I said praecox for sure, but after reading some more about the various agrocybes, I'm not sure. I'm going to look at a few more tomorrow. Maybe even agrocybe dura? I did notice some older ones that had cracked caps.

It does have a rusty brown spore print and an umbo that's slightly darker than the cap. When young the cap was slightly wrinkled in the center.
