   Never have eaten a honey because I know they may be disagreeable, but am   
   going to this year. They are supposed to be good parboiled. (so many   
   varieties that time of year, and they were down my list of edibles)   
   Most mushrooms around her get eaten up by deer (overpopulated---5 deer bag   
   limit here) and raccoons and maybe coyotes.   
   I know where some 'aspen scabrestalks' grow and can never beat the deer to   
   them. The 'short stalk sullious' work better because the deer don't eat them   
   till the slime dries. When they dry, they dissappear.
