Huge Leccinum (I think). The biggest one weighed 824 grams, nearly two pounds :awesomenod:

Thanks, those seem like good guesses. It looks like it's a tougher genus to ID, especially when I'm kind of clueless as to what the tree it was growing with was. I was thinking about eating it until I saw this:

Kind of looks like Leccinum insigne. I don't really study this genus, but I believe host info is critical for an accurate ID.
