Agaricus Campestris?
    #19044595 - 10/28/13 07:36 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat:
Found in grass on a local park.

Gills:
Were pink, but browned off. When I found it, the larger mushroom had pink gills but some had browned.

Stem:
2 inches tall, 2-3cm thick. Had a veil, bulbous base.

Cap:
From 5cm to 10 cm. I saw a bit of yellowing, so I did a bruise test on some of the cap and stem but there was no yellow so this is not Agaricus xanthodermus.

Spore print color:
Brown, quite dark.

Pictures:




I'm pretty sure this is campestris, but I've never found them before so I thought I'd ask on here for your opinion to make sure. Are there any ways of efficiently identifying this mushroom? I don't wanna do this! :badshroom:

Thanks, Charles.

Agaricus yea, A. campestris, I don't think so.  The veil looks too persistent and the stem too firm.  Is that yellow staining on the caps?  It doesn't have to be immediate and fleeting like A. xanthodermus.  Some Agaricus have slower persistent yellow staining too.  What do they smell like?

Its only a slight yellow on the cap and I'm not too sure if it was brusing because it was on there when I found the mushroom. The smell isn't very noticable, buut what I do get smells just like bisporus.

It's been a day, so I'm gonna shamefully bump this in hope someone can tell me which agaricus this is, or how to find out.

Looks pretty yellow on the caps to me. And that is indeed the bruising
Byrain was talking about.

It can be difficult to get it to a species.

Here is an ID key that can help you get to what it is.

I would imagine that what you have are poisonous.

Cut a stem off and put it in a skillet. Cook it. If it smells like chemicals do not eat it.

If it doesn't you should be ok.

This key is for Eastern North America.
