That's not a cube, unless it's a totally messed up one. It looks like coprinus. The soggyness is the gills turning to liquid. It is not active, probably not edible.
T-ballz - I make this recommendation to a lot of noobs. Go out, read field guides, read everything on the internet. Get interested in mushroom hunting as a hobby. Learn to appreciate the characteristics of all mushrooms. Then, when you do come across an active you'll be a lot smarter. Simply finding a shroom in a cowfield and assuming it's a cube, just cause you want it to be - is pretty dangerous. Also, comparing pics is not enough to give you an idea. You must compare descriptions. Learn what a sporeprint is, learn what gill attachment means etc -- all of those terms that you likely skip over are the terms that can save your life.
Also, you have been on the shroomery long enough to know how to post a proper description. Two blurry pics with no mention of any other descriptive feature does nothing but piss people off.
Sorry for the harshness - but your next set of decisions can determine whether you will be a valueable member of the community, a drain on the community, or "that kid that ended up dead by eating the wrong mushroom." Shoot for option 1!!

You should do some more research before picking random wild mushrooms. That is nothing close to a cube. It is a beat down old coprinus specimen which will have a different spore print color, different shape/size, different texture, different habitat, and different gill characteristics.

See, if you did a little bit of learning about mushrooms, you'd think nothing of finding coprinus from horse dung.
READ AND LEARN!!!!

Pretty much. You should do some spore prints and create descriptions in your future posts, that makes it easier for people to take a more accurate guess and increases the chances someone will even be able to identify something.
