Agaricus bernardiiformis

A European Agaricus described by Bohus in 1975 from Hungary; the name marks its resemblance to Agaricus bernardii, a salt-tolerant grassland species. Most records are Spanish, many from near the Valencia coast, and the measured Mediterranean climate shapes the notes below.

Where it grows wild

Probably on soil in open grassland, sandy or saline ground and roadsides, like A. bernardii; this is inferred from the name and the coastal Spanish records, not from the description.

Recorded elevations 4–1,610 m, median 4 m (8 records); most sites are coastal lowland, with a few on the Spanish meseta around 650–780 m.
