Agaricus dicystis

Agaricus dicystis was described by Paul Heinemann in 1962; the epithet refers to its two kinds of cystidia. The few GBIF specimens come from montane Neotropical forest: the Blue Mountains of Jamaica at about 1800 m, Sierra San Javier in Argentina and Curitiba in Brazil. There is no measured climate, so conditions are estimated for cool montane forest.
