Agaricus caeruleus

A name from James Bolton's eighteenth-century History of Fungusses of the Halifax area in England, when Agaricus covered almost all gilled mushrooms. The name means 'blue', and it probably refers to a blue-green mushroom now placed in another genus; it is not a modern Agaricus and has no records, so these notes are generic.
