they appear to be honeys, but google on the internet and confirm, if they are honeys they are edible.

Heather,

I went to https://honest-food.net/honey-mushrooms-caution-and-pierogi/ and read through it.  I'm not sure, however, what the author means by the "ring."  From what I can tell, the ring is, well, a raised area near the top of the mushroom...like a ring on a finger (duh).

But my last photo shows the mushroom has no ring (at least that I can detect).

What do you think?  Maybe I should go grab a few and see if others do have a noticeable "ring."

Well, I had a couple of bucks and does stroll across the property today, and one of the does took a mouthful of the mushrooms.  She seemed underwhelmed...lol.

I would start by finding out what mushrooms grow locally for you and go from there for an ID.  Mushroom ID can be very daunting and if you are not 100% please don’t eat them

i can assure you though they are definitely not psilocybin mushrooms .  ;)

Groovy.

Your mushrooms may be gone by now, but another helpful part of identification is making a spore print and looking at the spores with a magnifying glass.  I like the saying:

"There are old mushroom hunters, there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters."
