a Summary, etc A survey was conducted in 2008 by collecting wild mushrooms from different places in North Cyprus included forests, fields and coastal plains. Eight Agaricus species were found in this study in addition to A. macrosporus which was brought from a supermarket from the Greek side of Cyprus. Agaricus placomyces was suspect poisonous and better to be avoided, while edibility of A. bresadolianus was not known. The other seven Agaricus species found in this study were edible. The main characteristics of this genus are free gills, chocolate brown spores, the presence of a veil, medium to large size and a central stalk that separates easily from the cap. The information from this study will help mushroom collectors to differentiate between edible, non-edible and toxic mushrooms.
