Looks like you've got some Agaricus species there. The spore print should be more of a dark, chocolately brown. There are some good edible species in the genus, and a few that will cause mild poisoning. Most of the poisonous ones have a terrible, chemical-like smell. They also tend to bruise yellow. To check for bruising in an Agaricus, slice the stem down the middle, and then scrape the inside of it with a knife or something pretty hard. Bruising will appear over an hour.

Some of the good edible ones bruise a bit reddish or maroon. I suspect that is what you have, probably Agaricus arvensis. You can find more info at mushroomexpert.com

Great pictures and descriptions, welcome to the shroomery.

i agree with xmush on his agaricus ID. Definately not a cubensis, though they can be fooling when hunting.

Thank you! And it was my pleasure to put together the description report, the instructions are crystal clear and I felt confident that I was going to get accurate assistance because of that. Thanks, I love the site!
