Macrolepiota mastoidea is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.[1][2]
It was first described by many mycologists throughout the 1800s and classified variously as Agaricus gracilentus, Agaricus mastoideus, Agaricus umbonatus with each synonym then undergoing its own extensive period of reclassification.[1] It got its current name Macrolepiota mastoidea in 1951 when classified by the German mycologist Rolf Singer.[3]
This species is found in Europe.[4]
This is reported to be an edible species but it is noted that it can appear similar to some toxic Chlorophyllum species so caution is recommended.[4]
