Rocky Mountian Mushrooms (Pictures)

This was posted in the Pub a while back, and there weren't any comments on IDs, it should have been posted here. I'm just looking to learn and become a better identifier (mushrooms in general not just actives).
These were taken in August in the Rockies. I'm pretty noobish so I can't ID very many, so feel free to comment on possible species.
Enjoy!

Cool. A few edibles in there, I thought I recognized the chanterelles and boletus but was scared to pick and eat because of possible poisonous look a likes. Thanks for the reply.

Heres a few more 
 Behind this small waterfall...
 It didn't turn out the clearest but 10-30 little shrooms growing on the side of the waterfall!


 These little guys were found at the Continental Divide, at about 13,500 feet. ^



 A foggy mountain morning...
 Some delicious wild raspberries!
 A nice view from the top of a 14er.

 I got super high up there

Nice pictures. I could help with the ID's more if there was a macro mode shot of the underside of each mushroom.

Nice stuff. We had a pretty good August this year here. I have a bit of an advantage on IDing these since I am a Colorado hunter.
Those ones that look like Chanterelles unfortunately aren't. They're a fairly common Clitocybe that grows here (and I've never bothered to figure out which species - I just can't bring myself to get excited about random Clitocybes). The Chanterelles here are helpfully almost always a pretty vivid golden yellow, although the top of the cap can fade some in the sun. The underside is always pretty obviously colored.
The boletes in your photos are probably all various species of Suillus. We actually don't have all that many Boletus species here in Colorado, and the only ones that are normally common are B. edulis, B. pinophilus, B. piperatus, and B. chrysenteron. On the other hand, we have Suillus in unbelievable numbers. In pretty much any year you could easily pick them by the bushel. Your Suillus appear to be S. granulatus or S. tomentosus, and S. lakei.
If you really want to learn about the mushrooms here, probably the fastest and easiest way to do it is to join up with the Colorado Mycological Society. We have meetings every month (except November thru February), and visitors are welcome. The next meeting is this Monday, October 8 at the Denver Botanic Gardens at 7:30 PM. If you have any specimens, bring them in and we'll be happy to identify them for you. There is also an annual Mushroom Fair at the Denver Botanic Gardens every August. We bring in somebody to help with identification and try to see how many kinds we can come up with. This year we had Dr Michael Kuo (the guy from mushroomexpert.com), who is also a really nice guy.
Happy mushrooming!

Sorry no underside pictures, I'll try to capture that next time.
Awesome info ToxicMan. Unfortunately, I do not reside in Colorado at the moment. These were taken on a small vacation. I do however, plan on moving their as soon as I finish getting my degree, in a year or two. I will defiantly check out the Colorado Mycological Society when I move. I can't wait to embark on this newfound hobby, I think it will be a great addition to my other hobby of mountain hiking. I can't wait to get back to my home state, I love Colorado!
Thanks for all the info!
