Help ID please. Poisonous or edible?

With Boletes, staining reactions can be critical for identification.  Did you notice any blue staining after handling the mushroom?  There appears to be a faint blue streak across the pores in the 2nd photo.

Are those trees hemlocks or larch? Could there be a few pines mixed in?

Boletes are almost all mycorrhizal species , meaning the mushrooms are the result of a fungus that associates with particular living trees. 

Interesting. Here's a low confidence tentative guess... Imleria badia. Usually the caps of this species are dry. Was this found soon after rainfall?
