Agaricus are (now) one of my interest groups. Did its flash stain yellow or orange permanently? spore print was very chocolate brown? What colour would you describe the cap as (if its different from photos)?

Many agaricus smell of almonds in Australia - the prince (this is too small), arvensis and of course the newly described Agaricus marzipan
