SteveDan Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Finally got around to getting some honey mushrooms today. Saw a recipe for honey mushroom perogies I think I'll try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualsetters Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Nice batch of honeys. Im not brave enough to look for them yet. I thought I found some a few weeks ago, but am pretty sure they were some type of halucenagenic mushroom instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveDan Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Believe me, I'm the biggest chicken when it comes to eating stuff that may not be all too good for you! Dave replied to my other post about the Honey's, I did the spore print and it was a real nice white. These are growing in clusters on an old beech stump and there are a ton of them. The gills go to the ring, and they have the little "hairs" on the cap so I'm like 99% sure they are Honey's. I will however fry one up, eat a small part, like the size of my thumb nail and sit back and see! If that goes good, I'll eat a little more within 24 hours and see again. Then I'll be sure they're good. All of this why? I'm a chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I suggest par-boiling Honeys before frying/sauteing or otherwise preparing for eating. Honeys contain an indigestible substance that cooks out. The par-boiling assures this happens. Also, a fairly long saute on relatively low heat with the skillet covered helps to cook off the slime that often develops on the Honeys.

Pickinpox Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Honeys always remind me of Shitake's....The look the taste and the texture...anybody else?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I've never tried them but I know I have A. tabescens growing in my yard in the fall so I might give them a whirl this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I find the appearance and chewy textures of Honeys and Shiitake to be similar. But I think the flavors are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
