Please understand this is coming from a concern for people's safety and not an attack against you.
Mycologists agree that LBMs (little brown mushrooms) are notoriously difficult to identify. Many little brown mushrooms ARE toxic.
There are a few species of mushrooms that look a lot like this but are extremely deadly. You simply do not have enough info to ID these mushrooms.
In order to id mushrooms you need at least:
Anyone who tries to identify a mushroom with any less than this is putting people at risk.
I get it but this is not an LBM and I did have the ability to identify this one with a degree of certainty I felt comfortable with. I have a lot more experience with this than I can demonstrate through a lemmy comment and a lot more went into ID than just looks. I even gave warning for what to avoid if it were one of the toxic ones.
