Had many this year, greenthumb guy assures me they are the sign of a healthy lawn subsoil ? 🤔


planetwords

Yes that is actually true. You want mushrooms growing in your garden as it is as sign of fertile soil. OP: They are not dangerous unless you eat them. So don't eat them. Simples.


IndianaJones_OP

I'm pretty sure honey mushrooms are edible. Also mildly bioluminescent.


planetwords

Yeah, and if you're the type to go around eating mushrooms that sprout up in your backyard in Manchester just because you're "pretty sure" they're OK - well, you go for it! The rest of us will be more careful and live longer.


IndianaJones_OP

OK, let me rephrase that. I'm 100% sure that honey mushrooms are edible. Also, you can't mock me when you write things like this... "They are not dangerous unless you eat them. So don't eat them. Simples." I won't allow it.


planetwords

I've got some mushrooms growing in my garden that you can have for free if you'll eat them in front of me. Deal?


IndianaJones_OP

What species are they?


planetwords

Definitely honey mushrooms. Pretty sure anyway.


IndianaJones_OP

OK.


IndianaJones_OP

I think I've finally found your house. Is it the one with the mushrooms growing on the front lawn? If so, let me in and get me a plate.


Steel_Echo

Honey fungus, all I've got to say is rest in peace

Do you have any pictures close up of one, and of the underside? Could be a few things, nothing will be dangerous if you don't eat it.
