Members of Agaricus are characterized by having a fleshy cap or pileus, from the underside of which grow a number of radiating plates or gills on which are produced the naked spores. They are distinguished from other members of their family, Agaricaceae, by their chocolate-brown spores.

The Genus Agaricus
[ Basidiomycota > Agaricales > Agaricaceae > Agaricus . . . ]
by Michael Kuo
The mushrooms in Agaricus are terrestrial saprobes, and have caps that are not brightly colored. At maturity the gills are free or almost free from the stem, and are brown to chocolate brown. The stem breaks away cleanly from the cap—a fact known to anyone who has cleaned commercial "button mushrooms" from the store (Agaricus bisporus). Agaricus species have a partial veil which often forms a ring on the stem. The spore print is dark brown.
