Just discovered these. I am generally wary of mushrooms I can’t identify 100%, especially ones growing in my garden. But these look exactly like yours regular white mushrooms from Lidl, albeit slightly lighter in colour.
After quick google and looking around here I didn’t find an answer, so I’m going to ask. Is it possible that they are those mushrooms? They don’t smell much of anything, maybe slightly sweet.
How likely is it that edible mushrooms randomly spawned in my garden?

What do the gills look like? Pull the stalk away and post another pic
It’s possible but if I were you I’d want a very solid ID on them. There are a lot of white mushrooms and some, such as Destroying Angel, are deadly.
post in r/mycology with more pics of the lawn and the overall mushroom structure
Second confirming in the other sub. Looks like field mushrooms to my still learning eye (read: absolutely don’t take my word for it 😂), which yes is related to supermarket button mushrooms. Though sweet smell suggests maybe these are young Horse mushrooms (aniseed smell?) https://www.wildfooduk.com/mushroom-guide/horse-mushroom-2/ . Gills should turn from pink to brown with age and when cut the flesh should remain white. If stains yellow on cut that’s a no. If gills are white that’s a no.
If you do get a positive ID and start chomping on then always be aware other mushrooms may also grow in the same area, and you’ll need to know how to differentiate them from poisonous lookalikes.
Don’t eat that shit

If you want your own personal supply, buy a growing kit or go on a course and learn how to ID mushrooms.
These do look like field mushrooms, but the stork looks large, almost giving it a bolete vibe. As a rule, never eat mushrooms unless you can make a 100% ID or you have someone with you who can provide it.
Do a spore print and show a picture of it on a mycology forum
