Are Honey out in Drenthe yet?
Mushroom season in Drenthe, Netherlands is running strong right now, with honey sitting at 76% today. The typical season runs September to November, and we’re in October now
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.
In the same autumn woods and on similar dead wood look for sulphur tuft, which is bitter and toxic and can grow in lookalike clusters, plus oyster mushrooms and velvet shank on standing trunks. Around the host trees you may also find late ceps, hedgehog fungus and various russulas.
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.
Pick only firm young caps before they open fully, take the caps and leave the tough fibrous stems, and harvest from a fresh flush rather than ageing slimy clusters. Confirm the white spore print, the ring on the stem and the black rhizomorph bootlaces under the bark, since several similar clustered woodland mushrooms can be confused with it.
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.
