Habitat: Grows in only one spot I've found in a 70+ acre forest I hike through often; at the base of a coniferous tree. Ground is very covered in pine needles, very few leaves. Mushroom grows out of the ground refuse/dirt under the refuse (refuse meaning needles and such).
Region is Oregon, non coastal
Other info I don't have other than pictures:
-------------------- I'm going to be posting a slew of mushrooms local to my area... I'm doing my best with picture quality, but my camera isn't very good and only has autofocus, so please bear with me. I haven't taken any spore prints yet, as I'm new to the joy of mycology... I can always go back to get more information/prints if what I've given is not enough. http://www.happyhumans.org

Agaricus moelleri. I found tons of these today in Seattle. Will upload the pics to mushroomobserver.org in a few minutes.
If you scratch the base of the stem it turns yellow and smells like ink.

Are there multiple different kinds of these beyond the Agaricus moelleri name? I googled Agaricus moelleri and found the images that came up do like more I'm about to post in my forthcoming posts, and less like this one. This one has been growing distinctly differently from the others. I'll start posting those.
I do trust your judgement, I'm only asking these questions to learn more.

I have no idea. That's a question for DNA sequencing. If A. moelleri was described from far away, then it's likely to be different in reality.

I just mean when I google image search Agaricus moelleri it comes up with a few different kinds of mushrooms (visually speaking), all of which I'm running across in this forest. I just posted pictures of one that also looks like the Agaricus moelleri that came up in a google image search... am I making any sense?

You can't trust google image search, it comes up with all kinds of random crap.
Mushroomobserver is much more reliable.

Yeah, looking further into it I do see what you mean. Thanks for the link!
