,  if you've never harvested a wild mushroom before, it's a bit like an adult treasure hunt.  I found these edible honey mushrooms yesterday in the hundreds!  They don't taste like honey, they're name comes from the colour of the mushroom not the flavour.  The caps must be well cooked and make a good addition to stews, pierogie filling and braises because of their thickening properties and mushroomy flavour.  Mushroom hunting is a skill that anyone can learn, it's fun and gives you a great reason to go outside in fall and enjoy the rain.
