Looks like something from the Agaricus family. Does it bruise yellow?

[FancyPants]

yeah yellowy brown. The gills have gone brown. I know they're not p. species lol, I'm just trying to get a better tactical and first hand unerstanding of all the types of fungus in the local area

well FP

not trying to be a dick but most identifications are not done well here..

the OP has to try and describe the mushroom as better as he can, like books do.

I think those might not be all the same species

for boletales, the colours, stem descriptions, stem base is very important

same with agaricus sp, which these seem to be... stem base is an important ID key

as are yellowings, which might indicate toxic species

Agarius sp are not the easiest genus to ID to species.. its easy to do so in genus level though..

me personally use my smell a lot when picking agaricus: so I might pick agaricus for food, while not determining the exact Agaricus species, simply by the smell... this is a more advanced "technique" though...

I see something in these pics that could be something other than agaricus though

yep definately...

4th from the left (first pic) is indeed not an Agaricus, it's a Leucoagaricus.
