    Meadow Mushroom?

    Hello all, I am back again with some rather drab finds from Southeastern PA. I came upon these playing frisbee in a ball field at night. They were close together, found maybe 4 or 5 total. Guessing they're edible? Pics and spore print attached. Thanks guys!

    Meadow mushrooms will bruise a light red in some areas after being picked and handled. They do appear to be Agaricus though. I wouldn't eat them.

    The more I look at those the more I lean toward Agrocybe.

    This looks like a decent match.

    A. molesta grows in grass unlike other Agrocybe's.
