Agrocybe
''Agrocybe'' is a genus of mushrooms in the family Strophariaceae (previously placed in the Bolbitiaceae). The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains about 100 species. Distribution In Europe, toxic forms are not normally found, but ''Agrocybe molesta'' could be confused with poisonous white ''Agaricus'' species or with poisonous ''Amanita'' species. Uses Mushroom cultivation began with the Romans and Greeks, who grew the small ''Agrocybe aegerita''. The Romans believed that fungi fruited when lightning struck. ''A. aegerita'' is commonly known as the poplar mushroom, chestnut mushroom or velvet pioppino (Chinese: 茶樹菇). It is a white rot fungus. It is cultivated and sold in Japan, Korea, Australia and China. It is an important valuable source of bioactive secondary metabolites such as indole derivatives with free radical scavenging activity, cylindan with anticancer activity, and also agrocybenine with antifungal activity.

Agrocybe Praecox
''Agrocybe praecox'', commonly known as the spring agrocybe, early agrocybe, or spring fieldcap, is a species of fungus. According to modern analysis, it is one of a cluster of closely similar species, known as the ''A. praecox'' complex. It appears early in the year in woods, gardens, and fields in Eurasia, North Africa, and North America. It is of debatable culinary interest. Taxonomy The mushroom was first described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1800 as ''Agaricus praecox''. In 1889, Victor Fayod devised the new genus ''Agrocybe'' and made ''A. praecox'' the type species. A 1990 study by Timothy Flynn and O. K. Miller finds that ''A. praecox'' is one of four species which are indistinguishable using superficial characteristics but which can be separated through their habitat and location. If this proposal is accepted, the cluster consists of ''A. molesta'' and three other species which do not yet have proper names, but which are referred to as " ...

Agrocybe Aegerita
''Cyclocybe aegerita'', also called'' Agrocybe cylindracea'', ''Agrocybe aegerita'' or ''Pholiota aegerita'',Mariano García Rollán''Cultivo de setas y trufas'' pg. 167, MUNDI-PRENSA (2007), is a mushroom in the genus '' Cyclocybe'' which is commonly known as the poplar fieldcap or poplar mushroom, or velvet pioppini (). In Japan, it is called . Description It belongs to the white rot fungi and is a medium-sized agaric having a very open and convex cap, almost flat, with a diameter of . Underneath, it has numerous whitish radial plates adherent to the foot, later turning to a brownish-grey colour, and light elliptic spores of 8–11 by 5–7 micrometres. The white fibre foot is generally curved, having a membranous ring on the top part which promptly turns to tobacco colour due to the falling spores. When very young, its colour may be reddish-brown and later turn to a light brown colour, more ochre towards the centre, whiter around its border. It grows in tufts on logs and hol ...

Agrocybe Farinacea
''Agrocybe farinacea'' is a species of mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. It has been reported to contain the hallucinogen psilocybin Psilocybin, also known as 4-phosphoryloxy-''N'',''N''-dimethyltryptamine (4-PO-DMT), is a natural product, naturally occurring tryptamine alkaloid and Investigational New Drug, investigational drug found in more than List of psilocybin mushroom ...,Jonathan Ott, Albert Hofmann''Pharmacotheon: Entheogenic Drugs, Their Plant Sources and History'' pg. 313, Natural Products Company (1993), however there has been no recent chemical analysis carried out on this mushroom, nor any modern reports of psychoactivity.

Agrocybe Erebia
''Cyclocybe erebia'', also known as the dark fieldcap, or sometimes ''Agrocybe erebia'', is a species of brown-spored agaric with a wide distribution. It occurs in the Americas, Europe, and parts of Oceania. It is a member of the family Strophariaceae. Taxonomy ''Cyclocybe erebia'' was once considered to be in the genus '' Agrocybe'', but recent DNA sequencing has shown that it is not, instead placing it in '' Cyclocybe''.Vizzini, A., C.

The cap can range from in diameter; younger caps are very round. The edge of the cap is often frilled or wrinkly, and more lightly colored. Decurrent gills are present underneath the cap.
