Agrocybe xerophytica

Agrocybe xerophytica was described by Rolf Singer in Mycologia in 1959. The epithet suggests dry, xerophytic vegetation, but the type locality and habitat are not given in the sources consulted and GBIF has no usable records. The conditions below are therefore generalised from the genus.

Where it grows wild

Not documented in the sources consulted; the name implies dry, open vegetation, where Agrocybe fruit on soil or among grasses after rain.

No elevation data.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
