Talk:Agaricus

Agaricus and Agarical cover the same genus (prior proposal merge with Agaricales incorrect because that is an order). RJFJR 16:22, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

Homeopathy

The homeopathy claims in this article didn't appear to have any current notability - no source from this decade mentions it's use? PouponOnToast (talk) 00:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Changes

Following the example of Cortinarius (and others), I'm moving the long list of Agaricus species to its own page. It's not terribly useful right now, but I'll have a go and see what I can do with it. This page could use a serious overhaul as well... time to do some reading! Sasata (talk) 05:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

pictures

Speaking as an ignoramus, not even a novice, I see a substantial difference between the two pictures of specimens of Agaricus campestris in the article. The stipes are of relatively different thicknesses. Does this matter? Likely enough I am mistaken.

Sorry I haven't worked out how to show the pictures properly.Chjoaygame (talk) 18:01, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

I've placed the images above without the taxoboxes. Plantdrew (talk) 20:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Not only does there seem to be a difference between the stipe thicknesses, but also it is hard to see the gills of the mushroom in the single picture; they look pale. For Agaricus campestris of that size and maturity, I would expect to see the gills with a dark colour, darker than I see in the picture.Chjoaygame (talk) 20:44, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
