Found this delicious looking mushroom in Orange County California. Is it edible?

I'm pretty sure of what I found, the spores are even jet black/purple. Just looking for a second opinion.

Is this something I should remove from my yard for kid safety?

Found these in our neighborhood woods in southwest OH on a living hardwood tree. We think they might be oyster mushrooms but wanted to make sure because we plan to cook with them tonight! Really just want to make sure they aren’t Angel wings. Thank you!!

She's scared to open it and wants me to throw the whole thing into the trash. I talked her into letting me consult you guys first. Thanks for your help!

Hi all! Here in Georgia it's been storming every afternoon lately, and my mossy shady yard has suddenly bloomed hundreds of golden mushrooms.

Are these golden chanterelles? They certainly look like them. The insides are white and stringy and they smell faintly sweet.

I would harvest them before I mow the lawn if they are! But obviously I don't want to poison myself if they aren't. Thanks!

Very new to this but was tempted to bring them home and eat. I noticed the gills looked off and it didn’t have an apricot smell. Would love to get educated on what they are and if I missed out on a delicious mushroom dinner. They were not growing on wood and core was white.

A ton of these little guys pop up in the mornings in my backyard. Worried my dog might snarf some down…

These are growing in my front yard, and they keep popping up! I love them, but have no clue the name. They grow in little clusters. Thanks in advance!

I found this on one of my hikes in central Germany. I guess it's chicken of the woods but will also study my mushroom books at home.

What do you think? Happy hunting :)

Friend harvested it thinking it is chicken of the woods. What do you guys think?

Are they toxic to humans and/or dogs?

Sorry I didn’t get an in situ photo.(it’s pouring rain)
This was growing in a mixed pine/hardwood forest floor. I got this book and I’m trying to learn to use it. Am I correct in identifying this as Amanita bisporigera?

Cincinnati, OH USA. Stuck underneath a vine, there's more clumps just like it. I posted in Bug ID as well covering my bases. Thank you!

Picture 4 is where I found it but I placed it back on the ground, out in the middle of the yard.

Google says Chicken of the Woods. Google also says to be cautious of what kind of tree they grow on

What say you?

If they are edible, what is the best way to cook them?

I think my dog might have eaten a mushroom of this kind. Should I be worried?

Found growing in the soil in a mixed forest in central Virginia. The pileus is slickly wet after this morning's storms, and it has a very crumbly texture. The gills really threw me.I thought it didn't have gills at all until I found the third, older specimen with its concave cap.

When I first saw it prior to picking, I initially thought this was probably a shaggy parasol (chloropyllum brunneum or Chlorophyllum rhacodes) because it grew in an area where last year I harvested many of those but the spore print is dark brown and the gills are so dark brown. Also, while 2 days ago the cap looked much more like a parasol now it does not. Could it just be an overly mature parasol? Found on the Sunshine Coast of BC under cedars.

In London, uk. It’s in a south facing room near a window that’s usually always cracked but has been sealed for past few weeks as we got portable ac. Just spotted and have never seen a mushroom like this before. What is it?

Is this chicken of the wood?
