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

*Disclaimer I am rubbish at gardening and not a mushroom expert or in the least bit greenfingered*
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.2 -
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.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

Thanks, it looks like Fairy fingers so not poisonous, but will remove as much as I can to avoid any potential problems0

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.
ThanksNo man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.1
