Agaricus inapertus, commonly known as the mountain gasteroid agaricus,[2] is a species of secotioid fungus in the genus Agaricus. It was first described by American mycologists Rolf Singer and Alexander H. Smith in 1958 as Endoptychum depressum.[3] Molecular analysis later proved it to be aligned with Agaricus, and it was formally transferred in a 2003 publication.[4]
The cap grows up to 15 centimetres (6 in) wide. It is whitish, staining yellowish.[2] A veil joins the cap margin to the stem, which is up to about 4 cm long. The flesh is whitish and toughens in age.[2] The spores are contained on rudimentary gills, initially appearing pallid then brown.[2] A spore print is unobtainable. It is related to species in Agaricus sect. Arvenses.[2]
The species grows with conifers in western North America.[2] Firm specimens have been said to be edible.[2]
