sry for the Bad Grammar, sintaxis, English, etc.
 
To my knowledge we only use Lovecraft's original works, noghing by Derleth and other authors unless Lovecraft has implemented it into his works or something similar.
 
The Cthulhu Mythos' canon is traditionally accepted to be works written by Lovecraft, as well as works written by close friends when he was alive, as long as it was either written for the Mythos setting or incorporated into it by Lovecraft himself.

Anything else is EU.
