In sandy soil against the base of a planted callistemon in lawn. Suburban.

Notes:

Until I know more about these I will quote here what Wikipedia says about LBM's or 'little brown mushrooms'... [quote] "Little brown mushroom" (or LBM) refers to any of a large number of small, dull-coloured agaric species, with few macromorphological uniquely distinguishing characteristics. As a result, LBMs typically range from difficult to impossible for mushroom hunters to identify. Experienced mushroomers may discern more subtle identifying traits that help narrow the mushroom down to a particular genus or group of species, but exact identification of LBMs often requires close examination of microscopic characteristics plus a certain degree of familiarity or specialization in that particular group. For mycologists, LBMs are the equivalent of LBJs ("little brown job") and DYCs ("damned yellow composite") that are the bane of ornithologists and botanists, respectively. "Big white mushroom" (or BWM) is also sometimes used to describe groups of difficult to identify larger and paler agarics, many of which are in the genus Clitocybe.... [end quote]
