the little ones look like cubes but the other ones don't...

I wouldn't eat the larger ones that have gills. Medium sized ones look like they could be Boletes. Does it have kind of a spongey undercap that scrapes off to revel the meat of the shroom?

No but alot of the other ones do, what about that yellow one?

The yellow one or the single one in the second photo looks like a bolete. Do an image search of Bolete on Google. I know they are popping here in Oregon.

If you are not 100% on what they are don't do it. At the least they will make you sick and could kill you, be safe.

The place we got them in a known shroom spot in a cow field. The website even says the species there haha. But im still making sure i ID them

They just help me identify it as a bolete. Boletes are real tasty. I tend not to even touch mushrooms that I don't know what they are. Some have spores that are nasty.

please DO NOT eat any mushrooms you are not sure of.
And even experts can't really tell you what they are just by looking at the photos.
You are risking your life or health. A single mushroom can and will kill (and it may be a slow and agonizing death).
There is just too many species that look way to similar to edible shrooms and it is so easy to mistake those deadly ones for something you think you know and eaten before.
Don't get me wrong - i am not a shroomo-phobic and i love wild mushrooms as food - i am just saying it is very irresponsible to consume what you have found if you haven't got enough knowledge to recognise the deadly ones.
too much to lose mate. please make sure you know what you put in your mouth.
btw: those little ones does not look like cubes to me as there is no visible blue/purple bruising on them

I did some research and you can actually grow mushrooms fairly easy in mason jars. It's a lot safer then the try and die method...

Here in good ol Minnesota we have Morels. They are just a mushroom every one loves to hunt for casual eating. Great taste. Any way, I found some with a buddy while kayaking down the river. I tried to get him to eat some that I cooked and he wouldn't touch them. I said, look man, if I die eating these and you are still alive,...... what do you think every one will say??? He ate the mushroom.
