Agrocybe sororia is a species of Basidiomycota mushroom in the genus Agrocybe.[1]
The cap is convex to plane, tawny fading to pale yellow-buff; and is sometimes cracked, or wrinkled. It is 5-10 cm in diameter and non-hygrophanous.
The gills have an adnate attachment to the stipe. They are 2-5 mm thick and white when young, turning yellowish brown to dull brown with age. The spores are cinnamon-brown and subovoid to ellipsoid, with 1 μm truncated germ pores. The basidia have 2-4 sterigmata and inconspicuous hilar appendages . [2]
The stipe is cylindrical, concolor with the cap and lacks a ring or partial veil. The base of the stipe is club-shaped, fibrillose and 3.4-5(1.2) x 0.4-0.9 cm, in size. [2] It has white mycelium and rhizomorphs.
The odour and taste is mealy (not bitter). Agrocybe sororia is distributed in eastern North America.[3] It is found in wood mulch, composts and grassy areas and is saprotrophic.[4]
