ID Help, Ringless Honey Mushroom?

Recommended Posts

Thought these might be chanterelles at first but was told they're probably Ringless Honey Mushrooms, as evidenced by the brown coloration in the middle and tendency to grow in clumps. All seemingly growing out of the ground, attached two pictures of the area they were growing for reference. No distinctive smell, doesn't change color when damaged. Waiting for a spore print that I'll check in the morning. If they are Ringless Honey, I've heard mixed reviews about edibility. Anyone?

Those look like Armillaria tabescens to me. A key feature --in addition to the clustered growth habit, brownish color, lack of ring, stem with fibrous "skin" and white pithy interior, and white spore print-- is the presence of scales on the cap surface. These scales are actually bunches of tiny hairs that get fused together. 

Diana, young material with unexpanded caps are best. After parboiling, long slow saute is recommended in order to reduce the sliminess.
