Hygrocybe reidii Kühner
Hygrocybe reidii is a honey-scented waxcap found in Europe, with an uncertain reported presence in eastern North America.
This fungus, Hygrocybe reidii Kühner, produces reddish-orange to reddish fruit bodies that have dry, smooth caps. The flesh of the fungus smells like honey, especially when the fungal tissue is rubbed or during the drying process. It is distributed across Europe, and has also been reported from eastern North America. It remains uncertain whether the population found in North America is actually the same species.
