Agaricus buckmacadooi, commonly known as Buck's agaricus,[1] is a species of mushroom in the family Agaricaceae. It is found on the Pacific coast of North America.[2]
Agaricus buckmacadooi was first described by Rick Kerrigan in 2016.[3] Prior to that, it was often lumped together with A. deardorffensis and A. berryessae as Agaricus praeclareesquamosus or A. moelleri. At other times, these species were lumped together as A. placomyces. However, Kerrigan did research revealing that A. buckmacadooi, as well as A. deardorffensis and A. berryessae are in fact distinct species.[1] Agaricus moelleri is a European species, and A. placomyces is an Eastern North American species.
