agaric
a saprophytic fungus of the order Agaricales having an umbrellalike cap with gills on the underside
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain agarics as gilled mushrooms, identify major genera and species, relay identification principles and safety warnings from mycological sources, and distinguish edible from poisonous look-alikes without substituting for expert identification.
A gilled mushroom of the order Agaricales with an umbrella-like cap and gills on the underside, in the narrow sense a member of the genus Agaricus such as the field mushroom, the horse mushroom and the cultivated button mushroom, and in the broad sense any gilled fungus including the royal agaric and the fly agaric; agarics are saprotrophs or mycorrhizal partners, include edible, inedible and deadly species, and are identified by cap, gills, spore print and habitat.
What it is for: Not applicable; a fungal group with edible and poisonous members.
It can be explain the group and its senses; identify major genera and species; relay identification principles; relay safety warnings.
Distinguishing features
Gills
Spore print colour
Edible and deadly members
Saprotrophic and mycorrhizal
What it looks like
A mushroom with a cap, gills beneath and a stem, often with a ring or volva.
Physical character
Agaricales species: about 13000 count - by classification
How it is recognised
Gilled cap-and-stem mushroom
Agaricus in the narrow sense; all Agaricales broadly
Boletes have pores; polypores lack gills; the deadly Amanita species resemble some agarics
