The most welcome Horse Mushroom (Agaricus arvensis) is a great tasty mushroom that grows in most types of grassland, mainly permanent pasture land, but to reiterate, in this case it was a small grassy front lawn/verge.

The cautious old mushroom gatherer's maxim is so important: 'Never munch on a hunch'. Gillet, and Agaricus fissuratus F.H. on the underside. and other places where there is plenty of decaying organic matter, upon which it feeds saprophytically. The stem-base colour change resolves the former, and checking that the gills are pink or brown rather than white averts the latter potentially-fatal error. (exceptionally to more than 30cm) diameter. Die Art wurde im Jahr 1762 von Jacob Christian Schäffer anhand eines bayrischen Typusexemplars erstbeschrieben. There are reports that this edible and greatly prized mushroom tends to accumulate heavy metals such as copper and cadmium, and so if eaten it is best considered an occasional treat rather than a food-for-free bonanza in those years when grassland mushrooms are plentiful. August to November, typically a week or two later than the Field Mushroom, Agaricus campestris, with which the Horse Mushroom is sometimes confused. Its diameter ranges from 2 to 3cm. Agaricus arvensis, commonly known as the horse mushroom, is a sometimes massive agaric that has a white cap, ringed stem, and pink or chocolate colored gills. Sie sind ebenfalls essbar, besonders Letzterer reichert aber besonders hohe Mengen des Schwermetalls Cadmium an und sollte, wenn überhaupt, nur in sehr geringen Mengen als Speisepilz gesammelt werden.[1].

Wie alle Anis-Champignons reichert der Weiße Anis-Champignon Schwermetalle wie Cadmium an und sollte nur in Maßen zum Verzehr gesammelt werden.[1]. So gibt es drei Zonen: eine äußere Zone, in der das Graswachstum stimuliert wird, eine mittlere, in der kaum Graswachstum stattfindet und eine innere Zone mit stark stimuliertem Graswachstum. Møller. Roadside verges and permanent pasture are places where you will see this large, edible fungus - although if gathering mushrooms to eat it is not a good idea to include roadside specimens.
