Your pictured group appears to be growing among elm sprouts, perhaps coming up from roots of a cut back tree?

Armillaria are considered great delicacies in eastern Europe, but not all species are directly edible, requiring boiling first. One species (in U.K.) does not mix with alcohol.

It would be nice to get a good identity on your new crop.
Dennis the elm sprouts are from millions of seeds I have to deal with every year.
The Kellogg's stuff is full of wood chips and byproduct.
The soil in this whole bed is full of the main mushroom organism body whatever it is called.
I have no doubt it came in the bags of Kellogg's.
