We’ve included this family in both the Wild and Cultivated sections for the cultivated section. There are many kinds of Agaricus species within the genus – the well-known ones found growing wild are field mushroom (Agaricus campestris), horse mushroom (Agaricus arvensis) and the prince (Agaricus augustus), and each differ slightly in taste and looks, from each other and from the Agaricus bisporus. As they grow in the wild, they do tend to have more of a stronger taste, tasting slightly of the matter they grow in, and will be more inconsistent in their appearance. At the moment, they seem to hold little interest to the restaurants or markets in general, but are still highly regarded on the domestic forager’s plate.
