Agaricus xanthodermus

Although most Agaricus sp. are safe for the table such as the meadow mushroom, horse mushroom and your button mushrooms you get at your local grocery store but there are some that are poisonous Agaricus xanthodermus is one of them. Although it looks good if you smell it, it smells like phenol and the stem turns bright yellow if rubbed. Do not eat.
