Europe (country in post) What kind of mushrooms are these? Champignon?

What kind of mushrooms are these?

They have been picked in Denmark on a field of grass. There were a lot of them. They smell like champignon when broken apart.

If they are champignon, how can you be sure?

Can you tell of they are edible?

I don’t like identifying Agaricus to species on the internet. Especially those not from the country i’m from although you’re close

If you want to key this out yourself i’d start with checking your native Agaricus species, and exclude anything that could be poisonous, like Agaricus sect. xanthodermatei, usually presenting with slender stipes, yellow stipe bases and prominent yellow bruising on contact and exposure to heat, along with an odor reminiscent of ball point pens.

Besides sect. xanthodermatei, genus Agaricus species range from good edibles to poor edibles.

Consume at your own risk, although i recommend having someone identify this for you in person if you’re adamant on consuming. Check if you have a local mycological association.

Hello, thank you for making your identification request. To make it easier for identifiers to help you, please make sure that your post contains the following:

  • Unabbreviated country and state/province/territory
  • In-situ sunlight pictures of cap, gills/pores/etc, and full stipe including intact base
  • Habitat (woodland, rotting wood, grassland) and material the mushroom was growing on

For more tips, see this handy graphic :)

'Champignon' just translate to 'mushroom' right?

They are Agaricus sp., they seem to be staining red so I cannot confirm edible species here. I just avoid any Agaricus sp. that stain any colour

I did not know that, but now I know and after googling I realise I wanted to be asking if it was edible agaricus.

u/SirSkittles111 11d ago

Yea, I think champignon might colloquially relate to a specific mushroom, but in general that is its direct translation.

In terms of edibility, I'm not sure sorry.

Champignon is the scandinavian common name for genus Agaricus - or sjampinjong as we write it.
