SE Pennsylvania Want help with this Agaricus species

#29655640 - 08/26/26 04:40 PM (1 month, 5 days ago)

* Habitat - Growing in a yard. Closest to decidious trees, they may have been locust trees, Some conifers were further away.
* Location - South East Pennsylvania
* Gills - Looks almost free, brown.
* Stem - Do not remember a bulbous base.
* Spore print color - In progress, will update when ready.
* Scent of the mushroom - Typical mushroom smell. Defiently not like antiseptic.
* Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged - Only stem bruses brown when handled.
* Comments - I am thinking A. Placomyces but did not have any smell and only stem brused yellow.

Does the yellow turn brown after 10 - 15 minutes?

I do not think it did but can not say with positivity. I only have the cap left and that does not stain at all. BTW it left a dark brown spore print with seemingly brown guttation on top of the cap when it was leaving a spore print.
