Armillaria mellea
Armillaria mellea is a plant pathogen and a cryptic species of honey fungus. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species.
Growing on a decomposed tree parts, closer to its roots, usually is found on oak trees but this one was spotted on the hornbeam tree.
The mushrooms are edible but some people may be intolerant to them.
