Extract from Wikipedia article: Agaricus semotus is a woodland mushroom of the fungus order Agaricales. It, like many of its relatives, can be found spread throughout wooded, moist areas in the southern United States, and has been found in areas ranging from California to Florida; it is also indigenous to Great Britain and Europe. A. semotus has also been collected in New Zealand. Although various authors disagree about its edibility, its modest size prevents it from being a significant source of nutrition.
Agaricus semotus is a species of mushroom that grows in fields, meadows, and along roadsides. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to September, often in association with coniferous trees. The cap is 4-8 cm in diameter, hemispherical to convex, and brown to reddish-brown, while the stem is 3-6 cm tall and 0.5-1.5 cm thick, with a ring that is often absent or fragile. The flesh is white to pale yellow, turning reddish-brown when injured. It has been found in various locations throughout the region, including urban parks and rural areas.
