Holy Boletes! (Possibly three king boletes, Many pictures of the great hunt)

So after a nice few days of rain, I goto into my favorite forest, it's an abandoned pine tree forest with the occasinal white birch. I find two big boletes and one medium size ones, and whole bunch of other ones. I found probably 4 different species, I even found this mushroom, it was one of the biggest I've ever seen with a 2 foot in diameter cap, the stem was thick and hard, the dog walked all over it unfortunately but it was a beauty.
Habitat: Found on the forest floor with your usual forest debris.
Gills: They are pores, and they are yellow-ish(possibly white) staining to a brown where wet, the pores are very moist still.
Stem: White, sturdy, widening as it gets towards the base.
Cap: Cinnamon red/brown with the texture of well buffed moist leather.
Spore print color: Did not take one.
Bruising: Just staining on the pores.
Location: Picked in Michigan #1

(This one was smaller, it has the same specifications as above)
#2

#2

This bolete has a longer stem compared to the cap size, the cap is more lighter brown, and the pores are way smaller and definatly yellow.
#3

And here some bonus mushrooms for you guys, I had a fun time in the woods today, these are optional to ID 
This is the Siamese boletes.

These are some really funky boletes I found, I doubt if the Siameese ones or these are edible.
5

There is really yellow pores up there
5

There amanitas are just cute 
6

It would be cool if you could ID any of these as the amanita muscarias, they were all found by the base of pine trees.
6

What threw me off is this partial veil still here.

here's that super giant mushroom I was telling you about earlier, or what's left of it, this is about 1/5th of it.

The stem was very fibrous and it was hard to break

Happy hunting everyone, it sure is great coming back with a find like me, I'm just so damn excited to find something, even if they are edible. If I do have a king bolete can anyone tell me how to prepare them, or if I should just freeze them or something and wait until I get a few more.

None of them bruise blue, and yeah I'll number them then I'm off to play games for like a half an hour or so. Maybe that mushroom has been sent from the gods, it's a prophecy.
I'll take a few more side pictures of that one, just because it's so intriguing.
Edit: I noticed blue on two of them, does his mean they're poisonous? The largest one seems to have blue but I can't see it quite yet, I'll have to wait until the morning.

Blue bruising does not necessarily mean that they're poisonous. When combined with orange to red pores it is a warning flag.
Which numbers bruise blue???
So far here's what I think. Note that I'm not a TI.
1: Boletus edulus 2: Boletus edulus 3: Boletus edulus var grandedulis 4: Boletus sp. (Need better shot of the stem) 5: Boletus sp. (Giving me fits. Can't find this anywhere.) (you have two #6 mushrooms) 6(a): (two little ones): Amanita sp. 6(b): (tall yellow): Amanita frostiana or A. flavorubescens 7: non-Boletus sp. well, it wasn't a bolete because it had gills. Difficult to determine more without a better view of the base, stem, etc.

1 & 2 Leccinum "aurantiacum" group; to have any chance of identifying it to species I would need tree associates (anything within root distance) staining reaction of flesh, cut it in half ans rough it up with the knife and observe any staining, (it can be slow, over an hour in some)
3 is in the Boletus eduils complex, most likely Boletus nobilissimus. Was it growing under oak?
4 & 5 Need better pictures
6a (first pic)Amanita rubescens
6b (next three pictures) look to be Amanita musraria var. formosa (or whatever you want to call it now days) BUT by no means eat it based on this id. The mushroom is to beat up and the pictures don't give much detail to identify with much confidence.
7 need more info.

Okay I did see bruising in 1 and 2, so to test it I cut off the very bottom with the mycelium and dirt, and I cut a small pie peice out of the head, no orange or red spore print, and there wasn't any further bruising on them either.
I was hunting at night and I wasn't really paying attention to the trees that they were growing by, just glancing at them (stupid me).

Some comments on your ID's: #1: I agree that #1 is a Leccinum; those look like scabers to me #2: Those don't look like scabers to me they look like reticulations, so I'm staying with B. Edulis. #3: We agree on Boletus edulis, just minor disagreement on the variation #6b: In the absence of stacked ring formations at the base I don't think that it's an A. muscaria

I was eating boletes like these a few weeks ago, and have to say the first two are for sure Leccinum, and the third B. edulis. eat them....... I tend to eat the Leccinum raw, and preferably when buttons.
