Ring has clear, narrow stripes.

The other Amanita with stripes on its ring, the Amanita spissa/Grey Spotted Amanita (grå fluesopp), is also edible. So is the Amanita novinupta.

The placement of the ring is low on the stem.

The Saffron Milkcap can look very different.

However, the carrot-colored milk is a clear characteristic.

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. 

Leucopaxillus giganteus. Giant Funnel Cap.

Giant Funnel Cap (diameter between 15-35 cm).

The smaller ones are edible after blanching.

Found often in groups .....

....or fairy rings

Gills are easily removed from cap

Clear ridges on edge of cap

Kjempetraktmusserong

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.

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.
