Agaricus gastronevadensis

Agaricus gastronevadensis is a secotioid (puffball-like, closed-capped) Agaricus described by Richard Kerrigan in 2016 in his Agaricus of North America; the name points to the Nevada region. Secotioid Agaricus typically fruit partly buried in dry, open ground after rain, which is hard to reproduce indoors.
