Honey mushrooms are edible and sometimes choice. Those growing on hardwoods seem better tasting than those on firs, although the differences may be species specific. Here, Armillaria ostoyae, is fruiting on climax alders, which are transitioning out as the fir forests recover, dominating the canopy and shading out the once pioneering alders that typically come in directly after a clear cut. Both a saprophyte and a parasite, these species (including A. mellea and A. gallica) project black, cross netted rhizomorphic mycelium, the cause of laminated root rot. Armillaria ostoyae claim to fame is that it is the largest organism in the world, with a colony in eastern Oregon U.S. that is more than 2200 acres in size, more than 2000 years old. The trees are killed in mass, and the ecology transforms into meadows.

Not your usual Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea) pic, this gone over bouquet illustrates how character can change with maturity. A different kind of beauty is revealed through the passing of time. A theme I seem drawn to capturing often as I look back through my photos. .

I discovered this lovely display of Shrimp Mushrooms, A.K.A. Aborted Entoloma (Entoloma abortivum). They are growing with both Entoloma and Ringless Honey Mushrooms.
.
.
Most Entolomas are known to be poisonous. But after they become parasitized by the Honey Mushroom they become a sought after edible. Oh and honey mushrooms are a known edible as well.
.
.
There is also argument as to which mushroom parasitizes which, but most importantly, as I say it time and time again. Always be 100% positive with your ID of any wild mushrooms or plants.
.
.
My experience eating. . . well more like tasting these Shrimp Mushrooms was unpleasantly bitter, so I spit them out before consuming anything. Pay attention to your senses always. Even though I know my ID was spot on, the taste was off and unpalatable. I reached out to other foragers asking about my experience and they expressed that maybe the ones I found weren’t young enough.
.
.
I’ll give them a try again next time I can find some.
This is @breakfast_of_champignons back again with more #fungifacts for this week's @unbiodiversity #takeover! // #Armillariamellea growing in New England
Fungi are amazing because they have SO many diverse ways of surviving.
Some fungi form friendly symbiotic associations with trees (called #mycorrhizal), while others take, take, TAKE.
These are the #parasitic fungi like Armillaria mellea and it's family members, the #honeymushrooms, who feast on the nutrients in trees both dead and living (making this fungi a facultative #saprophyte). Infected plants will deteriorate, although they may exhibit prolific flower or fruit production shortly before death. It's amazing what strength a little fungus can have against mighty forests.

Honey mushrooms! (Armillaria mellea)

Did you know that the largest living organism in the world is actually a species of honey mushroom? This massive network of mycelium spans 2,384 acres of forest in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It is older than Christianity (estimated to be between 2,400 and 8,650 years old) and could weigh between 7,500 and 35,000 tons. It truly is a humongous fungus!
