Agaricus deardorffensis is a common species of gilled mushroom found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.[1][2]
In the past this species (along with A. buckmacadooi, A. berryessae, and A. placomyces) was often misidentified as the European species Agaricus moelleri or the now defunct A. praeclaresquamosus, but recent genetic testing has clarified them as numerous distinct species.[3] This mushroom is considered poisonous and is likely to cause gastrointestinal symptoms if ingested.[4][5]
