Agaricus campestris : Meadow Mushroom
Close relation to the common store bought button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, these mushrooms are delicious and can be found in abundance in fields and meadows. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK this isn't a poisonous mushroom though like Agaricus xanthodermus! MAKE SURE IT ISN'T a very young DESTROYING ANGEL (death will follow)
