''Agaricus semotus'' is a woodland mushroom of the ''Agaricales'' order of fungi. 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.〔Mitchell AD, Walter M. (1999). "Species of ''Agaricus'' occurring in New Zealand". ''New Zealand Journal of Botany'' 37(4): 715–25.〕 Although various authors disagree about its edibility, its modest size prevents it from being a significant source of nutrition. ==Description== The cap is 2–7 cm in diameter, initially convex while flattening with age; it typically has a low umbo–a raised, conical mound in the center of the cap.〔 (Google Books )〕 The surface color can range from a lighter cream to a darker tan, with brownish scales thinning out towards the margin of the cap. The gills are free from the stalk and packed closely together, showing a pink to salmon color in youth and aging to a darker brown. The stalk is 3–7 cm tall and 0.4–0.8 cm broad, and bruises yellow when handled. A ring or remnants thereof are often evident, while the partial veil is often absent or minutely visible along the margin of the cap. The flesh is white throughout and stains yellow when bruised. The spore print is dark brown. The taste is said to be slightly reminiscent of anise or almond while the odor is often more distinctive. The spores are 4.5–5.5 x 3–3.5 µm, smooth, nonamyloid, and elliptical. The basidia, the spore-bearing cells, are 4-spored, while the cystidia (relatively large non-spore producing cells typically found on the hymenium) are roughly club-shaped with thin walls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agaricus semotus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
