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"


Is this the Collins guide by Morton Lange & F. Bayard Hora (first
published 1963)?


No, it's the Photographic guide by Regis Courtecuisse ( fp 1999)
