Shaggy scalycap- easy to mistake for honey fungus This mushroom species is a classic example of an autumn arboreal mushroom. It appears regularly in October and grows until late autumn. It can be confused with the honey mushroom by inexperienced mushroom pickers. Shellfish is not poisonous, but adding it to a dish can effectively discourage eating it. Although the mushroom has a very pleasant smell, it is tough and very bitter in taste, therefore, although it is not poisonous, it is considered inedible. His hat changes a lot over time. At first it is spherical, covered with characteristic small hyphae, up to 4 cm in size, but with time it becomes flat, devoid of warts and can reach up to 20 cm in diameter. The color of the hat and the leg is yellowish, goldenish, sometimes orange-yellow. The leg is thick, chunky, often bent, also covered with rough spike-like scales, full inside. It shows a characteristic ring that fades over time. The fungus most often grows at the base of the tree, but this species can also be found at high altitudes. It is a fairly common species of mushroom. It grows on dead and living trees, mainly deciduous, most often near the ground. It can be found in parks, on roadside trees in deciduous and mixed forests.

Wao this mushroom is very different compare to the ones we have here. Does it taste better? I also saw that there is a mushroom called honey mushroom, does it taste like honey π
No, this is not a honey mushroom - this one is inedible
Oh alright. Would a non edible have a sweet name as such
The mushrooms look good like they are fit for consumption, but after reading what you describe it's a shame if this is not worth eating.π
It is unpalatable, but not poisonous π
Even though it's not toxic if it doesn't taste good then it doesn't have any fans.π
