Leucoagaricus americanus is a mushroom in the genus Leucoagaricus, native to North America. It was first described by Charles Horton Peck, an American mycologist of the 19th and early 20th centuries, in 1869. It grows in waste places, on stumps, and the ground. It is considered edible, but it might be harmful to ingest the mushroom sometimes.
