Crikey - didn't know you could eat honey fungus ! The amount I've lobbed
off that stump and destroyed........what a waste - and I'm a vegetarian
too !


My Collins Wildlife Trust Guidebook to Mushrooms of B & E advises picking
young and eating as soon as possible, warning "as some ill effects or more
or less serious instances of poisoning may occur, possibly as a result of
the later action of micro-organisms"

I'm not doubting Rusty 'Fungus' Hinge's word, but thought you might want to
know.
