These are growing under our maple tree. I'd really like someone to tell me their edibility status. But I don't want just a guess, I want an absolutely positive, without-a-shade-of-a-doubt identification. Can we safely eat these for dinner? Or do we have to stop inviting babyfriends over to crawl in our yard?

The largest caps are maybe 5" across; the smaller ones are 2.5 or 3". I've never seen these in our yard before, but that side of the maple also dropped its leaves earlier than usual, so maybe the mushrooms are living on decaying roots.
