Secotium

Secotium is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The members of this genus are closely related to ordinary Agaricus mushrooms, but do not open out in the usual way; this has given rise to the term "secotioid" for such mushrooms in general. They are thought to form an evolutionary link between agarics and gasteroid fungi (whose spores are enclosed in a pouch-like structure). Secotium is a widespread genus, with species that are predominantly found in warm and arid regions.[2]

The secotioid species Agaricus deserticola used to be named Secotium texense before its strong connection to Agaricus caused it to be reclassified.

gollark: It isn't complicated maths. And it's more of a "can you actually think about this enough to look it up" question.
gollark: Quite a lot of the people I interact with know more mathy stuff.
gollark: I expect that even if I said "HINT: try looking up "factorize number"" people would complain.
gollark: They don't need to know what potatOS is, only what a semiprime is, and it would be easy enough to just look it up.
gollark: It would be a utopia!
