that orange-gilled one is a kind of milk cap, most likely Lactarius deliciosus or Lactarius deterrimus they are native to europe and common enough but have established themselves over there. i can't tell which. both are edible but likely to be infested with insects here

You are correct thanks for reminding me of that name. Funny thing is these guys don't really bleed milk as prominently as other milk caps. Sadly there was only just this one growing so I doubt I'll be getting a good haul of these anytime soon for a meal.
if there is little milk then as long as what drips out is orange it is likely Lactarius deterrimus. here they are mostly confined to spruce forests
I did find this one around evergreen. I've been looking at photos of them not bleeding the milk in older specimens so this one was probably a bit on the old side. The blueing of the top and orange stem/gills is the dead giveaway.
