Agaricus clypeatus

Agaricus clypeatus Huds. is an 18th-century name from Hudson's Flora Anglica. Old names like this come from the time when Agaricus covered almost every gilled mushroom, so the fungus it refers to may not be an Agaricus in the modern sense. GBIF has two records, both from a cold, snowy north-eastern US site.
