    #s 1, 3 and 4 are Boletes.
    #1 Boletus edulis (King boletus), the best of them all!
    # 3 and # 4 could be Leccinum, though the stem looks kind of short.

    #2 Lactarius scrobiculatus or similar?
    #5/6 Fulgio septica? growing on grass? not familiar with the tundra!
    #3/4 is a Leccinum.

    I agree with 3&4 these are definetly leccinium.

    they taste good but I would recomend a soup or dried as they have a very distinct texture and a kind of mild peppery hint to the pallet. they are good though. I didnt eat the stems and I am fine. though as I heard from Rob, they can cause some digestive irritation is some(him included). That first one looks like a real tasty King!

    that final could that be a cauliflower strain mushroom? looked hearty.

    Good luck.

    Sure was a great season for chantrelles!
