Abstract
The present communication sets out to examine the morpho-taxonomic studies of some agarics. A total of six species and two varieties viz., Agaricus californicus, A. placomyces, Chlorophyllum hortense, C. molybdites var. microsporus, C. nothorachodes, Leucoagaricus rhodocephalus, Leucocoprinus cepistipes and L. straminellus var. rubrum belonging to four genera have been collected, recorded, photographed and presented in the current paper. Survey of the literature showed that two species i.e. Agaricus californicus and Chlorophyllum hortense are new records for India, species namely Agaricus placomyces, Leucoagaricus rhodocephalus, Leucocoprinus cepistipes and C. nothorachodes are new for Jammu & Kashmir whereas Chlorophyllum molybdites var. microsporus and Leucocoprinus straminellus var. rubrum are proposed as new varieties for science.
