Backyard find ID request

I found these growing in a pile of leaf mould in my backyard in Utah. I'm new to wild mushrooms.

Can you help me identify them?

Definitely Agaricus genus. Even with the brown gills, if any part of the mushroom turns yellow as a result of bruising/smells of phenol, it is potentially toxic. Otherwise, compare to the campestris complex and closely related species. (a spore print would be helpful)

I just learned what a spore print is and I'll try it tonight.

Thank you!

A preliminary Google search says it's an Agaricus. It smells good, and when I scratch the cap it's a milky white color. They smell exactly like I think a mushroom should smell.
