Here are what I think Puffballs, found in a cemetery, dirty soil. Maybe they are Earthballs. By the way they were in large clumps about 10-15 each in a clump, then more clumps near.

And here are some Boletus Edulis? Found under pine in a park.

I do plan on eating them, I've checked and checked, and I think I'm OK.
Help? Please.

It you're not sure don't try them, even if you've checked the guides ..

No!!! Don't eat any funghi unless YOU are 100% sure that they are what you think they are. Do not rely on some people on the internet to advise you!!! What if they're wrong? What if they're absolutely sure but then they turn out to be wrong?
Do not eat funghi unless you are 100% certain on identification.
How much more clearly can I put it? Do not eat any funghi unless you know what they are!!

I think they are earthballs so I will throw them, but I really think I have edible boletes here, they were under pine.

I lifted "ceps" and showed them to my friend and asked what they were, he said ceps, so I showed them to another bloke and he suggested Ceps, then the last bloke in the group and he said ceps ( I asked them all individually without anybody else there so no one knew what anybody else had said), on a course a few months later we found out that they were brown birch bolete, not poisonous but we were all wrong in our suggestions and that put the wind up me because until then I was 110% sure..and I was still wrong!

Well, if you're sure then go for it. Let's face it, you have a 50:50 chance of being right don't you?

But these were under a pine, and have no staining when cut, the flesh is slightly yellow, I'm confused, I'm not sure, I might just throw 'em.
The Earthballs I have are most likely stump puffballs...

Wise decision.
As John Wright says...'it's only a meal...not worth dying for'.
For what it's worth I would suggest three of the Boletes in your pic are not edulis.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Yes I know that some mushrooms are hallucinogenic. Like Liberty Caps and Fly Agaric, but I do not have interest in any of that.
The main drug is Psilocybin. If I spelt it right.
And obviously some kill, like Death Cap and Destroying Angel, the names sound menacing.
