Habitat: On a farm, possibly on cow dung (there are cows around but usually fenced), probably on guinea bird dung
Gills: whitish, attached?
Stem: of the two i photographed, one has cap the size of coke can and stem length of pencil but slightly thicker; the one growing right next to it is smaller but with similar dimensions
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.rounded but not too much so, please see pictures
Spore print color: Very important! not sure?
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any. none that i noticed?
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.
three pictures, two close up and one by ziploc bag for size comparison

Looks like Chlorophyllum molybdites. If so, toxic.

If you'd like to take a spore print (probably not necessary on this one, someone who knows the species will likely be able to ID it from the information already provided, but it's fun to do and looks cool if nothing else  <- started typing this before those two posts above, lol) remove the stem where it meets the cap and place the cap gills down on a sheet of paper or foil, leave for a few hours or overnight and ta-da! Also, if you'd like to check bruising press firmly on the stem and wait to see if the color changes or if you cut the mushrooms check the exposed area at the base when you check them. Some species bruise more quickly, some bruise blue, some bruise brown, some don't bruise at all; whatever the outcome, mention it in your post.
Also, where are you generally located? Region, state, something general is fine. (Also written before the other posts, though if you'd still like to include your location, others may suggest species to be on the lookout for, though the following link will also allow you to do the same thing on your own if you'd like) There is an informational post that will help you find active species.
Thank you for making a quality post. The photos are especially clear. 
Oh and welcome to the Shroomery!!
