Agrocybe retigera is a species of mushroom in the genus Agrocybe.[1] The first known sighting of the species was in the early 1950s.[2] It was first described by author Speggazini Singer in 1950.[3] The mushroom has since been found in common areas, especially grassy ones, such as gardens, meadows and parks.[2] Agrocybe retigera is most commonly found in tropical and sub-tropical areas around the globe.[4] The size of the cap is usually between 17 and 44 millimetres, and it is generally pale in colour.[2][4] The colour of the mushroom itself ranges from cream to pale-brown.[2]
