The first 7 include the first 3 boletes suspects. Found in mixed hardwood leaves. The dirt is more dry and sandy in this area, althout it had plenty of leaf matter as well.Some oak.

The next 4 pictures show the puffballs with a gray inside. An older specimen had grubs inside. You can see the fly hole in the top. These were found in the same area as the above group.

Next are 3 boletes found in some moss. The same mixed hardwoods are around. More moist.

The last one was found in a more shaded area with some other vegetation.

Most (all) of the boletes seen in the photos are well past maturity. So cap color, pore/tube color, and other features have been subject to change as the mushrooms have aged.

For instance, the boletes seen in the first few photos have dark pores. But I don't really know if this is the usual natural color or if they have started out a lot more yellow and just aged to brown...?

The ones in the middle batch of photos --lots of little dark spots on the stalks-- may be Boletus subglabripes (sometimes listed as Leccinum subglabripes). But I don't have a lot of confidence in this proposal.

The last one (last three photos) looks like Boletus fraternus or B. rubellus.

The puffballs are a species of Scleroderma.
