Absolute unit on the west coast
Banana for scale. I was a little late to the party as it looks like something munched on it.
Found beside our raised garden bed on Vancouver Island. Not sure species, any guesses from the experts out there?
This is my first photo posted on Lemmy so excuse the amateur effort.

I'm not a mycologist, but it looks a bit like a pavement mushroom I found in Norway. But that looks bigger. Probably something like agaricus arvensis, but I'm not a mycologist and only have a slight interest in the field. The real answer is it's probably an agaricus of some type or another, but don't eat it.
agaricus was my thought too
Thanks for your input and narrowing it down to agaricus. Agaricus augustus seems more prevalent in our area and matches the description on local online sites. This species is apparently edible but I'm afraid this particular one is well past its prime picking time.
