It looks like some kind of Bolete but had to tell for sure without seeing under the cap to see if it has gills or pores. If it has gills it isn't a Bolete. Best guess is a Chrome Foot Bolete?

Looks like some kind of Bolete to me to. If you want to see something cool with boletes, turn them upside down and on the bottom take a stick,pen, or something to scratch the bottom with. Gently write your name, a lot of boletes will instantly pump out a blue/green ink where you wrote. If it turns blue you know it is inedible. Some of the edible ones won't bruise ink, but even if they don't doesn't mean they are edible.
Hey Huntall, They look somewhat similar - I did a Google search and found a mushroom society here in Wisconsin. I emailed a couple of photo's of the mushrooms to them tonight. I will let you know if I receive a reply...;)
Hey Huntall, Here's the reply I received on the red-orange colored mushroom, "some sort of bolete but not enough image nor info to go on. It will have pores or tubes underneath (not gills like a button mushroom or the blue Cortinarius )". This year I have spent more time walking around verses riding on the ATV - saw lots of interesting mushrooms. I need to buy a mushroom book so I can learn more!
Ruskbucks - You were right-on with the ID. Thank you...;)

Get a good field guide and go out and try to identify them. It's lots of fun. We have a bunch of different mushroom books that we use. I'll bet you have a mushroom club close by that you can go for walks with and get comfortable picking out the edible ones.
