Default Growths on deer

Yes the smaller dark ones look like these. Under the left front leg there was one that was one about four inches in diameter that looked like a yellow fungus, sort of like a pheasant back mushroom with dark spots.

I have seen 3 deer on the property I hunt this year with them. It's a doe with two yearlings. She seems to have passed it along to them. I'm not sure if I should shoot all three of them to get them out of the gene pool or not. I'm also not sure about eating them if I do shoot them. According to the research I have done, they should be ok to eat, but who knows for sure. Any else have any thoughts?
