They look like red cracking boletes (boletus chrysenteron) to me.

Unfortunately they aren't really worth eating...too soggy and tasteless. Oak Boletes are much bigger and firmer - and tastier - and rarer.

Of course, taste is subjective. Although there are undoubtedly better tasting mushrooms, I think small, firm, red cracking boletes are worth eating.
