Information About

Agaricoid




Most species of agarics are classified in the Agaricales , however, this type of fruiting body is though to have evolved several times independently, hence the Russulales , Boletales , Hymenochaetales , and several other groups of basidiomycetes also contain agaric species. Older systems of classification place all agarics in the Agaricales, and the some (mostly older) sources still use "agarics" as a common name for the Agaricales. Contemporary sources now tend to use the term euagarics when referring only to members of the Agaricales. "Agaric" is also sometimes used as a common name for members of the genus '' Agaricus '', as well as for members of other genera, for example, '' Amanita Muscaria '' is sometimes called "fly agaric".
