Agaricus semotus

A small, pink-tinged Agaricus of moist woodland litter in Europe, Britain, North America from California to Florida, and New Zealand. It is rarely picked because it is small, and reports on its edibility conflict. No climate could be measured for this species, so conditions here are general guidance for litter-decomposing Agaricus.
