Agaricus bernardii

Agaricus bernardii

Agaricus bernardii (Veisjampinjong)

Apart from the striking smell (fishy?), which makes this edible mushroom uninteresting for most Norwegians, note also that the ring can be “pulled down”. By contrast, the ring on the Agaricus arvensis (åkersjampinjong) cannot be “pulled down”; it can be “pulled up”. Always something new to learn!

Turns reddish orange upon bruising (see below)
