Comment: The latin name for the Cremini mushroom is NOT "Agaricus Cupreobrunneus" it is "Agaricus Bisporus" the same as the common white mushroom. From Wikipedia "Agaricus bisporus— [is] known variously as the common mushroom, button mushroom, white mushroom, table mushroom, champignon mushroom, Crimini mushroom, Swiss brown mushroom, Roman brown mushroom, Italian brown, Italian mushroom, cultivated mushroom, or when mature, the Portobello mushroom". The Agaricus Cupreobrunneus is commonly known as the brown field mushroom.
