(I would wager I saw at least 100lbs of mixed age honeys in this particular spot one day!) They had never heard of the things, but after I cooked a few for the head chef I will never forget his reaction: “Delicious!-with a sweet note”. I picked about 20lbs of the most perfect buttons in an hour or two and then headed out to the nearest restaurant I knew that would buy them. It seemed nearly every tree in the entire forest I was in was infected with them. When I first became aware of honeys, I stumbled upon a large cache of them which boggled my mind. I love these mushrooms, but not nearly as much as the families from Eastern Europe who stalk our Minnesota woods. Their season is lightning fast, a few days late you will miss it altogether. This year has been absolute crap for honey mushrooms, but I have snagged a couple.
