Found by my daughter. No blue bruising notice immediately, however upon zooming in on photos you can see some slight blue bruising at the stem Apex and on some of the Gil margins. Later as the mushroom dried, more intense bluing present in the gills at the stem connection and at the stem Apex. Found in a woodpile that appeared to be bulldozzed.
