Re: Which agaricus is this?

I can see what you mean, because the stem looks unusually long and thin. But both Agaricus and Macrolepiota have free gills, so the gill attachment doesn't help. Looking at the ring can give more of a clue and here it looks much more like the ring of an Agaricus, as has been suggested. Of course, a nice spore print would have been the clincher. But these are Agaricus.
