Mushrooms that could be harmful to my cats?!

Hi all,

I just went down to my basement and discovered a bunch of mushrooms sprouting on the concrete floor and wall of my basement. They look like this,

I'm terrified that they could be harmful to my cats if eaten. Anybody know what they are?

I do not recognize these mushrooms.  However, you must remove them immediately because of the possible toxins if eaten.  Even people should never eat unfamiliar mushrooms... same for animals.

Look up images of mushrooms on google... you'll probably find them there, and be able to identify them. :)

I set a spray of bleach & water on them and bought a dehumidifier. Hopefully that'll work. Nobody can identify them though???
