I found this little patch in my neibors front lawn today. they're a little dry. I guess it rained a couple days ago but ive been out of town. here's what i got.

Habitat: Grass (bermuda) front lawn. some where in a cluster of 2 and 3 and the other four were located about a foot away
Gills: Dark Brown. close. seceding
Stem: Pretty strong. most of them are white at the bottom and turn dark brown as it gets closer to cap. one (as seen in picture) is very dark almost black. has a annulus(i think it would be called) located about an inch from where the attaches to the cap. stem is aboutabout 3-5 inches long
cap: the caps are a broadly umbonate shape with a dark colored nipple at the top. they are orangish brown around the center and get lighter farther out and mostly white around the outer edges.2 of them are uplifted and umbonate shaped but have same features otherwise. ranging from 2-5 inches diamater Spore print color: ive left the caps on white and black paper for 24 hours and have gotten absolutly nothing...any advice?
Bruising:possibly because of how dry they are i can see no brusing
Location: North GA (Gwinnett County) in Bermuta(sp?) grass
 the two discolored areas are where 2 other mushrooms were overlapping this one and i thought it was interesting
and is it harder to get spore prints the dryer the mushroom is? thanks for your help!

It's hard to tell because they're pretty dried, but I'd guess some type of lepiota or agaricus. Both are pretty common on lawns in the south after rains. Not active.

The rings on the stems say those are Lepiotas.
Lepiota is a tough genus for me - we don't have all that many species locally. Those are too small to be one of the usual edible species, so they should be treated as if they are deadly poison.
Happy mushrooming!
