flipjargendy Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hello @Daniele, welcome to the forums. I see that you've posed this ID request in the introductions section of the forum so I've moved it to the Identifying Mushrooms section for you. You'll have better success getting some help there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hi Daniele. I see your location is listed as Cowes. Is this in Australia, England, or maybe the US? Mushroom species differ quite a bit form one geographic area to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniele Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Hallo Dave, I live in Cowes Isle Of Wight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Okay, except I'm not very confident about IDing an Agaricus species that grows on Isle Of Wight. There may be species there that I ma completely unfamiliar with. Actually, the Agaricus species of North America can be quite puzzling. In my area, the ones with almond odor are good to eat. Caution is advised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniele Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks guys, it was edible and also very good! I still don't know exactly the name :-| but I was confident it wasn't poisonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Okay! Be aware there are species of Agaricus that look somewhat like this one but are sickeners. Like I said before, odor is important with Agaricus. At least some of the offensive species have an unpleasant phenol/chemical/inky odor.
