Are you seriously still using faceberg in 2018? You are going to get absolutely Zucked.

If only your Bigfoot research was as fruitful.

Thick liquid? I don't even know what to say except you better wash it down with some MALT LIQUOR.

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.

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.

I got them in a paper grocery sack, must be about 3 gallons of dried caps.

It was kinda creepy to see all the fungus larva trying to escape when the caps were drying. When the mushrooms look pristine and there are more than just a couple makes you wonder how many of those you eat. The buttons don't have any just the mature caps.

Still roughly 20 lbs. still on the logs, mostly buttons. I am kinda sick of processing them right now and my wife is tired of having mushrooms drying all over the kitchen.

I suspect I will not be able to let them go to waste and if they are still in good condition I will process them this weekend.

As far as the logs go, I had planned on sawing them into book matched slabs and mantle pieces as they have some pretty good figure, (flame, curly, fiddle and angle braid) not music grade but good furniture grade. Now I have to decide if I want an unlimited supply of honey mushrooms for the next 10 years or some nice table tops. Too bad you cant sell honey mushrooms.

I still have the rest of the tree laying where it fell, which is also seeded I am sure, I could just chop that up and put it under a tarp and still saw up the logs.
