Olá Rubes, Apareceu por aqui tb um cogumelo depois dos dias de chuva. Coloquei fotos dele fechado e depois aberto no dia seguinte. Depois passa lá para dar uma olhada! Luciana

Thanks shebebusynow, Let's wait for more rain to see another one and collect more details.

Agaricus seems pretty hard to identify. This looks a bit like Agaricus subrutilescens, but the margin is so widely dark I'd rule that ID out. How it smells and whether it stains some color when it's bruised or cut seems to help the ID. I agree it is definitely an Agaricus sp.

Hi Corduneanu, thanks for the ID. I think it's not an old one. When I took this picture it was about 2 days old. It "dies" after one week.

Is looks like an old specimen of Agaricus Campestris, but not realy sure. What I'm sure of is that this is an Agaricus Sp. Mushroom.
