Nice! Never seen Agarici quite so bunched as that. Not sure which one it is. :smile:

I agree that it's an agaricus.  I never ID them to species.  If it does not smell objectionable and does not yellow, it is edible.  I usually spray a little bit of a base on a fragment of them to make sure that does not turn it yellow - KOH, NaOH, or a common household base (like any cleaner with ammonia) would all work.  (Some inedible agaricus only turn yellow easily in the presence of a base.)

Whether it yellows or not is irrelevant. If it doesn't smell like poster paint or watercolour paint or fountain pen ink or however you wish to describe that smell, it's edible.

Looks like some of those are still in the button stage (intact veil). Can you post a pic of one of the unopened buttons sliced lenghtwise?  Might help some of the smarter members here.

I've only found an eaten wild agaricus campestris, so I'm just thinking on my feet here.  The genus is way tough to characterize down to species, at least for the likes of me.

Perhaps something similar to Agaricus impudicus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_impudicus

Said to be from NZ and it looks like it has a cespitose habit from the pic on the wiki page.

I'm guessing Hemimycena sp.

EDIT: The habitat also seems to match for A. impudicus

Honestly, I just have problems smelling good agaricus from bad agaricus.  Section Xanthodermati is lutescent but in my area often latently so, and many times I can't tell via smell alone, so lutescence is a valuable characteristic for me.  You are right that section Arvenses is lutescent and edible, but they smell actively delicious enough that I can recognize 'em.  I should have clarified more in my original post, but it slipped my mind.

They're hard to pull the out of the substrate as their stems are super viscid. Your fingers end up slipping and all you end up with is the cap.
