Agaricus cuniculicola

Agaricus cuniculicola was described by Richard Kerrigan in 1989 from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado; the epithet means rabbit-dweller. GBIF records place it in subalpine forest at about 2300–3350 m, where it fruits in the short summer after monsoon rains. Nothing beyond the description is published, so conditions come from the measured climate.

Where it grows wild

Montane to subalpine conifer forest and clearings in the Colorado Rockies; the name suggests it was found on soil disturbed or enriched by rabbits. Details of its substrate are not confirmed here.

Recorded at 2304–3353 m, median 2926 m.
