Can anyone help me identify these mushrooms? Found them in a patch of dirt in my backyard area next to a stump. I live in Los Angeles. They look darker than they did yesterday, possibly because they're wet (it's been raining hard all morning), but I'm also pretty sure they're dead/rotting. They were either being crushed by or growing around a ladder that I moved, that I'm sure wasn't great for them.

The whole thing looks gross and decomposing, so I'm pretty sure they're old and rotting. Wasn't able to get a spore print either, though that's something I had never done before so maybe I'm just doing it wrong. If they're all decomposing, should I remove them all to give a chance for new fruiting bodies to spring up? I doubt the rains will last here much longer so I want to allow for new mushrooms to pop up if that's possible.

I might be mistaken but I was always told even poisonous mushrooms are safe to handle, just not to eat. Nonetheless, any time I was actually handling these mushrooms I was wearing gloves, I just took them off for the pictures (in which I am not touching them)

Those are way too old to eat in the first place.

Correct, it isn't touching that is the problem, it is digesting them that is the problem. Although, super old rotten stuff like that isn't good to be touching because of bacteria. It is probably a type of Armillaria....maybe old Armillaria mellea, but no clue at this age without proper taxonomic checks..

Should I remove them to allow for new mushrooms to spring up? Even if they aren't edible I'd want to let them spring back up so I'll have younger ones to identify.

They probably won't come back for a few months at least.
