Russula chloroides. Blue Band Brittlegill. Turkis traktkremle.


Note the turqoise-blue line between the apex of the stem and the gills.



Note too that the gills are easily removed from the cap.

Inedible

The Blue Band Brittlegill (turkis traktkremle) is often mistaken for the larger 
Milk-white brittlegill/Traktkremle, which is more rarely found in Norway.

The Russula chloroides is often considered the European counterpart to the North American R. brevipes.
