Agaricus deliciosus

Agaricus deliciosus is an old name; Linnaeus's Agaricus deliciosus is the saffron milk cap now called Lactarius deliciosus, and Bolton's usage probably refers to the same fungus. If so it is mycorrhizal with pines and cannot be fruited from compost. The six GBIF records are historical ones from north-east England.
