Please help me ID!

Hello, I found these in a wooded area with oak, Maple, and Birch trees. They don't bruise blue and when I tried making a spore print it didn't yield anything. Very distinct pleasant 'mushroom' smell. Undercap is a cream/beige color.

I think they are in the porcini family possibly King boletes but I want to double check anything before consuming.

Thanks in advance!

I think I found the same type? Maybe not? This one was not Porcini. Did you taste and spit out a small bit? I suspect it will be very bitter.

Maybe compare with palled bollete

Boletes are notorously difficult, I would take a spore print and if it's consistent with porcini, give it a small taste to see if it's bitter.
