Chestnut bolete or what???

[Oldgrandman]

This picture could be better, I admit. I just had a hard time focusing in primarily on the one really fresh one I found that was not eaten upon much or old looking. I dropped it before I could get it home to get a better pic and it broke up on me. It had little tubes hanging down from it. Chestnut bolete is as close as I have found to it in my books. I do not think it is a sweet tooth but I am not that positive either way as I rarely get an unmolested fresh specimen of it.
One of my books talks about the hollow stem on chestnuts as seen on the older bigger one here, but the one that didn't show up real well was fresh and had little tubes off the underside. If I get back out and can get a better image I will post it.
Does this phopto help in ID-ing this mushroom? In a mostly oak woods, a few popple and some cherry and many other trees around. I find cinnibars, hens, chickens, corals, phesant backs, and a couple others like small puffballs I believe to be gem studded there.
Any guesses or suggestions appreciated....

Those 2 Orangeish topped mushrooms with the spiney spore surfaces are SWEET TOOTHS, that hollow stemed shroom from what I can see may well be a chestnut yes, but without multiple shots I can not be certain?
Chow on those toothys they be awfull good!

Hey OGM
The bolete is too old to tell, many older boletes will
appear to have a hollow stems at that age from the little
guys chowing.

The other 2 if they have spines under the cap like this they probably
sweet tooths(aka hedgehogs).

I think they are all the same just the other two older ones are pretty far gone as these all were found right around each other. Only the half one was showing tubes and appeared fresh. The bigger one with the holow stem is what they mostly look like by the time I got to them. Might not be but, I will be paying more attention.
The things popped and were chewed on and went bad with the weather so fast except that one I wasn't sure what to think. I think squirrells are chewing on most of them as well as bugs. If I had gotten em all fresh as they popped I could have had a hundred or so.
I'll try and get agood photo soon....
Thanks for the replies!

Nope, not the same at all I can see that now.
First is as good a pic as I could get of the tube shroom, a possible sweet tooth but absolutely eaten up. These are very hard to find unmolested by the wildlife where I look. Man I just cannot get a good shot of this thing!!!

Second are the possible chestnut boletes, these are a couple fresh ones from today, no tubes....these are (or were) abundandt this season but also mostly bad or eaten upon when I spotted them.
It is a fun but frustrating hobby sometimes.

Hey OGM
that looks like a sweettooth that needs to stop by the dentist soon.
:yikes: ....:)

The other 2 do look like the chestnut boletes I find
and nice ones at that!

Sorry to get technical but boletes and some polypores
in general that have pores are made up of many individual
of what are called tubes not to be confused with the
toothed fungi.
Just some useless info I thought I'd toss in.

Those last two look to be some prime chestnuts. I love em! I like the sweet tooths as well. That last chewed up pic of one definitely was one.
