Agaricus calyciformis

Agaricus calyciformis is Withering's 18th-century name from Britain, published when Agaricus covered almost every gilled mushroom; its modern identity is uncertain and it may not be a true Agaricus. The three GBIF records come from County Durham in north-east England, so conditions come from the measured site and temperate agaric cultivation.

Where it grows wild

Unknown; the name suggests a cup- or funnel-shaped cap, which would fit a Clitocybe-like mushroom rather than a true Agaricus.

No records carry an elevation; the measured site is in lowland north-east England.
