The honey mushroom is here and its abundant. This wild edible is woodsy in the stalk but the cap is tasty, some say it is similar to the shitake and others just dont like it.
The honey mushroom is great cooked a while, like 15 minutes or so, and then pureed into a sauce or mixed in with mashed potatoes for an added flavor kick. As ususal I like to let them dry and then I crumble them into soups and omelettes. I still have some wine caps dried and in the freezer left over from spring and I also have some oyster mushrooms from New Mexico hanging around somewhere. I think its time for a wild mushroom melange of some sort. I always take the easy way and make lasagna lets see if I break out of my patterns.

I LOVE mushrooms!!!!!!
I've got a neat little cookbook that describes the popular shrooms, and includes a few recipes about every one of them.. Never done much with fall varieties..
I've never heard of honey mushrooms. They sound interesting!
You know, it sounds boring, but a homemade cream of mushroom soup is one of my all time favorite ways to use a variety of mushrooms. I'm excited to see what you make.

Gotta' try these....never heard of them, despite the fact that Kennett Square/, a town near Philly, is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) mushroom producer in the US.
Never heard of the honey mushroom...but I love them all, especially in risotto.

For lunch yesterday I did venison steaks , baked fresh Detroit red potatoes from the garden in tin foil,a garden salad, and baked beans in the crock all on the Weber grille.
