New Species - Spring Fieldcap

I knew it was something I hadn't seen before when I found this fungus in the rough grass I laughingly call a lawn. With some help I can confidently identify it as Spring Fieldcap (Agrocybe praecox), a common spring species that is probably based on some wood in the grassland. The small ring on the stipe is one of its features and the brown spore print also distinctive.
