Ruby Bolette
I presume these are the ruby bolette - Hortiboletus rubellus, round here they are always at the base of lime trees (Tilia) whereas the books suggest that they should prefer oaks...

Anyway, this one had a palmate newt sleeping under it, that I disturbed when I cleared the dead leaves from round about.

Silky Piggyback Mushroom
I blogged about the powdery piggyback mushroom here. These photos are of the silky piggyback mushroom - it is similarly parasitic on russules, but doesn't have the strange spore generating tissue of its powdery brethren.
