Growing in duff (maybe woodchips)
My comment: These look different from the common Agrocybe praecox
Possibility: Psilocybe apelliculosa or Psilocybe subviscida

Sava Says: Psylocybe have darker spores (purplish-brown) and slender stems.
This looks like Agrocybe to me.
Since the veil seems to be consistently absent,
Agrocybe putaminum would be a serious possibiity

Mikes says: It will be interesting to see if,
in a few days, these develop the cracks on the cap that are common in Agrocybe.

Alan sent comment on 2/23/14 saying: Agrocybe putaminum
