Agaricus bresadolanus (parkland mushroom[2]) is a species of fungus in the genus Agaricus. Its spores are ellipsoid and lack a germ pore, with dimensions of 5.5–7.5 by 4.0–5.0 μm.[3]

It was described by Hungarian mycologist Gábor Bohus in 1969.[4] A rare species, it has been recorded in Asia and southern Europe, where it fruits singly or in groups along paths and in grassy area of deciduous woodland.

Toxicity

[edit]

While generally considered edible, a small number of reports of severe stomach pain after ingestion suggest that it might be somewhat poisonous.[5]
