Jeff Falcone Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 These were growing on a lawn in Maine. The gills start out white then turn pinkish and then chocolate brown. I’m assuming spores are brown and this is an Agaricus sp. stems are hollow and split vertically easily. They have little hair like structures all along the stem. Veil remnants hang from the margin loosely on some. Caps have very thin flesh - almost all gill. Some caps have small white bumps but most don’t. They smell just like A. bisporus from the grocery store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I agree with Jeff. The new name for Psathyrella candolleana is Candolleomyces candolleanus. The way one eliminates genus Agaricus from consideration is that the gills are attached to the stalk. All Agaricus mushrooms have free gills.
