Leucoagaricus cretaceus

The group of Leucoagaricus leucothites (= naucinus) comprehends some two

or three species very close one to each other (L. cretaceus is one of them);

as they grow in the same kind of habitat, people often collect them without

making any distinction; now, as one of these species seems to be toxic (if

I am correct, it should be L. cretaceus), some field guides don't encourage

to eat any of them. If someone sells spawn to cultivate L. leucothites, any-

way, I think that those fungi must be surely edible; but when you find them

in a meadow you never know... you must be sure of what you eat!
