Meadow mushrooms (Agaricus campestris) are the edible wild cousin of the white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus).
Meadow mushrooms can be identified by their pink gills that turn dark brown with age and their dark brown spore print. The mushroom should not turn yellow when handled and should not be growing from a vulva.
Meadow mushrooms are found in sunny, grassy areas. Be sure the area was not treated with herbicides before consuming!
