Another Bolete

I found a trove of boletes which appear to be the same species as the ones in this thread (they were also found in the same spot, perhaps part of the same mycellium?) Unlike those, however, these were not soggy. I picked one of them and made a spore print.
Scent: Typical mushroom scent, rather faint. Taste: Fairly bland, in between that of a typical table mushroom and egg whites. Not bitter. Pores: Beige/tan with darker areas. Cap: Brown, 64 millimeters across, cracked appearance. Height: 50 millimeters. Stem: 13 millimeters thick, pale beige/tan. Habitat: Growing in dirt on a playground among several others. Green and red Russula were nearby. Location: Near Columbia, South Carolina. Staining: None, flesh was white and did not change upon being broken. Spore Print: Brown.




*Take note the flash of the camera gave all of the pictures (except for the second one, where the flash did not go off) a more yellowish color than in reality. Unfortunately, I don't know how to turn off the flash of my camera. I plan on going back and taking more pictures of the bunch of them as they appear in the ground, if that will aid in identification.
According to what I've learned, if a bolete does not stain blue, does not have red or orange pores and is not bitter, then it's safe to eat, right? Would this then be a safe species to eat, whatever it is?

I've got some pictures of the boletes as they are in nature. I wish I had taken them yesterday when they were in better shape:



On another note, I did find what I think are chanterelles. Can someone confirm? I found them growing beside a road so I'm reluctant to eat them:

The chants are chants.

Nice. Good to know that they grow in my area at least.
Guess we don't have many bolete experts around here?

I found a cluster of what I think are a member of the Armillaria genus. The mushrooms did not have rings on the stipe, so my current best guess is Armillaria tabescens:



-Cap is 38 millimeters across and has gills. -Height is 51 millimeters. -Stipe thickness is 3 millimeters. -Stipe is hollow and has no ring. -Was growing on the ground but there were tree roots in the immediate area. -First attempt at spore print failed. Attempting a second now. -Found near Columbia, South Carolina.

It's gotten larger. Also, I was wrong about the stem: it's not hollow. It certainly feels like it when you hold it, though. Also, I managed to get a spore print this time: it's white. It also smells a little sweet.
