Agaric mushrooms are mushrooms with gills. This includes amanita,
psilocybe and store bought species. It's a term that covers everything
we consider a traditional 'mushroom'.
And Kilgore if you want to pretend to be an expert, at least learn
that in a mushroom name such as 'Amanata muscaria', the Amanita part
is the genus and is always capitalized. The specie is muscaria and is
always in small case. If you want to really dazzle your friends,
always put these names in italics when in print.
Tell me again about how people post confusing and incorrect info....

psilocybe and store bought species. It's a term that covers everything
we consider a traditional 'mushroom'.
And Kilgore if you want to pretend to be an expert, at least learn
that in a mushroom name such as 'Amanata muscaria', the Amanita part
is the genus and is always capitalized. The specie is muscaria and is
always in small case. If you want to really dazzle your friends,
always put these names in italics when in print.
