It also describes macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the discovered specimens and presents the specification of habitat the fungus concerned. The differences with the similar Agaricus silvaticus are briefly discussed. An UTM-grid map is appended. The species is described and illustrated on the basis of Bulgarian specimens.
