Agaricaceae belongs to the order Agaricales.
The Agaricaceae is a large and diverse family of fungi within the order Agaricales, widely distributed across terrestrial ecosystems, especially in forested and grassland habitats. This family includes classic cap-and-stem mushrooms with gills, as well as puffballs and other distinctive forms. Members are playing key roles in decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients in soil ecosystems.
While many species are wild foraged, several are cultivated for food, or medicine. The most commercially important example from Agaricaceae is the common button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), grown globally for its mild flavor and versatility in fresh and processed forms, including cremini and portobello varieties.
