Bolbitiaceae: Agrocybe, Bolbitius & Conocybe
This group is Roy's specialism.
Keys to genera and then generic keys to species, followed by lengthy species accounts. The Ecological List of Species groups them by habitat.
Some of the line drawings are a bit small and/or crowded.
Some of the Agrocybe species recognised here are now known to interbreed, and have been synonymised in more recent works (eg the UK checklist).
