Agaricus flammicolor

A small tropical Agaricus described in 2017 (Linda J. Chen, Callac, R.L. Zhao & K.D. Hyde) in Persoonia 38 (2017), Chen et al., a study of Agaricus subgenus Minores and allied clades from Europe and the Greater Mekong Subregion. Beyond the description, nothing is published on its ecology or cultivation, so the conditions below are inferred from the tropical Mekong lowland climate and the genus.

Where it grows wild

Presumably a soil and litter saprotroph of tropical forest and forest edges, as for the small Agaricus of the Greater Mekong Subregion; no species-specific habitat notes were available.

No elevation data; the tropical Agaricus in this study are mostly lowland to submontane.
