Agaricus karstomyces

An Agaricus described from China in 2016, named for karst landscapes. GBIF has 478 records, but 305 are from South Africa and many others from Europe, and the measured climate comes from mild southern-hemisphere sites. Growing advice uses those measurements cautiously alongside general Agaricus culture.
