A very distinctive species with it's blue/green colour! I found a group of this growing alongside the main path leading into the wood. Unfortunately many had already been trashed by dogs or walkers....Almost impossible to tell these apart by eye or photo. Great Wood, Stanton Park, Swindon, Wiltshire, UK. 2011-11-15.
This photo was taken on November 15, 2011 in Upper Stratton, Swindon, England, GB, using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

What a great find...and why are people so crass?
My dogs don't trample anything on purpose, but even my next door neighbour, a retired CEO of a big company and a good friend, kicks them over "because they are poisonous".
I find some people toxic, but I don't go and smash their faces in, tempting though that may sometimes seem.

Disgusting looking.. in a really cool way.
I was checking out a patch of boletes the pother day and a little terrier sprinted straight over and grabbed a mouthful of them.
I like to think he ID'd them from 20m and wasn't about to let me nick them

Many thanks to everyone for the comments and faves - I'm not sure where this sudden burst of attention has come from 10 months after I posted it - but it's great!!

Nah, it is edible and tastes quite good. You just have to pull off the skin before cooking them. I picked them many times.

It is mushroom season, matey. ;) Last fall I picked around 100 pounds of these:

Wonderful bluish colour. I've heard this is not "poisonous" but hallucinogenic because of its contet of Psylocibin. I guess once cooked that substance is gone, so yeah, that could be edible.
Good and interesting shot and the others confirm us that we're living in company of muggles as those from Harry Potter's books.
