Agaricus subrufescentoides is a species of mushroom in the family Agaricaceae. It was first described by William Murrill in 1912.[1] Its edibility is unknown, but is suspected to be poisonous[2][3] due to it being closely related to poisonous species of Agaricus.[2]
Description
[edit]The cap of Agaricus subrufescentoides is 3–15 centimeters in diameter and tan in color with a reddish brown spot at the center. The cap starts out round, before becoming convex or flat. The stipe is 5–15 centimeters tall and 1.5-4 centimeters wide, with a ring around it. The gills are free and often start out whitish, before becoming pinkish tan and finally brown with age.[2]
Habitat and ecology
[edit]Agaricus subrufescentoides is found in humus and leaf-litter in conifer forests. It fruits during the autumn season.[2]
