Howdy folks, can someone identify these front yard mushrooms and give me some pointers on how to tell if they are edible or not? Location is So Calif.

Thanks in advance.

My pointer would be not to go by advice online.

A few years ago there was a Vietnamese couple in California who poisened
themselves and their children becaue they thought a mushroom looked like
a safe muchroom from back home, but it wasn't.


Excellent advice! I know mushrooms are tricky. Remember reading about an older man who was a long-time 'expert' with mushrooms. One day he picked some, fried and ate them and then died.
