nonada Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 In massachusetts. Almost no smell. Stem does not appear to stain when cut or bruised. Stem breaks kind of like asparagus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShroomGuy Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Very cool looking. Maybe a type of Armillaria? Maybe growing from underground roots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonada Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 So here is an update a few days later. Anyone else think these could be honey mushroom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJC Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Agree on honey mushrooms. Double check to make sure with a white spore print. Easy to get spore print from honey mushrooms, place mature cap on piece of paper or aluminum foil gill side down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GJC Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 If you are new to honey mushrooms, there are a couple things you should know. Some people are sensitive to honeys, par boiling them first is recommended. I always boil them and discard the water…..I have seen some mention that alcohol should not be consumed with honey mushrooms, not sure about that but I err on the side of caution….

nonada Posted October 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Yes, certainly new to them. I have read that about boiling before. I appreciate the advice, esp. regarding alcohol. I know this much: I should never assume I will not have a reaction to a mushroom (or anything i consume) simply because others eat it with no ill effect.
