Agaricus chartaceus

Agaricus chartaceus is an Australian Agaricus described by Teresa Lebel in 2012 in a study of sequestrate (truffle-like) Agaricus, with fruit bodies that stay closed and partly buried. GBIF holds about 140 Australian records, mostly from south-west Western Australia and the south-east highlands, where it appears in the cool wet season.

Where it grows wild

Partly buried in soil and litter in open woodland; sequestrate Agaricus rely on animals rather than wind to spread spores.

Records run from near sea level on the Swan Coastal Plain to about 950 m in the south-east highlands.
