The top red one is a russula, The one more to the right is something else. I don't believe there's an edible in the bunch. You can wait for someone more experienced. What kind of edibles are you looking for? If you know what you want, you can target it, rather then picking everything you come across. Those are all Different Genus and Species.

From a quick glance they all look like Russula. It is recommended to use one picture per species. Nice photo though.

I didn't realize this picture was cactu's from the Largest Mushroom thread.Here are a bunch of other pictures of Red Russulas. It is very hard to pin it down to a species.

Don't eat it, Russula emetica will make you sick.

Those golden yellow Russulas are good to eat. I sauteed the few I found last year in a little butter and they came out tasting "almost too" sweet, kinda like sweetened, dried coconut. Good thing I found them just as a squirrel was beginning to munch on them.

The big purple cap to the right could be an unusually large Russula, too, but I'm uncertain. Its possible that those red-capped Russulas are the "Shellfish" type, distinguished from potentially sickening reddish species by a crustacean or fishy smell (quickly microwaving them in a plastic bag or other container may be needed to bring out the smell).

Keep an eye out for green Russulas, which have been out in abundance this year. They also have a nice, sweet taste.

You can't use someone else's picture to try and ID your mushroom.
We don't even know what your mushroom looks like or any information about it.
All we see is a picture that you say looks like your mushroom.
NO ONE should give advice as to edibility in a case like this.

I made two threads that had the Quilted Green Russulas in them, Russula virescens. I made soup out of them that was out of this world.

Oops, I went down too quickly to notice that it wasn't his pic (I get overly excited by the appearance of golden yellow Russulas). If one in fact has a bright yellow-capped Russula with a bright yellow stalk, rest assured it is a good Russula. To my knowledge, the next closest look-alikes are waxcaps with very different textures and statures. Hopefully the OP has some experience with Russulas...My advice about the red type he supposedly did find still holds: possible edible if there's a distinctive seafood aroma and likely poisonous otherwise.
