Looks like it, but there are a few of these that closely resemble each other. Crosssection one and see if it bruises. A. campestris will bruise red/pink a little here and there, while the look alikes will bruise yellow. Know these mushrooms if you plan on eating them, there are some that can make you pretty sick.

i bet you are right coon i good trick is to smell usually the 0ne that have yellow stain like a. xanthodermos smell like bleach or oidine , and the odor of a. campestris more like bitorquis clssical champinog and xantodermos never form button like that in your pictures tend to rise up quik have a good meal thas a good indication that raini seasom is starting in my area chao

im purdy sure them mushies grow on my park... in australia ^_^ they like... hardly even 3cm off the ground? tho i think mine actually had a square cap (2 / 3 of em had a squareish cap, and it wasnt from deformation from growing too close to eachother o.0)

No bugs in there? If it's not staining yellow and doesn't smell bad, then chances are it's a good guy. Enjoy, but only in moderation. Some people are sickened by even the tasty wild Agaricuseses.

The slow, faint yellowing is a sign of A. californicus. This mushroom will also have a ring with 2 ridges.
Take a look at the ring coon. That should really help you out.

I think A. californicus are only found out west.here is a better pic of the print and darkened gill color.print looked grayish brown in the poor light of my dwelling,outside in the sun it looks pinkish brown.
here is slight yellow bruising on cross section of the stipe?
here is a side shot of the ring in question.doesnt appear to be ridged.

Don't let the name fool you, californicus grows everywhere in north america.
That doesn't appear to be it though. Therefore, i'd guess arvensis.

i love to eat then when the gills are pink sometimes you can found few red drops in the gills in some especies is more common like silvatyca and augustus, your mushrooms should ve showing by now the yellow stain mark and the smell so caracteristical of unendible agaricus , when you found mo0re you can eat then fresh and pink when they beging to produce spores the taste change but some like it more
