<i>Agrocybe pediades</i> Species of fungus

Agrocybe pediades, commonly known as the common agrocybe, is a typically lawn and other types of grassland mushroom, but can also grow on mulch containing horse manure. It was first described as Agaricus pediades by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821, and moved to its current genus Agrocybe by Victor Fayod in 1889. A synonym for this mushroom is Agrocybe semiorbicularis, though some guides list these separately. Technically it is edible, but it could be confused with poisonous species, including one of the genus Hebeloma.

Agrocybe praecox, commonly known as the spring agrocybe or early agrocybe, is a species of brown-spored mushroom which appears early in the year in woods, gardens and fields. According to modern taxonomic analysis, it is just one of a cluster of closely similar species which are often referred to as the Agrocybe praecox complex. It is found in Europe, North Africa and North America.

Agrocybe putaminum, commonly known as the mulch fieldcap, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Strophariaceae in the Agrocybe sororia complex. Described as new to science in 1913, it is found in Asia, Australia, Europe, and western North America, where it grows in parks, gardens, and roadsides in woodchip mulch. Fruitbodies of the fungus have a dull brownish-orange cap with a matte texture, a grooved stipe, and a bitter, mealy taste.

The specific epithet moseri honours Austrian mycologist Meinhard Moser. The fungus has been reported from the United Kingdom, growing in grassy areas, fields, and edges of woods. In 1995, it was recorded from Switzerland, from Ukraine in 2007, and from Russia in 2007. It was reported from India in 2015, where it was found growing on cattle dung.

Agrocybe rivulosa is a species of mushroom in the genus Agrocybe. The first recorded sighting of the mushroom was in 2003. The species was first found in Britain in the year 2004. It is a relatively large mushroom, with a stem of 5 to 10 centimeters, and a cap which reaches 4 to 10 centimeters across. The colour of the cap ranges from yellow to pale orange-brown. It has been eaten, and is reasonably tasty with no obvious toxicity.

<i>Agrocybe retigera</i> Species of fungus

Agrocybe retigera is a species of mushroom in the genus Agrocybe. The first known sighting of the species was in the early 1950s. It was first described by author Speggazini Singer in 1950. The mushroom has since been found in common areas, especially grassy ones, such as gardens, meadows and parks. Agrocybe retigera is most commonly found in tropical and sub-tropical areas around the globe. The size of the cap is usually between 17 and 44 millimetres, and it is generally pale in colour. The colour of the mushroom itself ranges from cream to pale-brown.
