Unidentified from lawn, help needed please

[Bill S]

Hi folks

These are growing in my lawn, I think it's an agaricus. Size of cap of the largest one in the shot is is about 5cm, stem is 8cm. Spore print is rust brown.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bill

I would start by looking at the possibility of Agrocybe praecox - Spring Fieldcap.

That would be my guess too given the cracked cap surface. If you keep a look out in the borders in the car parks of local superstores, you often see large numbers of these.

Thirded upon immediate sight!

I wish I'd had the courage of my convictions now as, on checking a few books, I had that down as a tentative ID, but didn't note it in my post. Many thanks all.
