Another Fungi ID Please

[Dano]

Got these growing in the garden this morning, wondered what they are and if they are safe with my kids around,

With all of the plant ID's on here there must be a way to catalogue them for an easy look up?

Thanks Dano

Do you have a dog, usually these grow where there has been dog pooh. I don't know the name but I always hoick them out and bin them.

i can't see the picture either.

I presume they are LBMs [little brown mushrooms] generally they are safe for children to play on, unless they are babies and put stuff in their months. Some little brown mushrooms are deadly poisonous but have to be injested (brown, with brown gills), some are hallucengenic (bruise purple), some are contain nerve poisons (white funnel shaped) but mostly they are harmless, and help break down nutrients for plants to use, and are just part of ecosystem. They can't harm children during normal play.
