I have no idea on numbers 1 or 3, but my best guess from the photo for the middle one is Tylopilus chromapes. BBF call it the chrome footed bolete and say its edible, although I've never tried it. You also should not try it on the basis of my ID, its only my best guess from a single photo.

The red ones in the first photo look like bitter boletes. An easy way to tell is to tear off a small piece and chew it a little. If it tastes bitter then it's obviously a bitter. Either way you should spit it out afterwards.

Yeah I tried the the taste test and didnt notice an bitterness,I read somewhere that you would know immediately.I was thinking the the first pic is probably some kind of King or Queen,but really saw no reticulation on the stem,all the ones in the first picture have a prominent bloom on the caps in that stage have not found any of them in ready to spore stage yet.Have to look at it in better light,probably be back out there tomorrow afternoon.the one in the middle pic not really sure, the bottom pic I think are Bi-Color(Two-Color) most everything I read matches the books,Immediatel blue staining pore surface slow to no blue staining on the flesh.The only other thing I could think would be a Frost,s Bolete.The middle I am unsure about.They are all in one area under Red and Burr Oaks,possibly some whites and some Maples.Also found a nice sized White Russula,possibly Brevipes so it could be a future spot for Lobsters.

Rob - Just a follow-up. Mushroomexpert dot com shows that Tylopilus chromapes has been reclassified as Leccinum chromapes. He doesn't use any common name.
Spore prints would help narrow these IDs down.

The ones did turn out to be bitters after all.No biggie,I had a suspicion that they would be because of the sheer number of boletes I was finding,I had read that they grow in big groups.The others not real sure but I didnt pick any so not a big thing.As for being Chromapes it could be.If I get a chance I will get back out later in the week ,we had a little more rain today so there may be more popping and I'll try to look at it a little bit more.An thanks for your thoughts Cisco i appreciate them.
