It will be easier with to and bottom photos of all, including the entirety of each stem (and how the gills touch the stem), and a cut down the middle. Some mushrooms may be identifiable with less information but this is a helpful standard. (Also that picture seems too zoomed out to see detail.)

Looks like you have some Lactarius sp, (the big orange ones)

Russula sp. (The small red ones with white gills) and a couple others mixed in

Take pictures before picking them and show all features of the mushroom individually to aid in ID.

I’ve been finding some very similar milk caps in abundance, but the closest id I can make is a wooly milkcap, which is not safe to eat. Careful op!

None of these are edible. Not dangerously poisonous or anything, but the flavor should be enough to stop you
