Abstract
Seven taxa of Agaricus (Agaricareae) collected in Nothofagus sps. and Pinus radiata forests, lawns and grasslands of Valdivia (south of Chil e) and its surroundings are reported and/or commented upon. Macrophoto graphs of the morphological characters of some of them are added. Agar icus wrightii is proposed as a new species and Agaricus crocodilinus c onstitutes a new record for the Chilean mycological catalogue and, acc ording to our data, also for South America.
