Agaricus subrutilescens

Wine-colored agaricus

A woodland Agaricus with a cap covered in wine-red to purplish-brown fibrils over a white ground, growing in undisturbed mixed forest under redwood, pine or alder. Reports of its edibility conflict, and some people get gastric upset, so it is not recommended.
