Of the agarics, two are rated ‘good’. These are *Bola de neu anisada (snowball with a taste of anis), Agaricus silvicola, the wood mushroom; and *camperol, A campestris, the field mushroom known to all. The latter can be conserved in salt or put under vinegar. Another agaric, bola de neu (snowball), A arvensis, the horse mushroom, is only deemed ‘regular’, although in France it is esteemed under various names: boule de neige, champignon des bruyères, rosé, pâturon blanc, etc.
