Mushrooms, or the fruiting body of fungi, can pop up any time of year. Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of honey mushrooms (Armillaria mellea) popping up in the woods. Honey mushrooms have the typical tall mushroom shape with a long, 2–6-inch stem, and a button cap usually 1-6 inches wide. Honey mushrooms get their name from their color, resembling the different tan shades honey can be.
