Mushrooms found Oct 4, 2012 on Bluenose Mtn east of Vernon, BC, CANADA

[Zelda]

Theses are some more mushroom pics. I hope to go out again this long weekend (happy Canadian Thanksgiving fellow Canucks) as we still need a bit more firewood for the winter. Cheers!

They were found all within 100 feet of each other in mixed loge pole pine, larch, Doug. Fir, birch, hemlock, Western red Cedar forest.

Second one looks like Suillus pictus, painted bolete

I think the mushrooms in the 2nd pic may be Suillus lakei, the Western Painted Bolete. Similar to S. pictus, but not as much red in the cap coating/scales. I have found S. lakei in the Rockies. I think S. pictus is only found in NA east of the Rockies.

The last pic shows clusters of mushrooms that may be Armillaria. The one gilled mushroom --upper portion of photo shows inverted cap with gills-- looks like an Armillaria. But the inverted mushroom in the bottom part of the photo is a Suillus. So I'm confused about the scaly mushrooms in the clusters... Are they Armillaria or are they Suliius, possibly S. lakei?

First photo --mushroom with grayish gills-- is probably a Hypholoma species. At least one species of Hypholoma is poisonous.

White gilled mushrooms look like a species of Clitocybe.

The large buttons just emerging form the ground look like Armillaria... but more info would be good.
