Agaricus xanthodermus

It is incredible how many A.xanthodermus I am seeing in the Geelong, Vic area the past few days!

I reckon I could walk in a 1km straight line any direction and find over 100 of these.

 

I wish our friend P.subaeruginosa was this social!

How do you test if they are xanthodermus? Do you rub them to see if they turn yellow?

 

I found a patch of nice big campestris on the farm a couple of days ago. The campestris were good eating, and I took a culture as well. :)

You can usually smell it, it varies from specimen to specimen and is more pronounced when cooking.

 

Macroscopically the xanthodermus (damnit, i ALWAYS says xandothermus) usually(not scientific) have a flat top, like a bread loaf that has been baked with a lid on it. (baking reference)

Yeah, I can see in those photos that the xanthodermus have a square appearance. I went off and checked what differences exist between it and campestris after I made the above post. The cap on the campestris go a reddish brown immediately when you scrape the top to remove a bit of dirt etc. I know the campestris because it is from a patch that we have picked from for many years.
