It's the "don't eat it" variety. Mushroom ID over the internet is not helpful. Treat any mushroom you don't personally recognize as an LBM. Period.

Pedant here. You can touch this mushroom, just don't eat it!

To have a better understanding we would have to see the base of the mushroom and the gills.

Might be Amanita, might be Agaricus.

P.S. You can touch the mushroom safely, just don't eat it.

Here is an image of gills. No idea if the animals will touch this so I've just put them in the bin.

This looks like Agaricus Campestris. Should be edible. But in doubt, you are right to throw it away.

Would also be helpful if you rip off the cap and put it face down on a piece of white paper. The spores will fall and the color of the print is an identity indicator
