Agaricocrinus is a genus of extinct crinoids, belonging to the family Coelocrinidae.
These stationary upper-level epifaunal suspension feeders lived in the Carboniferous period and in the Osagean age of United States, from 353.8 to 345.0 Ma.
[1][2] Like extant crinoids, Agaricocrinus species was anchored to a hard surface by a holdfast out of which grew an articulated stalk.
On top of this was a calyx with a number of feather-like arms.
Each arm bore short branches known as pinnules and from these cirri were extended which sifted plankton from the water flowing past.
