ID Help: Bright White Mushroom, Dark Brown Spore Print
    #5730229 -

I found a few of these mushrooms. Here is the note I made on them:

This very white mushroom seems to be a loner which grows
in sunny patches of green grass. I can usually spot
thier white caps peaking out making a stark contrast to
the green. The caps of these mushrooms are silky smooth.
I found these in early June after getting a healthy dose
of rain. One I found near a pile of compost composed
primarily of horse manuer and wood shavings. Another, I
found behind the house by our terrace, And yet another I
found in the horse pastuer. The only shade they seemed to
be getting was from the grass surrounding their stalk. I
can say the grass was no longer than 10" to 12" high. The
mushroom it's self is no bigger than 4" And I never find
more than one. Altogether, these mushrooms were probably
found at least 60-150 yards apart. Thier spore print is
dark brown, almost black. They were found in the northeastern
region of Maryland.

In the wild:


Scale, next to a standard pill bottle. About 3" long.

The little white Agrocybe are a harbinger of summer around here... perhaps the most common cosmopolitan mushroom in my neck of the woods. Lately I've been noticing large numbers of A. praecox fruitbodies in parks and yards. I wouldn't necessarily say yours are praecox however… I think they look like a different species perhaps. One thing to keep in mind with mushrooms is the huge variation in appearance among like species. For the purpose of a firm identification ideally you want a handful of fruitbodies in different stages of development. Noting how the mushroom is attached to the substrate can be important with certain genera and species as well… e.g. is a species of Agrocybe that forms sclerotium.

My first thought is Agrocybe as well.
