I have seen at least two kinds of dandelions in my yard. One of them has lighter green smooth leaves. This type has larger budded flowers with a thicker more rounded stem. These are the kind that some people eat if they like bitter vegetables.

The other kind I saw has a darker green leaf that is kind of fuzzy. The stems are skinnier and the flowers ball up much tighter at night. The flowers are also not usually as big. I have not seen any videos where people have eaten this kind yet so I am unsure if this particular species is also edible or not.

There are mainly two types of dandelion: Taraxacum officinale (common dandelion) and Taraxacum erythrospermum (red-seeded dandelion). These species can have variations in leaf shape, flower color, and seed morphology.
