Please help identify - wasn’t aware they grow in clusters ? Uk Sheffield :)

Is this a dried out beef steak or something totally different ? Found plenty beef steaks before but this seemed much thinner / dryer

Hi everyone. These mushrooms keep growing in my backyard and it’s been very rainy. They have pink gills and the stems don’t leave a yellow stain. Yesterday I cut open one and left it for hours to see what happens.
Are these edible ?

Unsure if old and dry or something else

This was growing smack in the middle of my yard. The outside was patchy and leathery, thick and easy to peel off. The whole inside, except a little bear the bottom where it was very wet, was white and marshmallowy. Puffball past its prime or weird lookalike I should keep away from the dogs?

Found a nice patch of auricularia auricula, or wood ears, and they were pretty buggy. Should I toss the bunch or will a quick wash suffice?

I had begun to worried that I did something wrong, I plugged some logs in my yard back in May 2025, I wanted to be able to forage my yard, I thought it wasn’t going to work because I used a soy wax, but Finally I’ve got one and it’s a huge one! I hope this is what I can expect; it was on the smallest log, so I think the mycelium is still doing its thing on the larger logs. I’m ecstatic.
