Default Honey fungus panic!

The message
from K contains these words:

Dunno about the ground, but treat the caps with boiling spiced vinegar
with a touch of sea salt, after soaking them and discarding the slimy
water.

Bottle, and seal.


But only if you are sure that it is indeed honey fungus.


Naturally.

Unless you are really that unobservant that you are unable to
distinguish between honey fungus and sulphur tuft, there isn't anything
poisonous you could confuse it with. Even sulphur tuft is bitter rather
than (as some books report) poisonous, and you might find shaggy
pholiota a tad chewy...
