Taxonomy
The species was first described by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822 as Agaricus strigosus in North Carolina.
Description
The expanded cap is semi-vase-shaped with an inrolled edge, usually purple then fading to brownish. The flesh is white, thin, and tough. The gills are close, narrow, and cap-coloured then whitish. The stipe is short, lateral and hairy. The taste is often bitter. The spores are white and smooth. Its habit includes parts of North America and the Philippines.
