They do look dreadful and probably toadstools although I dont know what is the difference between the two.

Looks like a coprinus comitus or shaggy mane as it's called. It's part of the Inky Cap family. Generally it is edible but I wouldn't try it without an expert who can verify it.

According to my mushroom book N.A.S. this is a Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus) and it is edible.

A little late with my post.
