Dear All,                    Oct 4, 2012
    The rainy period has generated a few mushrooms in North Alton. Today I 
noticed some honey mushroom (Armillariella mellea) just coming up on Spruce, 
damaged live in 2010 & cut spring 2011. Usually I have seen them on Poplar.
    They were abundant on Poplar stumps about 30 years ago and, given their 
reputation for being good to eat, I tried fried fresh, boiled fresh, dried 
and used as soup; all to no avail because they always had a disagreeable 
metallic taste. Some at Sunken Lake were equally yuck.
    I am wondering if by bad luck I tried two metallic clones. Has anyone 
found then to be good to eat ?

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
