Possible Misidentification (Comment if you want to correct me):
My IDs also suggested Leucoagaricus leucothites, but Chlorophyllum molybdites looked a lot similar to these lawn mushrooms. “It is easily identified if you have mature specimens in hand, since it has a distinctive greenish spore print and, in old age, greenish gills. If you do not have a mature specimen available, however, you may be hard pressed to reach a confident identification; young specimens have white gills and can be nearly inseparable from the very similar Chlorophyllum rhacodes.” (Kuo, n.d.). I will use Chlorophyllum molybdites as my reference for this mushroom species.

How I Do My Research:
I heavily rely on a park's details or an organization that has the information on the plants. It would be a pdf file, on their website, a brochure, etc. inaturalist, Picture Mushroom and PlantNet are great identifying tools.
