Taxonomy
[edit]The species was first described by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822 as Agaricus strigosus in North Carolina.[2]
Description
[edit]The expanded cap is semi-vase-shaped with an inrolled edge, usually purple then fading to brownish. The flesh is white, thin, and tough. The gills are close, narrow, and cap-coloured then whitish. The stipe is short, lateral and hairy. The taste is often bitter. The spores are white and smooth.[3]
