Central Finland forest mushroom pics (edibles & etc.)

Mushroom season is really starting here (actually first boletes crop is already over) and looks good after couple of very poor years. Here are some pics from yesterdays and todays hunt.
Young Rozites caperita is a very good edible. Couple of edible Russulas, this seasons first fully developed Canharellus. Lactarius camphoratus is a small but good early season mushroom. Some really like Hydynum repadum, I'm not too exited of it. Gomphidus glutinosus is a soft mushroom covered with slime which must be removed and it turns grey when cooked but it is really tasty.
Lactarius necator needs to be boiled, IMO it has better texture than L. trivialis which needs to be boiled too before being edible. (Note: some studies claim L. necator is mutagenic, do not eat it if you are paranoid.)
Also an Amanita species and couple of Cortinarius which can be used as dye.

Thank you.
Of all weird things in forest I find slime molds both fasinating and scary. Big yellow ones are Fuligo septica, others I do not know.

Few more. Oblicatory A. muscaria, Boletus edulis, Leccunum versipelle (or vulpinum) which turns dark but is really good when fully cooked, another dye Cortinarius, an exellent edible Suillius luteus, a not so exellent edible Suillius variegatus, and Lactarius rufus which needs to be boiled and drained before use.
