Found some morels and oysters here in Illinois, but cant figure this one out by googling. Was growing by itself on a log. Based on what you folks say I'm hoping my own research might be more fruitful!

I'm not a mushroom guy. Hopefully somebody comes along that is.
I always figured that until I knew what NOT to touch, I don't handle any of them....

would be helpful to positively identify it if I got new your state, and where specifically you got it from, and if it was growing on something in particular.
At 1st glance it look like a Pluteus Cervinus, also known as Pluteus Atricapillus and also called Deer Mushroom, Deer Shield Mushroom, or Fawn Mushroom.
BUT
when it comes to mushrooms, it is the one thing I will never forage. Even the slightest feature could mean it is a different species, and although Deer Mushrooms are edible, others are extremely poisonous.
edit: that information would help, but I do not have the authority to 100% positively identify mushrooms.
