A large, edible, red-bruising Agaricus of section Bivelares described in 2015 from around Ebinur Lake in Xinjiang, western China, where local people eat it. It produces large, semi-hypogeous fruit bodies in relatively dry, cold, sandy habitats. It has since been domesticated, and it fruits in cultivation without a casing layer.
Edible; eaten by local people in Xinjiang and described as large and tasty. Wild collectors elsewhere should note that white Agaricus can be confused with deadly white Amanitas (white gills, white spore print, volva) and with yellow-staining poisonous Agaricus.
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 Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
