Ohhh! I want to try this! I was thinking the other day of trying battery-powered tea lights, but I'm not sure they would be strong enough. What did you use for light? Posted 3 years ago

The Honey fungus

Armillaria mellea is a basidiomycete fungus in the genus "Armillaria". It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected.
