Are mushrooms brightly colored to say "don't eat me" ?

Giant mushroom found in my neighbor’s yard in northeast New Jersey, hand and $20 bill for scale. Purely curious!

Found a spot that I have been harvesting about once a week for the last 4 weeks

August 2026, Eastern Europe

Im desperate for an ID 🙏🫠

This one is quickly outgrowing its home. There is about a 13 hour difference in the pictures from last night to these.

I will get better pictures tomorrow. Growing inside a hollowed out tree. I’m struggling to ID this one.

Found them in the Adirondack region of New York. Trying to get better at identifying mushrooms and saw a lot of yellow patches growing in the area too. The off white/yellowed color of the veil remnants as well as the yellow stems on some of them is throwing me off. Can provide close ups of the stems if that helps. Would be awesome if anyone can explain what else to look for besides the white veil remnants!

Just noticed these at work, not planning to eat, just trying to advance my knowledge of mycology

Laes mycena maybe?

Is this Yellow Chicken in the Woods?

Found in northern Delaware. First image is a 33 frame stack

I believe this mushroom is a type of scaber Leccinum in the Boletaceae family. Black sabers are present on the stipe. Sponge-like tunes instead of gills, like another Boletes. I found a group of these growing in a drainage ditch at the end of my driveway among Ponderosa and Douglas Fir trees at an elevation of 8,000 feet.

I think one is an oyster cluster. But I found it growing out of the ground so I’m not sure.

There is almost a complete ring of this mushroom. There were heavy rains days before. Many yards have these

They remind me of Epcot Center at Disney World in Florida.

The others are near by
