Agaricus gilvus

Agaricus gilvus Schaeff. (1774) is an old name for a buff or yellowish gilled mushroom. This is a pre-1821 name from the era when Agaricus covered almost all gilled mushrooms; it has no modern type study or DNA data and may not be a true Agaricus at all. GBIF's six records come from around Newcastle and the Tyne valley in England. Treat any cultivation attempt as experimental.
