Agaricus langei. Waldegerling Scaly Wood Mushroom.

I have now found a huge spruce in a park where I consistantly find these tasty, edible, mushrooms.

At first sight, Waldegerling Scaly Wood Mushrooms might 
remind you of the Prince, Agaricus augustus.

But the Waldegerling Scaly Wood Mushroom bruises pinkish red immediately.

Note also that the smaller Blushing/Scaly Wood Mushroom, Agaricus silvaticus, 
usually grows in the forest,
 not in parks.

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.

Agaricus augustus. The Prince.

Agaricus augustus

Remember that the spores of all Agaricus, including The Prince, are always dark in color.

Agaricus bernardii


Apart from the striking smell (fishy?), which makes this edible mushroom uninteresting for the Norwegian palate, note too that the ring can be “pulled down”.

 Agaricus bernardii (Veisjampinjong)


Flesh turns reddish orange upon bruising.

Writer Ava Chin on the Agaricus bernardii

Comparison of rings




Agaricus bernardii (left), Agaricus arvensis (right)

The ring of the A. bernardii (veisjampinjong) is low on the stem, while the ring of the A. arvensis (Horse mushroom/ åkersjampinjong)) is high.

The ring of the A. bernardii can be “pulled down”, while the ring of the A. arvensis can be “pulled up”.

Agaricus bernardii


Agaricus bernardii (Veisjampinjong)

Apart from the striking smell (fishy?), which makes this edible mushroom uninteresting for the dinner table, note too that the ring can be “pulled down”.

By contrast, the ring on the Agaricus arvensis (åkersjampinjong) cannot be “pulled down” (see illustration); it can only be “pulled up”.

Poisonous find at a garden party





INDICATORS: Yellow stains disappear after 10-15 minutes.
 In addition to nasty smell, of course.
