Waldegerling Scaly Wood Mushroom, grows in parks and gardens. In addition, these are light pink at the apex of the stem.

but these grow in the forest. Silvaticus= forest in latin. Blushing Wood Mushroom

Tylipilus felleus. Bitter Bolete.

Inedible

Your heart skips because you think have found a Boletus edulis but no, it is only a Bitter Bolete. Confirm by placing the tip of your tongue on the tubes under the cap; the taste is clearly bitter. The tubes are light pink and the stem is covered with a coarse, brown net.
