Hi there,
I believe this is a bolleta, can anyone confirm exact variety? is about 3 inches high, lots of them growing under my apple trees.    |

total guess,, Leccinum scabrum / Birch Bolete... although the stipe (stem) looks quite dark and there would need to be a Birch tree or the remains of one somewhere near the site.
If possible please take the photo in context, on the floor. Also slicing one of the fruits open will reveal any discolouration which can also be used to help identify the species / variety.

| Perhaps they were growing on the ceiling JAJ ?
Definitely a Leccinum, but I wouldn't like to say which.

As Leccinum doesn't seem to have any species that are mychorrizal with apple trees, is there a tree nearby from this list?
Birch, oak, hazel, hornbeam, poplar, pine, spruce, willow, horse chestnut, beech, lime.

Sorry the photos are rather rubbish, I couldn't find my camera so took them with the webcam on computer!
There many apple trees, two plums AND a silver birch in my front garden, so Leccinum seems likely.
Thank you, back soon with better pictures (loads of other types out there) |

The presence of a Birch indicates these bolete fruits may be Leccinum scabrum.
Get an extension cord and take your webcam outside so we can see (joke)
