Need help identifying please
    #4811324 -

Hi. I found a mushroom and I need some help identifying it. I found it in my front lawn. Sorry, I dont have a photo. BUt i'll describe it as best as I can.

CAP: -very light brown, whitish brown, and whiter in the middle
-almost flat with smooth bumpy surface; no "nipple" in the centre
-daiameter of about 5.8 CM
-thickness of 1.5 CM in the middle

GILLS: -dark brown, almost like the color of burnt paper
-very close together

STEM: -same color as cap; light brown
-length of 5.5 CM
-width of 1.2 CM: fairly even top to bottom
-no ring on the stem

I found it on my front law in a small field of grass. There were no other mushrooms around it. There is a patch of flowers that is about 2 feet away from where the mushroom was.

I tried to do a sporeprint, but i'm not sure if I did it correctly. At first, i got a light brown spore print. After an hour when i take the cap (with the stem cut off) and press it against the white paper with my hand, it shows light brown in the middle and rusty brown but unlike before there is a very light pink hue as well.

I also sliced the cap. I saw the dark brown gills turn to gray and very light pinkish purple as it turned to whitish brown reaching the surface of the cap.

The bruised stem has a ring of dark gray ring and has browniish hue in its flesh.

Sorry for the long post. But if anyone can tell me what specieis it belongs to and if it is poisonous or not, it'll be very helpfull. Thanks.

that pink colour and the description reminds me of older agaricus, but that one should have a ring.
