field mushrooms
Wild edible caps
Field mushrooms are wild mushrooms of the genus *Agaricus*, closely related to the common cultivated button mushroom.
They grow in pastures, meadows, and grassy areas, typically appearing after rain in late summer and autumn.
With white caps, pink-to-brown gills, and a mild flavor, they're prized for foraging: We found field mushrooms in the meadow this morning.
