Its really not that hard, depending on the mushroom. While I didn’t exactly identify it I am aware that all the mushrooms that could look like this are essentially harmless. I know enough about them to be able to do that thankfully. You don’t need all the information when you have all the information you need.
I get it but this is not an LBM and I did have the ability to identify this one with a degree of certainty I felt comfortable with. I have a lot more experience with this than I can demonstrate through a lemmy comment and a lot more went into ID than just looks. I even gave warning for what to avoid if it were one of the toxic ones.
You for sure should not “identify” mushrooms based on pictures on the internet. There is so, so much missing information here.

Please understand this is coming from a concern for people’s safety and not an attack against you.
Mycologists agree that LBMs (little brown mushrooms) are notoriously difficult to identify. Many little brown mushrooms ARE toxic.
There are a few species of mushrooms that look a lot like this but are extremely deadly. You simply do not have enough info to ID these mushrooms.
In order to id mushrooms you need at least:
Anyone who tries to identify a mushroom with any less than this is putting people at risk.
