Agaricus butyreburneus

Agaricus butyreburneus was described by Kerrigan, Guinberteau and Callac in 2016 in Kerrigan's monograph of North American Agaricus. GBIF records come mainly from the eastern United States, with others from Norway, Czechia and Estonia, so it appears to be a temperate forest species; its ecology is not documented in accessible sources, so conditions come from the measured sites and the genus.
