Agaricus extinctorius

A name published by Linnaeus in 1753 for a European mushroom; the epithet means 'candle-snuffer', after the cap shape. This is a pre-1821 name published before modern fungal nomenclature, when almost every gilled mushroom was put in Agaricus; which fungus it refers to today is not settled, so these conditions are a generic temperate soil-mushroom profile.
