Agaricus subrufescens atop ahi tuna

I found these Agaricus subrufescens growing nearby. One ended up being bid riddled; the other was good to go. I sautéed it in butter and used the resulting butter to pan sear some ahi tuna. Was very delicious. I would recommend cooking ahi in olive oil rather than butter; it's all I had at the house today.
The one mushroom wasnt really enough for that meal, but was great either way. When I took a couple of those mushroom pieces and half of a piece of tuna, dip in in soy/wasabi, it was flavorful. First you get the salty, spicy flavor. Then comes the meat texture and flavor. Lastly there was a subtle taste of the mushrooms as the aftertaste. If you were just scarfing the food down, you would miss he mushroom taste altogether.
Pm me if you want an ahi tuna recipe

How did you identify that mushroom?
It does not look like A.subrufescens

Those pics were taken under a yellow light. They were white as can be and bruised yellow.

They look like Agaricus in the link.
It is not a good idea to eat "button" Agaricus unless you are 100 percent confident on identification.
They can be difficult to distinguish from some Amanitas that grow in the same habitat. And some yellow staining Agaricus will make you sick.
If you are "a general almond lumper" make absolutely sure it smells like almonds. The buttons are very good of all the almond Agaricus I have eaten. (augustus, arvensis and subrufescens)

How can I go about learning more info on this? I assumed it was the subs since they grew right next to each other. I bought a guide, but it doesn't even mention subs.

Nm! I did some more reading. I didn't realize there were so many Agaricus that were so close of look a likes to each other. I won't eat anymore of these. If I ate a bad one, how bad would I get sick and how long would it be before I notice symptoms? What symptoms?

Mushroom demystified is an easy and well written guide specific to California. It is useful for many areas.
Join you local mushroom club.
I would not rely on the internet alone for identification of unknown species you plan to consume.

I have heard of people eating types of agaricus which are known to be poisonous without ill effect. If you did get sick from eating an agaricus, it would just be gastrointestinal distress.

It's been over 24 hours and I feel fine. It probably was a good one to eat, buti don't need to be assuming it is ok just because it grew right beside the other good ones. My dad burned off some leaves right there yesterday while I was out. It burned up the old patch I was leaving to distribute spores. Would that small fire sterilize the area, or just kill them off for now and possibly this year?
