The Agaricales is a large and diverse order of fungi, encompassing the majority of familiar mushroom-forming species. These fungi are primarily characterized by their fruiting bodies, which typically produce spores on the lamellae (gills) found on the underside of a cap.
This order includes many economically important species, ranging from edible and medicinal varieties to poisonous and hallucinogenic ones, making them a significant group from both ecological and human perspectives.
A good example of a crop belonging to the order Agaricales is the Common mushroom or Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus).
