    WOW! These look so close to Armillaria sp.! I'm guessing the substrate is one way to differentiate? Did you see any spores here? Posted 4 years ago

      Lisa, spores! Me? That’s funny. Just checking and it seems that most of the Honey (Armillaria) mushrooms around here all have much smoother stems. Posted 4 years ago
