Its hard to say for sure from those pics but this might be Agaricus augustus.

Check the spore print color and let us know.

Also what do they smell like?

Can you take some pics of the whole mushroom, carefully dig up the whole stem...

Ooooh!  A project!  I will get right on it!  it is only down the street.  Also in the base of the stem when I pulled it up it seemed to be rotted and there were these lil white worms eating away at the base.  Kinda gross and I am not sure if that is normal or healthy?  Chat later thanks again and again and again!  Are you the only moderater on here er what?  lol

I am thinking it could be this one

http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Agaricus_augustus.html

What do you think?  Its kind of hard to ID mushrooms that are still in the button stages.

Can you describe the smell in more detail, I have never tried those breadsticks. 

Are any of them old enough for the gills to start changing color or drop spores?  Are they staining yellow?

Wow I think those are it!  They have a sweet almond smell to them as for anise I am not sure what that smells like I might have to check that out.  And it did say that they are frequently infested with fly Larva which one of them did have lil worms eating away at the bottom of the stem!  And I did find them in the park but under a juniper tree (I am pretty sure its a juniper) which the link provided no reference to junipers.  Could a Juniper tree change the properties of the fungi whether it be edible or not?  Hmmm??  No staining yellow that I know of and they are all buttons.  They had just cut the grass at the park like two days ago.  So in a few days I may be able to post pic of them a little bit more mature!  They do smell delicious though!!  I hope no one mows over them or some lil kid comes and destroys them......LOL  Because I know as a kid I used to love to break things and be destructive!  :grrr: I dunno why?  I just did...... So should I wait for them to grow open and drop spores so I can eat more later or should I just pick em before the fly larva eat them up?  There was some recipes at that link i might try! Thanks alot!  Very helpful!  :biggrin:

I'd pick most of the buttons and refridgerate them. But leave a couple to mature and take a spore print to confirm that they are an Agaricus, the almond smell is a very good sign.

Yes almond odor is good, poisonous species of agaricus smell like chemicals/bleach.

Would say Agaricus Augustus is almost a definite. Had some of these IDed for myself not too long back, looked exactly like yours during pin stages and had that strong almondy scent to them

Could be: I have Agaricus augustus or Agaricus subrufescens coming up in the yard now :smile: They have a wonderful almond aroma and this is the first time they've reappeared since Sept. 2006!
