  1. Attention Lisa.
    Sorry I am having some problems doing it differently.
    No I didn’t do a spore print and hope that the gill formation image helps.

    1. Thank you for adding the additional shot! It helps a lot. I'm thinking this is Agaricus sp. It looks like the gills were initially a creamy color. The spores have dropped on the gills (giving it this brownish appearance). Macrolepiota has white/cream gills with white spores and would not leave this spore drop. The stipe also looks different from what I've seen in Macrolepiota.

      What do you think?
