Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria mellea), also known as the 'oak mushroom', are a genus of parasitic fungus that live on trees and woody shrubs. These mushrooms with colour like honey typically appear in large clusters on trees in the fall after rains, but are found nearly year-round in warmer climates. Honey mushroom grows on dead wood as well as on living plants and is capable of attacking and killing many kinds of trees, especially oaks. This mushroom has firm meaty texture. Only the caps are used. When dried it is used in soups, stews and for mushroom bread. Many people use the buttons for pickle.
