I love identifying mushrooms. The first big ones seem to have pores rather than gills and is growing out of the ground rather than from wood. It appears to have light colored flesh but I can't really tell. My best guess is that the Genus is Polyporus. Perhaps the species is badius or radicatus (italic or underline).
P.S. Oh, I missed the "are they dangerous" question the first time. Unless it's been properly keyed using a current key, all fungi should be treated as dangerous with the possible exception of shelf fungi. I don't think you should try to get rid of them unless they are actually dangerous.
I have more baby stuff to bring over. Maybe you and Tenzin and I could do spore prints? They take overnight and are super fun.
I don't know portland mushrooms, but the top ones that have yellowish pores and slimy brown tops look like Slippery jacks. Very common down here in the redwood area. Allegedly they're edible but I wouldn't want to eat them...it's been suggested to dry them grind them into a powder and use the powder in soup broth to add an oily quality. But I would not do that without having a mushroom expert actually ID them for you for certain, and then only if they're relatively fresh and not too old and gross.
The little ones I'd call LBMs (little brown mushrooms).

The lower ones have gills, right? I can't tell from the photo. If they have gills, I would need a spore print to identify it. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/spore_print.html

They could also be boletes, some of which are edible, some not.
