no worries. Both are edible species, you just have to be sure they're not 'Amanita eggs'

Didn't take good enough notes with this picture. I'll have to keep an eye out for it again this year. Thanks for the suggestions!

if they are growing on buried wood then maybe it's Lycoperdon pyriforme but if not growing on wood maybe L. perlatum but I'd be less sure
kfox
did they have stems? Venation?
