Are those the "good" kind of mushrooms?
If not, just pick the suckers.

If they bruse blue, keep em. If not, pull them if you want. This means your soil is very moist but keep in mind, mushrooms are one of nature's composters

Just remember that 90% of mushrooms are poisonous.

I think its the mildly poisonous ones these guys are looking for.
I only eat wild mushroom if I'm 100% sure and I still don't always trust my identification skills.
There are only a few really severely poisonous mushrooms in North America and its the amanitas that have caused 90 percent of mushroom-related deaths.
