The first is a Leccinum, can't determine the species. The second is Boletus edulis, and a whopper!

Russians, I think, have a greater appreciation for fungi than many of English descent.

Do you search for any truffles?
 
welcome koleso........neat pics. That first one screws up my sense of depth perception. I think it's because of the size of the mushroom.

This is scientific name of mushroom-in wood i say red and white,but not:Mom i am really search Boletus edulis)))
 
If you go to mushroomobserver.org, and search for Boletus edulis, you should get many photos similar to yours.

I think you Leccinum may be Leccinum scabrum, especially if it is found near birch trees, like the ones shown in your photos.

If you post your photos at mushroomobserver.org, you will have many experts suggest probable names quickly.
 
I am not interested scientific names, we say easier.Yellow mushroom-we say Fox :thumbsup:

Sorry you don't like scientific names.

Latin names help in identification of mushrooms. Boletus edulis means "edible Bolete".

Cantharellus (Bright yellow mushroom you call fox) should have apricot aroma. Nobody knows that to call Cantharellus now, because Cantharellus cibarius (Yellow chanterelle) has recently been shown to grow very few places, mostly Scandinavia, Denmark and a small piece of Great Britain.

Had Ukrainian friends mistake an Amanita mushrooms for an edible Russian species. Bad mistake. Very sick.
 
I am veteran in this business,with 14 years of grandfather and forest wonder.I am sorry Ukrainian friends who do not know species of fungi!!! :dontknow:
