Digging up a chunky Agaricus mushroom!

Digging up a chunky Agaricus I found while doing some chores around the house. We live out in the plains, so most of the mushrooms we get are saprobic species like this agaricus, puffballs, and coprinoids.

This one was an edible species, but was a little too buggy for me to eat, so I spread it around the area to hopefully make more. It took me a couple years to get comfortable with Agaricus identification to the point of knowing which ones to eat. I always find it fascinating how important their odor is for identification. I think it's just a cool way to ID mushrooms!
