Mushroom (s) Identification

Here are a couple of crude pictures I took today of the mushrooms growing in my front yard. There are so many different types and some are grouped together. Some are as big as Portebello's (is that how you spell it?) Anyway, If someone knows what these are I would like to know before I paint and post these. Thank you guys for any help.

I'm not sure but please don't go by my guess. I think that middle one is Cantharellus cibarius .

Here is a great site to use:

EricaMaxine I think you might be right because this describes my land to a T.

"Ecology: Mycorrhizal with hardwoods--especially oaks; growing alone, scattered, or gregariously in summer and fall; from the Great Plains eastward."

Knowledge of mushrooms is complex (because so many look similar). Some are good and some are very, very bad. Cover your hands with a glove or piece of plastic when removing them from your environment.

Your right Kelley.. Ill do just that. Thank you for looking out. I have to get rid of them to keep my dogs off of them.
