I recently started taking pictures of mushrooms with the hope of identifying them later. I wish I saw this thread earlier so I would know to make sure to take note of the bulb, ring, and what they feel like. Do any of these look definitely edible, deadly, or :lsd: to you guys?

This is from the Santa Cruz mountains:


This was on the side of a paved multi use path in Contra Costa County. It felt a bit slimy and I might be imagining things, but I think it left a slight burning sensation:


All the rest of these are from Henry Coe state Park, I have a hiking pole in most of the pictures for size reference:




These caps caught my eye because they were nearly black on top






I haven't seen something like this before. It was just a lumpy ball full of a fluffy green powder






Bugs in the gills?

Don't eat any of these without researching further but since this is fun I'll wing more guesses:
No worries. I am not the kind of person that will eat something because a person on a comedy forum says it is maybe [but probably not] safe. I figure most of the time when I run into something that looks like food there has to be some reason another animal hasn't gotten to it first.

I'll keep checking out mushrooms as I run across them and and take note of more of their features.
