Boletus chrysenteron, the red (or pink) cracking bolete
Little thing, rarely more than 10 or 11cm across, not much taller, stem striated pinky yellow, yellow pores that stain greenish when you bruise them in most specimens, cap that starts brown and cracks to red. Grows in association with tree roots, usually broad leaved but doesn't seem to be entirely fussy which ones.
Often maligned as an edible, being rathery gooey. But when dried its excellent.

These one should be the Trumpet Chanterelle, Craterellus tubaeformis (Well I'm still alive after a few month of heavy consumption ).
In deciduous woodlands, cap up to 5-6cm, brown, trumpet shape with sometimes a hole going all the way down the stem, can be round or quite wavy on the older ones. Stem is yellowish and hollow, usually the only thing you see as they are very well camouflaged. Spore print whitish, yellow. Gills is the way to recognise as they're vein-like rather than gills, a bit like the chanterelles.
LOADS of them up here, picked up kilos, and they're suppose to last later in the season!
Not a big meal in themselves but really easy to dry whole, and tasty fried in butter or in omelettes.
