Agrocybe striatipes is a brown-spored mushroom described as new in 2023 from Sichuan Province, China, where it had already been brought into commercial cultivation. It has a light yellowish to ochraceous-brown cap darker at the center, dark brown crowded gills and a long, hollow, deeply striate-grooved stem without a ring. In phylogenetic analyses it is sister to A. smithii, in the clade that includes A. praecox.
Edible; sold as a cultivated mushroom in China. Li et al. (2023) reported protein, 17 amino acids, calcium and vitamin D in fruit bodies and no detectable lead, cadmium, arsenic or mercury. As a newly described species, wild collections should not be eaten without expert identification; many small brown-spored mushrooms, some toxic, are similar.
