Fair point. Thank you for your comment. I was hoping someone would maybe recognise at least one. #3 I thought it was a Russula too, but I didn't know which Russula it was. To be honest I actually I had mostly no idea about the other mushrooms. From now on I shall add 50% beneficiary rewards for @hive-166168 . Much appreciation

there exist damn lot different Russula species (and I dont know and I do not distinguish myself more than 4-5, personally!), so if the 1st step is more or less confirmed, the next one is a little piece to bite to check if there is a bitter taste to it.. color of the stem, color of the cap (close-up) are important too. without this, how the magic identification by photo' can be performed at all?... ;)
when there are no fancy distinguishable features -- I am totally in the same boat as you! and have no idea.
ps. one of others you listed under question (kind of Boleto mushroom) may be a Xerócomus subtomentósus, or his close relative from said family...
nonono, that would be unfair!!! 5-6% would be much appreciated and suitable, no more please.
Thank you for sharing your valuable insights. I really appreciate this. I could not change the beneficiary rewards in this post, but I will do it from Mushroom Protocol 07 onwards. I did bite a piece and it had a sharp taste. More like a hot on the tongue. So I thought it must have been inedible. Learned the same at the association of mycological studies. It grew close to hazelnut trees. Also recognised it from the stem being similar to polystyrene.
Sometimes I get photos from friends and I always tell them I need a 360 degree look as it, smell it, feel it, maybe even break it.
The guessing made no sense. I don't know what I was thinking.
Correct. It was a Xerocomellus Crystenteron. Very close. Very common but the ones I found unfortunately all had worms. So no xerocomellus crysenteron for dinner that day.
Thank you as always for your kind support my friend.
ha! so you know that trick already ;))))
shrooms from this family are very soft (like all Boleto) - they easy and very fast become the harvest for worms, as my experience says. only very fresh ones, or ones that appear on a dry stony areas, can stand for a while without being infected with worms.
exactly so! I made last summer a picture about taking pics for identifying purposes (planned a very long how-to post... but still did nothing!)
