Do a search, there is a mushroom expert on here I remember seeing a thread about mushrooms. You could @ them to get a response.
These popped up in my yard, can I eat them?

LegendaryIf no further information can be provided my best guess would be some rather haggard and peculiarly squamous Candolleomyces candolleanus, based mostly on the substrate and irregularly shaped margin. In any event, it strikes me as a harmless Psathyrellaceae, devoid of tryptamine alkaloids if that's what you were hoping for.
Have you by chance experienced a substantial amount of rain quite recently? That could account for the unusual weathered and hygrophanous appearance.
Yes, heavy rains and a good thick base of wood chips/mulch.
Oooh talk dirty to meThat makes me more confident in Candolleomyces candolleanus (ex Psathyrella candolleana per Wätcher & Melzer 2020), but I would still like to see the hymenophore with stipe intact to be certain.
This is how ancient I am, a friend and I went to the library to look up which mushrooms would make us happy for a few hours and not the mushrooms which would make us sick for a few hours.
