Honey fungus/mushrooms

I was thinking of starting a thread about it. I had about 40 clusters in my back yard after it rained last week. I have gotten mushrooms after rain before, but this time it was all that same species you posted. In the past I’ve had 10+ species at once.

We have 3 dogs, so there is probably a lot of feces residue in my yard, idk if that matters.

If they’re honeys, then they’re most likely growing from a root of a tree. Could be an old dead root or could be alive—if you have a tree nearby, it’s most likely a goner, but you can see what an arborist says.

On the bright side, honeys are edible so long as you cook them. Harvest and feast.
