WA alpine lake hike finds & ID request (PICS!!!)

Hey folks! I took a hike today 45 minutes outside Seattle to Mason and Little Kulla lakes. Found some cool mushrooms along the way. I'm curious as to whether the Boletes I found are "King Boletes" and edible. My research leads me to believe edible but I want to make sure. They are chilling in the fridge. As to the others, I'm curious what the brown Amanitas are.
Thanks!
King Bolete? Edible?

What type of Amanita? At this stage, the cap was about 3" in diameter.


Another Amanita?

Somethingorother


I don't see the black ones often...

Can't wait for the fall rains!

Well the Bolete is actually brown but in my photo (and that light) does look purple. But yeah, it's brown.
Pantherina? I've seen them before and they are usually more yellow and not as large. These were pretty big already and not even with a fully opened cap.
Augusta looks right.
Fulva doesn't seem to have enough veil remnants to apply. But what the heck do I know?!
I love the responses. Even if the guess, educated guess, or trusted ID is right/wrong, I look up the recommended species and learn.

Definitely not B. edulis
#6 May be Laccaria sp. But a pic of the gills would help confirm it.

that first one looks like a bitter bolete, or Tylopilus felleus.
white stem an brown webbing are key identifiers that i look for. I forage bolete alot here in R-kansas, and when brown/tan capped, look for a tan stem w. white webbing...
but you can break a piece of and touch to your tongue to find out whether bitter or not. But b careful, Tylopilus felleus is not poisonous, but the bitter won't wash off your tastes buds easily either.

Thanks guys.
I'd still like a "trusted identifier" to give me a definitive answer >_<

Here's another angle of the Boletes. As you can see, brown cap. Also, they were growing out of a downed tree/log.

I hit the books and I believe the bolete to be a "Boletus mirabilis". I have a book specific to the northwest which is where I found the mushroom. Not only does it look like the one I found but it's the only one I could find in the books that grows directly out of stumps/logs as opposed to on the ground like most all others.
Could it be?
