What is this growing in my lawn? Is it poisonous to dogs?

As the title says, what is this?  I have lots of different mushrooms growing in my lawn, probably 10 different sorts, is this another one?  Is it poisonous to dogs, as we have two stupid dogs who would eat this given half a chance.

Thanks

But these look like Fairy Fingers / White coral funghi.

In terms of safe for dogs can't find anything to suggest not but I'm not sure I'd risk contact with any wild mushrooms with mine.

I too had an internet trawl and thought coral fungus.
You could find someone with the plant matching app.
I did wonder if it was one of those rare ones but I don't think so

Good specimen though, and photo.
I'd sllice it off anyway just to be sure.
The main plant is underground so you're not killing it.

Thanks, it looks like Fairy fingers so not poisonous, but will remove as much as I can to avoid any potential problems

Interesting thread but I must object to the characterisation of dogs. They may not be Oppenheimer rivals but there is no such thing as a stupid dog, only stupid owners.
