Some kind of mildly poisonous Agaricus. Check out the genus at mushroomexpert.com

Using my Feild guide to nort american mushys (by the audobon society) My guess is it's agaricus arvensis. Looks identical to the pic and fits perfect. book says it's choice edibility but i'm nervous about eating it...how can i get a positive ID?

Generally yellow staining species are considered a no no, not the case with arvensis. I don't know about certainty, and I take it you don't have a camera, so i'm not going to be able to say anything with certainty. All I can suggest is keying it out in whatever books you have available and on web sites, paying attention to all the little details. Be objective.
If you are nervous I would strongly recommend against eating it (the same recommendation would apply even if you weren't nervous).
Agaricus can be a little tricky.

I would toss it... You didn't mention gill attachment either... an important feature to note with Agaricus.
There will be more mushrooms, don't rush it. :stoned:

Really hard to tell gill attachment...pressed up against the stalk but after pull the stipe out of the cap it looks like they're free:confused:. This is the most i've ever been sure about a positive ID. but i guess it is best not to chance it....shame...there were like 40-50 of these growing...:(

I have heard that many of the poisonous agaricus species smell bad (chemical odor), and that the odor gets very strong if you slice it up and put it in a hot pan. I wouldn't go just on that though, unless you don't mind shitstorms. Once you ID a few species of Agaricus, you'll start to figure it out. Some are easy and others are tricky. I brought a little Agaricus to the last SF mycological society meeting, and the experts spent 5 minutes looking at it with a magnifying glass before they finally decided it was Agaricus bitorquis. They spent most of their time looking at the ring, and I was not confident enough in their ID to eat it.
