Honey in Midtjylland, Denmark: live forecast and 14-day outlook
Mushroom season in Midtjylland, Denmark is looking good right now, with honey sitting at 55% 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.
It grows in clusters on and around living and dead hardwood, favouring stumps, buried roots and the bases of trees in broadleaf and mixed woodland, parks and gardens. It is a parasite and decomposer, so look at the foot of oak, beech and other trees as well as on rotting wood lying on the ground.
Late summer to autumn, mainly September to November, often after the first cool, wet weather.
Only the caps of young specimens are worth eating, and they must be thoroughly cooked because they cause stomach upset if undercooked or eaten raw. Parboil for several minutes, discard the water, then fry firmly with garlic and butter, or add the parboiled mushrooms to a slow-cooked stew or a robust tomato pasta sauce.
Edible only when thoroughly cooked, and only the caps are worth using as the stems are tough and fibrous. The flavour is mild and slightly nutty and it suits being parboiled then fried, but some people get an upset stomach even from cooked specimens.
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.
