honey fungus(also honey mushroom) nounA widespread parasitic fungus that produces clumps of honey-coloured toadstools at the base of trees. The black string-like hyphae invade a tree, causing decay or death and spreading out to other trees.- Armillaria mellea, family Tricholomataceae, class Hymenomycetes.
These are highly esteemed, including the ink caps and honey fungus....- They are a pest in the eyes of most foresters, but many, such as the honey mushroom are edible.
- The trees are being replaced by another species, hornbeam, because it was feared that the honey fungus disease that has killed the mature specimens would also attack young chestnut trees.
