A tropical field-mushroom relative described in 1956 by Heinemann and Goossens-Fontana and later recorded in northern Thailand. It is eaten as a wild mushroom in Ethiopia. A Thai strain has been fruited on rice-straw compost with a casing layer, but yields were very low, so it remains an experimental species.
Reported as a wild edible in Ethiopia. Little else is documented. Like other white Agaricus, it must be separated from deadly white Amanitas (white gills, white spore print, volva) and from yellow-staining, phenol-smelling poisonous Agaricus such as A. xanthodermus.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
