Agaricus flabellatus

A name published by James Bolton in his 18th-century History of Fungusses growing about Halifax. The epithet means fan-shaped, which often indicates a lateral stem on wood. Pre-1821 names in Agaricus covered almost all gilled mushrooms, so this may not be a true Agaricus at all; its modern identity is unresolved here.
