David & Tony,

As you say, on Abies, so it's not an ectomycorrhizal bolete, but the saprotrophic Pulveroboletus (= Buchwaldoboletus) lignicola, living on/of degraded dead wood of coniferous trees.

 

Gerrit, is there a bolete specific book worth having the genus is massiv e and I would love to own a specialist book on these, got ryvardens but its all text and i do love an image!

David,

No, with colour depictions of all species, only one on the genus Boletus and one on the genus Leccinum (I cited before), both by Krieglsteiner, et al. For images of the Wood bolete, see : Rogers mushrooms, Wood-bolete and Pulveroboletus lignicola.

don't tell me give me a clue:biggrin:

[Fungus]

Unknown Boletus sp

 

With oak and/or beech (or spruce) and with red pores ? If so : Boletus erythropus ?

[RobArb]

forgot to mention, first set where found under a birch in an area of predominently birch with one or two prunus and crataegus

 

second set where under a prunus with only two prunus anywhere near the area

 

are they too also Russula?

[Fungus]

1. first set are (i think) a Russula sp.

2. second set ive no idea

 

Rob,

1. Correct, with Betula ? If so, it could be one of a few pinkish Russula's (also) associated with birch such as R. betulina, R. nitida or R. vesca.

2. A mushroom weeping tears that stain its gills, which has changed both its genus and species name twice.

Not sure of either of these, found whilst out around the campsite I'm at.

 

Any guesses?
