Martini try this for detailed differentiation.
Yes Emma, they are very similar. There may be some better local knowledge for my spotting but its genus is good for us novices.
I think that it is a Suillus

Thanks Emma. I recall only plain white stems but some mottling is seen on the stem of the next pic just loaded. I will go back for a more detailed look.
Martini ,i saw a bolete ,a little similar to your s under the trees.

Only difference i see is that the stem does not seem to have a veined veil.
Do you remember seeing that?
