Agaric Mushrooms
-
The ‘Agarics’ are the group of
fungi that produce what most people would call the classic Mushrooms and
Toadstools, with a stalk and cap. Most of these have feathery soft gills on
the underside of the cap.
-
This group includes the regular
common cultivated mushrooms that we eat.
-
The range is enormous, for they
can be tiny or huge, and any colour imaginable. One of the bioluminescent
fungi in the wet tropics, Mycena chlorophanos, belongs to this group.
