Agaricus Augustus? PLEASE HELP! I'M HUNGRY ;)
    #19042282 - 10/27/13 07:24 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys.  I'm pretty certain these are "Princes" but I want to make sure.  They were growing in various wood-chip piles under shrubs and trees (I forgot to look what kind).

The caps are about 5"-8" across.  When the caps have yet to open, they are a little lumpy around the edge which makes me think Augustus as well. 

When I cut I stipe and smell it (and smelling the gills), it smells VERY good... like vanilla soy milk, haha.  That's the only thing that comes to mind.

I didn't take any from this patch...


I took some of these and others nearby that were knocked over but still young, firm, & fresh...


THANKS FOLKS!

Not A.augustus.  More like A.moelleri, but your description of scent doesn't match.

Ah damn.  Thanks.  You're right.  It seems Augustus have a yellowish aspect to the cap where the moelleri is just in the white/grey realm.

People say it smells like "ink"?  What I have definitely smells good.  Regardless, I'll toss them in the backyard and maybe some spores will reach something nearby to harass :smile:

Not everyone can smell the toxins in Agaricus.

Yours definitely look like A. moelleri.  If you scratch the stem base, they will turn bright yellow.

You could try eating a little, but do not be surprised if you start puking.

Agaricus moelleri has a very mild ink odor, the other toxic Agaricus species are much stronger.

Thanks Alan.  I still think it smelled good compared to most every other mushroom I've smelled, haha.

But now that I've compared augustus with these moelleri, I can see the difference.  It sucks that I won't be having them for supper but I'm happy that I'm now more familiar with both :smile:

Thanks guys!
