Abstract

The current study describes first records of a common edible mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) and two inedible mushrooms (A.
glabriusculus and A. trisulphuratus) from district Gujranwala. These three Agaricus species were collected during field surveys
for the collection of macro-fungi from the Punjab province during rainy seasons of years 2021 and 2022. The comprehensive
morphological characterization in terms of morphoanatomical descriptions, macro & micro-photography and illustrations of the
collected specimens are provided. Detailed comparison of all three Agaricus species with their morpho-anatomically similar species of the genus is also given in the article.
