It's a bolete of some sort - but there are lots of em
The putting the cap on white paper and covering with a glass bowl or
something for a while it will leave a spore print... the color of the
spore print is another indicator of its genus, if not species.
Is the soil sandy in your yard? got some everygreens around?

Thanks for looking, Ann. It didn't have gills, or much of a stem, and
the cap had the shape of a rock more than that of must times of
mushrooms I have seen.

we call them LBM's ( LIttle brown mushrooms...)
actually they dont look that little. but thats what 'sroom hunters call
a variety of fungi they can't id.
If you want to have even a good guess you needed to pluck one and turn it
upsidedown. another help is cutting off the stem, putting the fungi
underside down on a piece of white paper and let it sit overnight, or at
least for a while.
Good to know what it was growing on. if it is spongy underneath instead
ofhaving gills it is likely some sort of bolete - which doesn't mean it is
edible.
It looks a bit like a bolete from the places where the critters bit.
still, with all that, you wouldn't be able to get it down to species.

Apparently, some critter in the yard thought it looked tasty:

Comments, and help in identifying these tumorous growths, will be
appreciated.
