Greetings Shroomery! I haven't posted before but I have been reading your site for years. I went picking chanterelles and hedgehog mushrooms out in Western Washington this weekend, and on my way home stopped and found these mushrooms. Not sure if they are "magic," but I was hoping you all might be able to take a look!
Habitat: These were growing on well-manicured lawn near a parking lot. Woodchips near the edges of some of the pieces of lawn, but the mushrooms were only growing in the grass.

Gills: The gills are the same dull brown as the rest of the mushroom. I am not entirely sure how to describe them, but they don't connect to the stem. Based on the little diagrams on this Wikipedia page, I'd say they are either free or adnexed.

Stem: Stems are an inch to several inches long, and just a few millimeters thick. They are hollow and a slightly lighter brown than the caps. Squishy, but they don't seem to bruise any particular color.
Cap: Most of the caps are .5 to an inch in diameter, spherical, smooth. Many have a small dimple on top of the cap.
Spore print color: Dark brown. See photo:

Bruising: Seem to bruise a slightly darker brown color.
Other information: Warm, musky odor. Found in patches of about 5, many patches in a small area.
Thanks everyone!

Tubaria sp. is my best guess. Possibly T. fufuracea.

I could see it. The inverted umbo kinda throws me off.
