ID Request - Interesting Find

Please let me start this post by saying that I've been lurking here a long time and I enjoy looking at all of your finds! I am not a hunter myself, but this was too strange to pass up. I did some looking into it myself, and I think it's either Crucibulum Laeve or Urnula Craterium. My guess is for the first one, but the little black baby shrooms made me think it might be the second one. Then again, I have no idea, so I could be wrong and that's okay.
Habitat: Found in South Florida near Miami in red wood mulch outside my office by some bushes and decorative grass.
Gills: Unknown. I don't see any gills.
Stem: Non-existent?
Cap: 3 inches from side to side, very firm texture, smooth. It's kinda shaped like a cup.
Spore print color: I have no idea unless the stuff inside the inverted cap is the spores and not dirt. If that stuff isn't dirt, and it is spores, then they're dirt brown.
Bruising: No noticeable bruising.
Other information: The mushroom smells like a mushroom. I found some small, black mushrooms near it that looked like little babies of this one, but they were black and not brown.
Here's the pics. I did the best I could, but it was super humid outside and the camera kept fogging up on my phone.
Where it was found:

The top/inside:

The bottom:

The babies:


I picked the shroom and have it here in a ziploc baggie. I don't plan on eating it, but I am damn curious to know what it is.

Thanks for the ID! 
I looked it up and that probably explains why I was sneezing a lot after I picked it and smelled the bottom.
