Agaricus iodoformicus

An Argentine Agaricus described by Spegazzini in 1898 and named for an iodoform-like smell, a trait of the toxic yellow-staining section Xanthodermatei. GBIF has no occurrence records and there is no modern treatment we could reach, so all growing advice is generic for warm-temperate Agaricus. Not an edible species to experiment with.

Not documented beyond the protologue; Spegazzini's Agaricus came mostly from grassland, gardens and open woodland around Buenos Aires and La Plata.

No elevation data; the Buenos Aires region is lowland.
