Agaricus carminescens

Agaricus carminescens was described by Heinemann and Goossens-Fontana in 1956 from the Belgian Congo; the name refers to flesh reddening to carmine. The four GBIF records are from the Kivu highlands of eastern DR Congo, a mild, rainy upland climate.

Where it grows wild

A soil and litter saprotroph of the Kivu uplands; exact habitat not documented.

No records carry an elevation, but the measured site near Bukavu lies at roughly 1500 m, which explains the mild temperatures.
