These were found 'accidentally' outside the office of an insurance agency.
A long distance shot of the habitat...
 A couple more shots from far away...

 The A. Muscarias


 The A. Muscaria possibly mixed with some unidentified Amanitas
 A couple more pictures

You wait I might be able to show you "Ammonita Avenue" this year (a troop about 200m* long and three or four deep of a.musc), and yeah our a.muscs concave alot!

Verrry nice amanitas you have there, definitely like them from an aesthetic point of view! Those boletes could be interesting edibles, but be sure to eliminate the possibility of you having a poisonous species there. Bolete poisonings are usually more of a nuisance than that they are dangerous, but still there's no need to take risks.
Nice finds!

I usually find Suillus species growing next to or near Amanita muscaria under pine trees. Not totally sure about your Boletes though.

Hey eris, I think these are suillus species boletes too given the slimey, probably staining cap, and the bright yellow pores. I was hoping for them to be Kings from a distance, since my guide lists A Muscaria being an indicator for their habitat, but no luck.

They look kinda suillus to me, so I agree with eris on that. There are some decent edibles in the genus, although none are considered choice edible to the best of my knowledge. Combined with other, more strongly flavored boletes, they may add body to a dish however.

Thanks for the comments koraks, but I don't think I have any interest in trying any of the suillus, since they don't appeal to me at all, very slimey, I think I'll just leave them for whatever purposes they had in mind.
I would be interested in trying some of the more classic choice type boletes, but haven't stumbled on any as of yet. I need to get out to the national forest here, but have been busy and just finding mushrooms doing everyday stuff.

I can imagine you don't really fancy the slimy suillus, although removing the slime with a paper towel and removing the gills from older specimens certainly make the dish less slimy. If you're looking for the 'real' edibles, especially keep an eye on moss-covered soil under beech, that's where I usually find b. edulis and b. erythropus.

Nice, thanks for the tips. When you do find them, do you find them in great numbers?
