Lycoperdon echinatum (Spiney Puffball)

Lycoperdon echinatum (Spiney Puffball)  found on Hutton Roof a couple of days ago

I guess what I found was seven little hedgehogs all curled up in tiny little balls!  but seriously I did not expect to see seven Lycoperdon echinatum's (or Spiney Puffballs) whilst out on my foraging.  Just at the top of one of the Crags in a shady place and all within a area of two metres of one another.

I also found these two below on Hutton Roof Common and I believe it is of the family "Amanita".  Not sure which variant it is, but was a true meaty specimen and probably measured something like 4" across the cap. And although these were flattened capped, there was also another one closeby which was of the same but of a dome shaped cap.

And here below are a couple of photos of the same fungi I found today up in Dalton Crags.  I can only presume it is of the Bolete family, probably Brown Birch Bolete.
