Should I be worried about these?

Hi everyone, this might be an easy ID for many of you.

I'm very new to this game though & I've spent several hours online now & completely tied myself in knots on what it might be.

I'm now starting to realise that Fungi is an enormous subject!

 

Anyhow. These are popping up all around my chicken area.

Searching under the bushes show more established clumps, while there are many new clumps appearing everywhere.

 

The run area for the chickens is quite big for the amount of birds.

Last year we put down a couple of tonnes of birch chippings. This year (March?) a couple of tonnes of cherry chippings.

 

The chickens aren't bothered by them & are not eating them.

 

Some of the older/larger fungi appear to have a sticky top. But I only noticed that, I've not touched one yet.

After reading a bit online I see that can help to identify.

 

There is no noticeable smell when picked & snapped in half. I've not crushed one yet & seen if that releases a smell.

 

Anyone know what they are & what I should do with them?

 

Thanks in advance.
