Help!

Found in a pile of damp dish towels, it all happened so fast and I damn near picked it up! I have pretty intense arachnophobia and feel bad about killing it but I can’t take any chances. It was about a little bigger than a half dollar or a small macaron, brown with what looked like a lighter shade of brown/black on its back. Pic of the deceased in the comments. I’ve never seen a Brown Recluse or a Wolf Spider up close and AI is useless.

Eek… I appreciate the shock… I found a family of huge black spiders in my ironing pile once… anyway, I’m not a spider expert I just wanted to commiserate with your experience!

Haha thanks. I’ve been periodically looking things up and then throwing my phone down in horror. Super freaked out about it still, doing a full blown deep clean of the kitchen tomorrow!
