Agaricus silvicola, also known as the wood mushroom or woodland agaricus,[1] is a species of Agaricus mushroom related to the button mushroom. A. silvicola is a member of Agaricus section Arvenses, a group of morphologically similar mushrooms.[2] A. silvicola, like other species in Agaricus section Arvenses, exhibits a positive Schäffer's reaction and potassium hydroxide reaction, and smells of almonds or anise.[3]

Taxonomy

Originally described as the variety Agaricus campestris var. silvicola by Carlo Vittadini in 1832, it was promoted to distinct species status by Charles Horton Peck in 1873.[4]

Varieties with larger bases have been described as A. abruptibulbus.[5]

Description

The cap is light cream, and bruises yellow ochre when damaged. It is Шаблон:Convert in diameter, which makes it slightly smaller than its close relative Agaricus arvensis, the "horse mushroom." The stem is Шаблон:Cvt, and usually has a bulbous base.[6] It is much the same color as the cap, and has a fragile drooping ring. The flesh is thin and white, and smells of almond or anise.[7] It looks fairly similar to a young death cap.[8]

The spores are brown, elliptical, and smooth.[6]

Distribution and habitat

Agaricus silvicola grows in both deciduous and coniferous woodland in Britain, Europe, and North America.[9] It has also been reported in South Asia, namely Bangladesh[10] and Pakistan.[11] Appearing in the autumn, it is rarely seen in huge numbers, usually just a few, or solitary.[7]

Edibility

It is edible and popular in Europe.[12][13] It is suspected to have caused an allergic reaction in a few people in North America.[8] (This reference is not supported by clinical cases).
