Agaricus campanulatus

A name from James Bolton's eighteenth-century work, when Agaricus covered nearly all gilled mushrooms; 'campanulatus' (bell-shaped) was used for small bell-capped dung and grassland mushrooms now placed in Panaeolus. It is not a modern Agaricus, so these notes are for a small temperate grassland and dung fungus and are low confidence.
