After some heavy rains, we discovered this monster by the driveway, that cap is bigger than my fist!

Tylopilus felleus?

That's my best guess, I'm fairly ignorant about them but it's not too tricky. Bitter or brown birch, but I'm not keen on taste tests at this stage.

As far as i know boletes are safe to taste, at least in Europe. Tylopilus felleus is a mean little shit though, the disgusting gall taste stays on your tongue for hours.

I think i was wrong with tylopilus though, this one might be leccinellum sp.

I love the moss more than the mushroom to be honest
