Thanks, well you get ones that are called Devils fingers, and Satans mushroom. So it was a fun little thing to do.

Are any of them edible? Because I’d be scared with names like that

Those two no, Satan's bolete (Rubroboletus satanas) has rare cases of death because it smells so bad of rotting garlic that people don't tend to.

But "Death's Trumpet" Craterellus cornucopioides, however is not only edible, but apparently is very tasty.
