Agaricus abruptibulbus is a species of mushroom in the genus Agaricus. It is commonly known as the abruptly-bulbous agaricus[2] or the flat-bulb mushroom.[3] First described by the mycologist Charles Horton Peck,[4] this bulbous-stemmed edible species smells slightly of anise or bitter almond,[5] and turns yellow when bruised or cut. The mushroom is medium-sized, with a white, yellow-staining cap on a slender stipe that has a wide, flat bulb on the base.
