Hey, can anyone identified these plants and mushrooms for me?


Mushrooms

These are all kinda blurry, I tried to get clear photos, it was windy when I was out there too so that didn't help.

I'm curious to know if any of these are good forage for chickens and ducks and guineas. Or what wyoming native plants are good forage? I really want to have more options for the chickens and ducks they free range so it's be cool to encourage growth of plants that are good here and can provide either prey or forage for them.

I at least really wanna know about the mushrooms or what ever the brown ones are, when messed with they let out a powder (spores?) of some sort through the opening on the top. One of my ducklings a few weeks ago found one and brought it to their water and tried eating it but I stopped her so she wouldn't potentially get I'll from it if it's a bad plant or mushroom.

Thank you for any help identifying them!

Mushrooms

These are puffballs. They are edible before they turn into spores and erupt.

The big white one right?

Yes, and the two little ones that have already released their spores. As kids, we used to stomp them when they were ripe to see the puff of "smoke" they put out.
