Examples of peridium
peridium
Initially, the caps are covered by a peridium-an outer covering layer of tissue.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The lower edge of the peridium is further stretched as it is pulled upward and outward.

Scales begin to appear on the surface of the peridium of some specimens at about this time.

In age, the peridium sloughs off and exposes a brownish spore mass.

The peridium may also rip in such a way that it appears as if there is a ring at the top of the stem.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The torn peridium exposes the internal gleba.
From the en.wikipedia.org
As growth progresses, the stem elongates and the peridium becomes more rounded, increasing in size until maturity.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Typically, the veil tissue is weakest near the attachment to the stem, rather than to the attachment at the edge of the peridium, and the veil separates from the stem.
From the en.wikipedia.org
If the veil tissue at the base of the stem is stronger than that attached to the edge of the peridium, the veil can rip so it remains attached to the stem as a ring.
