Agaricus argyropotamicus

Described by Spegazzini in 1898 from the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina (the name means 'of the silver river'). GBIF records from Africa, Australia, the Americas and the Caribbean suggest it is used for a widespread warm-climate grassland mushroom, but those identifications are unverified.
