I apologize for my mistake, we had what we call "pinks" or meadow mushroom, Agaricus campestris in our lawn, and not the fawn or Pluteus cervinus, also known as Pluteus atricapillus. We did find a few "possible" fawns up at our camp, but like your experience, we weren't positive on those either, and didn't try them. I'd be interested to try the fawns, but as of now, we are only trying 100% positive id'd varieties. So far we have only been brave enough for morels, puffball, chicken of the woods, lion's mane, pinks, and crown corals.
