I had a tree cut down but left the stump. I get mushrooms about half
a foot across. I don't touch them but I think they look pretty cool:

Looks like edible Collybia butyracea. See:

Looks like Mica cap mushrooms. Turns into black ink. Not poisonous, but not
good to eat. See: http://foragingpictures.com/plants/Mica_cap/

Yep, they leave a large black spot after a while.

The lawn does especially well where they grow.
