Green-spored parasol mushrooms, Chlorophyllum molybdites, are super-common and grow in grass. If you've seen a ring or arc of handsome mushrooms with brown scales in your yard, it's probably Chlorophyllum molybdites.
Green-spored parasols are toxic but not deadly. Eating them can cause nasty gastrointestinal upset, and they're responsible for more poisonings than any other mushroom in North America. They can be deadly to dogs. Some adventurous people-by which I mean not me-boil and then cook them safely, but most folks avoid eating them.
Key ID features:
Cap: White with curly dark brown scales, rapidly turning cream or brown
Gills: White when young, turning dingy gray-green when mature
Spores: Oscar the Grouch green and powdery, changing the mature gills from creamy-white to gray-green
Stem: Mostly brown, though young mushrooms have pale stems
Ring: Felty, double ring on the stem that's tough enough to play with and has a cool-looking jagged ridge in the middle.
