It fruits in autumn after the first cool, damp spells, typically once nights drop to around 5 to 12 C following steady rain. A wet late September through November in temperate Europe brings the biggest flushes.
Its underground black rhizomorph strands let a single individual spread across a forest, and one Armillaria clone in Oregon covers several square kilometres and is among the largest known living organisms.
Use it within a day or two as it does not keep well fresh; store the cleaned caps loosely in the fridge in paper. It dries well for long keeping, and you can also freeze it after parboiling, but never store or serve it without cooking first.
Can be confused with the deadly funeral bell (Galerina marginata), which also grows on wood but is smaller, has a rusty-brown spore print and lacks the dense tufted clumps and dark cap scales. It is also worth separating from the sheathed woodtuft (Kuehneromyces mutabilis) and from species of Pholiota.
The East Riding spans three contrasting characters: the rolling chalk plateau of the Yorkshire Wolds cut by deep, dry glacial valleys, the low flat coastal plain of Holderness with its fast-eroding North Sea cliffs running down to Spurn Point, and the lowland Vale of York in the west. The Humber Estuary forms the southern edge, fringed by mudflats and grazing marsh. Woodland is fairly sparse and mostly clings to the steep valley sides of the Wolds, where beech and ash over chalk (as at Millington Wood) give chalk-loving fungi, alongside scattered estate plantations, shelterbelts and mixed conifer blocks. Damp hedgerows, the wooded dene bottoms and old grazing pasture are reliable mushroom ground.
Lying on England’s drier eastern side and partly in the Pennine rain shadow, the East Riding is one of the lower-rainfall corners of the north, with relatively mild, breezy weather off the North Sea. Autumn moisture coming off the coast and the estuary is what really triggers the fruiting season here. This is open, farmed country rather than deep forest, so foraging means working the wooded chalk valleys, hedge lines and grassland edges rather than expecting endless woods. Unimproved Wolds grassland and old pasture reward grassland species in autumn, while the few mature woods near Beverley and the Wolds are the spots to head for.
