Honey Mushroom
Honey Mushroom

Armillaria is a genus of fungi that includes the A. mellea species known as honey fungi that live on trees and woody shrubs. It includes about 10 species formerly categorized summarily as A. mellea. Armillarias are long-lived and form the largest living fungi in the world. here are many forms of honey mushrooms, and in some books they are all given the scientific name Armillaria mellea even though it is now accepted that there are several distinct Armillaria species. This species was first described in 1790 by the Danish mycologist Martin Vahl (1749 – 1804), who named it Agaricus mellea. Honey Fungus was moved into its present genus in 1871 by the famous German mycologist Paul Kummer, whereupon its scientific name became Armillaria mellea. Armillaria mellea is the type species of the genus Armillaria. It is similar to Armillaria ostoyae. Honey Mushroom Identification – click for video – Type Gill fungi. Distinguishing Features When young, the stems are white, turning yellow or yellowish-brown and finely woolly as the fruitbody matures. The cap measures anywhere from 5 to 15cm in diametre; and the colour ranges from honey-yellow to red-brown, with a darker area near the centre. The cap flesh is white and firm. The cap, initially deeply convex, flattens and often develops wavy, striate margins. Fine scales cover the young caps, most noticeably towards the centre. Height Honeys can grow between 7 and 20 cm; 0.5 to 2 cm thick; equal above, but tapering to base due to the clustered growth pattern. The stem is fairly tough; often bald at maturity, but with whitish to pastel yellow flocculence from the veil when young. Habitat Honey mushrooms are parasitic on or up against broadleaf trees, including fruit trees in orchards; also occurring as a saprobe on stumps and dead roots and occasionally on fallen branches. They prefer forest settings. Spore Print Creamy white. Season Honey mushrooms can occur as early as late July although they are most common in September and October. They can grow well into November. Gills The adnate or more often weakly decurrent gills are crowded and flesh coloured, gradually becoming yellowish and finally developing rusty spots at maturity. Edibility Typically young caps are best to eat (must be cooked). Stems are fibrous making edibility a challenge. The best time to gather honeys to eat is while the veil is still attached (whole or in part) to the stipe (stem). Once the cap opens, the mushroom becomes more watery and brown – this may cause stomach upset in some people! Always fully cook caps when young. Other Name Honey Fungus.
