Deconica?
Looks like a psilocybe, and the spore print is the right colour but I couldn't see any bruising. Wait for a TI

It appears to be Psilocybe weilii/caerulescens

Thanks for the info guys!  So, if this happens to be Weilii...what can I do to the area that I found them in to "encourage" more growth/flush..anything specific that could help?

Did you find just one?

If it is in your yard, water that spot.

Not in my yard...neighbor's (we're cool)...I found 3 yesterday about 1-2' a part from each other.  Went back this morning and there is another one that popped up.  I think their lawn has irrigation and it's watered twice a week.  Is that enough or should I run over and water that area for safe measures.  The only downfall is that they do have a landscape company at their house once a week.  So, I'll have to stay on my toes to keep a look out for these lil' gems before they get chewed up by a mower.

This only applies so far since they have that landscaping company coming regularly. I personally would try to make sure that the landscapers never saw these, most of them would try to kill them off regardless of species and potential harm to the entire environment by reduction of the mycelial mat. In my experience most landscaping companies are either unaware of the importance of fungal growth to the health of an environment (If you are not aware of the importance, it is the most important element in the life cycle of an entire environment since it is how dead matter is converted to soil usable to plants. The local fungi are also necessary to the healthy development of all plants through mychorrizal and endophytic relationships plants, forms of symbiosis.) or, and this is atrocious if true, they know the importance and purposely suppress or destroy fungal growth so that the plants they plant or maintain need as much care as possible thereby increasing their business.

I have worked in horticulture for 20yrs

I have had to use many a fungicide :frown:

Most trees and shrubs survive fungal attacks but

Pythium and Brown Patch can be detrimental to a lawn.
