Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if this spider is poisonous?

large enough to fit on a quarter ,sometimes even larger, almost looks fuzzy or furry from a distance, brown. In Florida, sometimes find 'em in the house or in the garden soil after tilling out new garden space. thanks!

Without a picture, I'd guess that you're seeing one of the common wolf spiders.

US wolf spiders are not poisonous. Australian wolf spiders are.
