Description
The cap of Agaricus buckmacadooi is about 8-20 centimeters in diameter and is scaly and tannish brown. The cap starts out round or convex, before expanding out to broadly convex or flat. The stipe is 7-15 centimeters long and 1-4 centimeters wide, with a ring. The gills are free and start out a pale pink color, before becoming pinkish tan and finally brown with age. The flesh of this mushroom stains yellow.
Similar species. Agaricus buckmacadooi is similar to A. deardorffensis and A. berryessae. All three species smell phenolic, stain yellow, and are very difficult to tell apart.
