The way the gills attach to the top of the stalk is an important feature of mushroom morphology. Mushrooms in the genera Agaricus, Amanita, Lepiota and Pluteus, among others, have free gills that do not extend to the top of the stalk.

Agaricus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi containing both edible and poisonous species, with over 400 members worldwide [2] [3] and possibly again as many disputed or newly-discovered species.
Agaricus bisporus, commonly known as the cultivated mushroom, is a basidiomycete mushroom native to grasslands in Eurasia and North America. It is cultivated in more than 70 countries and is one of the most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world.
The fly agaric, Amanita muscaria, late August, Norway An agaric (/ ˈ æ ɡ ər ɪ k, ə ˈ ɡ ær ɪ k /) is a type of fungal fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus.
Epigeous sporocarps that are visible to the naked eye, especially fruitbodies of a more or less agaricoid morphology, are often called mushrooms. Epigeous sporocarps have mycelia that extend underground far beyond the mother sporocarp. There is a wider distribution of mycelia underground than sporocarps above ground. [2]

The genus Boletus was originally broadly defined and described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, containing all pored mushrooms. [4] Since then, gradually other genera have been defined, such as Tylopilus by Karsten in 1881, [ 5 ] and old names such as Leccinum and Suillus resurrected or redefined.
