Leccinum scabrum
It is an edible mushroom. It is wide spread in Europe and in the Northern Hemisphere. It fruits from June to October. It grows around birch trees, that's how it got its name.
Its habitat is around birch trees and spread across Europe and the Northern Hemisphere.
Certainly a Leccinum and not an Ink Cap. There is not really enough evidence to say what species, but L. scabrum is common and those may well be Birch leaves.
