So walking in my woods the other day and I came across these different mushrooms all over the woods. The first pictures are of what I think might be shiitake mushrooms.

The next I think is a type of fall bolete. These are even more abundant than the shiitake looking ones (which were pretty prolific).

The rest are pictures of random fungi that I thought looked good.

These ones were another prolific mushroom in the woods. The camera didn't really do them justice, they had more of a pink hue than I'm seeing on my computer screen. They really reminded me of crab or lobster meat with the pink exterior when I first saw them.

They don't look like shiitakes to me. Did you take a spore print?
Also, doesn't look like it's growing on a log.

I haven't done anything like a spore print, just a quick look at mushrooms on google images to see what might look similar. I'm pretty far from an expert on fungi, the only mushrooms I can ID well enough to eat are morels and puffballs.

I agree with CJ. Very unlikely to be shiitake. Very rare to find in the woods. Almost exclusively cultivated. Spore print is crucial to valid ID.
