Leucoagaricus
''Leucoagaricus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Several fungus-growing ants cultivate multiple species for food. The genus contains approximately 90 species. Taxonomy This group of mushrooms was first defined as a subgenus of ''Leucocoprinus'' by Marcel Locquin in 1945, and it was then elevated to the status of genus by Rolf Singer in the journal ''Sydowia'' in 1948. The group was characterized as belonging to family Agaricaceae with white, dirty cream or pink spores which are generally small (up to 10 µm) but much bigger in one species, with a germ pore, with a pseudo-amyloid multilayered membrane, simple or ornamented, which is metachromatic in cresyl blue. The hyphae in the sporocarp are without clamp connections. There is always a ring which is initially fixed (but later may be movable). The type species is ''Leucoagaricus barssii'' (Zeller) Vellinga, which was formerly called ''L. macrorhizus''. Species Select species include: *''Leucoagaric ...

Leucoagaricus Badhamii
''Leucoagaricus badhamii'' is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. The flesh of this mushroom turns blood red when cut or bruised, hence its common name of blushing dapperling. These damaged areas may eventually turn brown or black and likewise the mushroom may discolour brown or black with age. All parts of the flesh display red staining aiding in identification. Taxonomy This mushroom was first described by the British mycologists Miles Joseph Berkeley and Christopher Edmund Broome in 1854 who gave it the name ''Agaricus badhamii''. In 1943 the French mycologist Marcel Locquin moved this species to the genus ''Leucocoprinus'' and some modern sources still refer to it as ''Leucocoprinus badhamii'' however in 1951 it was reclassified as a ''Leucoagaricus'' species by the German mycologist Rolf Singer. Etymology ''Leucoagaricus'' gets its name from the Greek ''Leucos'' meaning white and Latin or Greek ''Agaricus'' meaning 'of the country'. ''Badhamii'' is named for th ...

Leucoagaricus Americanus
''Leucoagaricus americanus'' is a mushroom in the genus ''Leucoagaricus'', native to North America. It was first described by Charles Horton Peck, an American mycologist of the 19th and early 20th centuries, in 1869. It is widely distributed in North America, though more common east of the Rocky Mountains; it is saprobic, and grows on sawdust, on wood chips, on stumps, and on the ground.Kuo, M. (2005, October).

Retrieved from the MushroomExpert.Com Web site: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/leucoagaricus_americanus.html Description The cap is 3–15 cm and oval in shape when immature, becoming convex to flat when fully grown. The cap feels dry and smooth at the beginning, but gradually gets reddish to reddish brown scales. It is white in color but reddens with maturity or after being handled. The gills are free from the stipe and lie close together. They appear white when young and are stained pinkish to maroon. The stipe is 7–14 cm long, ...

Leucoagaricus Gongylophorus
''Leucoagaricus gongylophorus'' is a fungus in the family Agaricaceae which is cultivated by certain leafcutter ants. Like other species of fungi cultivated by ants, ''L. gongylophorus'' produces gongylidia, nutrient-rich hyphal swellings upon which the ants feed. Production of mushrooms occurs only once ants abandon the nest. ''L. gongylophorus'' is farmed by leaf cutter ant species belonging to the genera ''Atta'' and ''Acromyrmex'', amongst others. Description ''L. gongylophorus'' is completely dependent on ants for survival with workers feeding it cut plant matter and new queens carrying a piece of mycelium in their infrabuccal pocket (a specialised structure within the mouth) in order to found a new colony. For both its source of nutrition and mechanism of spreading it is reliant on the ants. The species has co-evolved with ants so thoroughly that it can no longer rely upon producing mushrooms to emit spores as a viable survival mechanism as it has lost the ...

Leucoagaricus Leucothites
''Leucoagaricus leucothites'', the white dapperling, or white Agaricus mushroom, is a species of agaric fungus. The species was originally described as ''Agaricus leucothites'' by Carlo Vittadini in 1835, and bears similarity to species of that genus. Solomon Wasser transferred it to '' Leucoagaricus'' in 1977. While sometimes regarded as edible, the species is suspected of being poisonous due to gastric-upset-causing toxins. It could also be confused with the deadly ''Amanita ocreata''. The mushroom's cap is 4 to 15 cm wide, is granular, white or gray-brown in color then sometimes grayish or pinkish. The flesh may bruise yellowish and the gills reddish. The stipe is 5 to 12 cm long, commonly with a wide base, and bruising yellow or brown.

Leucoagaricus Erythrophaeus
''Leucoagaricus erythrophaeus'' is a species of agaric fungus. Described as new to science in 2010, it is found in California, where it grows in mixed forest. The specific epithet ''erythrophaeus'' originates from the Greek words ερυ𝛉ρος ("red" or "bloody") and ϕαιος ("dark"), and refers to the mushroom's characteristic bruising reaction. The species was formerly known under the misapplied name ''Lepiota roseifolia''. Similar species ''Leucoagaricus badhamii ''Leucoagaricus badhamii'' is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae.

Leucocoprinus
''Leucocoprinus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Its best-known member is the distinctive yellow mushroom '' Leucocoprinus birnbaumii'', which is found in plant pots and greenhouses worldwide. The type species is '' Leucocoprinus cepistipes''. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains over 80 recognised species, however many of these species are very scarcely recorded and little known with only a small number of ''Leucocoprinus'' species which are commonly observed. The majority of the species in this genus are exclusive to tropical environments however numerous species have become a common sight in plant pots and greenhouses resulting in them becoming well known worldwide. It is likely that some of the observations for these common species are misidentified with observations for ''L. birnbaumii'' in particular often being conflated with other species simply because it is better known or more frequently suggested by image recognition algorithms.
