Spore color is not given in the picture, gill color is
Any smell associate with them? Possible strongest at the base?

Second pic shows chocolate brown spores. Which was actually a bit superfluous, as the first pic leaves very little doubt that those are an agaricus species.
Good question regarding the smell. Also note any bruising reactions.
At first glance I'd say those should be perfectly edible btw.

So I'm guessing that this is a double ring in the first pic. In the second pic you get a close up of light pink colored gills The third pic is the close up of a button top The last pic shows some texturing on the stem The mushroom did give off an anise like smell and there wasn't any notable bruising on the stem

Gotcha... Second OP picture was dark and could not tell if that was spores or darkening of the cap.
Agaricus sp. And nice specimens too. Be interested in what species....
