Think these are Aspen Bolete due to proximity of Aspen thicket & Panther Cap. Welland, Worcestershire. Not sure though as next trees were Birch, although around 3 M away so could be Birch Bolete ๐ค

Surprising to see some Larch Bolete (Suillus grevillei) coming out on an Industrial estate in Blaina, Gwent yesterday whilst at work. I suppose recent rains have promoted fungus to think itโs Autumn.
