Agaricus aesculi

Agaricus aesculi is an obscure name, originally Friesian and recombined by Murrill in 1905, with four GBIF records from the eastern United States. Its identity, habitat and season are not documented in accessible sources, so conditions come from the measured sites and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a soil and litter saprotroph like other Agaricus; the epithet suggests association with horse chestnut or buckeye (Aesculus), but this is unconfirmed.

Few records carry an elevation; the measured sites are low (120–370 m).
