Mushroom nibbled by slugs and/or squirrels

This mushroom was poking up through the mosses, and was one of a group of about 12, all of which had been nibbled on. Slugs, snails, certain fungus beetles, and squirrels all like munching on mushrooms and other fungi. This is probably a Boletus.

Superb colour - neat image.

The light on the surface of the mushroom is so shining, but at the same time the entire texture is perfectly visible in all details.
This mushroom looks like a fresh loaf of bread as for shape and colour, is it edible? Besides for squirrels and snails, I mean ;^)

looks like it is a very popular food with very different species! Perfect! V

Wonderful details and colors! I wonder if this one would be poisoned, would it be also nibbled on ? Great find! V.

There's a little beetle on it too, but surely not the one who ate the larger servings 8-) Good catch!
