   I meant that the 'whitebolete' picture looks like B. edulis.   
      
   The 'redrussulamaybe' is not maybe, but just that. One of the   
   gazillion such red Russulas. I would not trust anybody's id, unless   
   the specimen is fully analyzed. There are far too many of them to make   
   sense off a picture alone. Although that if I had to bet, I'd say   
   R. sanguinea. It should be quite hot to the tongue (acrid).
