Extract from Wikipedia article: Agaricus campestris is a widely eaten gilled mushroom closely related to the cultivated button mushroom Agaricus bisporus. It is commonly known as the field mushroom or, in North America, meadow mushroom.
Agaricus campestris is a species of edible mushroom that grows in fields, meadows, and other grassy areas. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to September, often in large numbers after rainfall. In north-western Russia, it is commonly found in similar habitats, including urban parks and lawns, with a preference for well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. The fungus has a cap that ranges from 3-6 cm in diameter, initially bell-shaped and later becoming flat, with a brown to reddish-brown color and pinkish-brown gills.
