Agaricus langei. Waldegerling Scaly Wood Mushroom
Edible
Waldegerling Scaly Wood Mushroom, grows in parks and gardens.
Can look like the smaller Blushing Wood Mushroom (Agaricus silvaticus),
but these grow in the forest. Silvaticus= forest in latin.
Dette er en stor blod sjampinjong. Disse vokser i parker og hager
mens blodsjampinjonger vokser vanligvis i skogen, dypt nede i barmatten eller maurtuer.
I tillegg har stor blodsjampinjong rødning øverst på stilken.

Lactarius vellereus
Supposedly edible after boiling and throwing away the liquid.
They turned blue green!
Question is: do I still want to eat them?
Hard, leathery, with an unusual smell
In days of yore, before deodorants were invented, young Norwegian men used to carry one of these in their pockets when courting a young lady.

Tawny Grisette with cap still on
Grisettes come in various colors.
Cortinarius stillatitus. Honningslørsopp
Poisonous. Very slimy all over the whole mushroom. Previously, I found it hard to smell the distinctive fragrance of honey. However, today, I was taught to scrape the base of the stem with my knife and then to smell the same spot. Honey, without a doubt!
