The ones I have a white spore print, white gills and scaly cap. (Honey Mushroom) gills connect to the stem, line go down stem to ring.

I researched for 3 days before I harvested any. So far I harvested 20lbs between yesterday and today, dried yesterdays caps last night and have more drying tonight. There is way more than I thought, when I cut my first ones I got down and looked under the logs and found that they go all the way under. There is probably 50 pounds left maybe more.
When you cook them the a thick liquid comes out, if you add water you get more thick liquid, but they smell good.



Nicely done! You are correct that the primary difference is the color of the spore print. Honey's are white, Galerina is rusty brown.

That wood pile should produce honey mushrooms for years to come! Good luck.
