Interesting. It's possible I suppose although it was growing in someone's front lawn.

I wish I got some better photos of the gills but didn't want to be creepy walking up in someone's yard LOL!

Definitley Agaricus - but the PNW & Cali have a lot of pretty similar looking species... I find them hard to tell apart without having a guide handy when actually looking at them and smell/bruising color can be important..

I don't know if mushroom compost was popular this year or if it was just a favorable conditions, but tons of people had Agaricus popping up in their lawns and landscaping up here this fall.. (I'm up in WA).

Disclaimer - I'm just a hobbyist and cannot absolutely guarantee any ID offered. I'm most familiar with the species found in the Pacific Northwest - those found in other parts of the world may vary considerably, so always do your own research to find out what grows in your area and what lookalikes you need to be aware of. Understand that many mushroom species cannot be 100% reliably identified by photographs alone, even by an expert, so it may not be possible to go beyond suggesting a probable genus.

I went for a short walk at a nearby park yesterday and saw A LOT of these growing. Some sp. of stark white agaric growing in fairy rings as well. It looks like they are popping off in California now.

I have no interest in collecting them since there are some extremely toxic varieties but its fun finding them.

There are no "extremely toxic" "varieties" of agaricus. There's only one agaricus species that might be lethal and it's only found in Africa. There's one poisonous one found in the us, a.xanthodermus, which is can make some people sick. This one is not it and it's probably a very good edible. Pick it up and smell it next time you see it 😀

If you cut the stems and they smell like almonds it could be agaricus Augustus.  Those were all over the place last year and they get really big.

That's good to know! I'm learning so much from you all. I believe I had agarics and amanitas confused when writing that.

I will definitely give that a try!
