Boletus aereus.

Will check back to see what picture 5 develops into when mature.

Cheers,

Paul
