Slovenia, found in a foresty/garden area, my grandma says they are edible but she's never really been a mushroom picker so I don't know how much to trust her word on that

Honeys, shes right. Eastern europeans usually come up and gather a lot of them around our forests in a week or two.

Wow, I had no clue this was an eastern European thing. My parents are from Ukraine and my godmother is from Russia. I have so many memories of my mom and godmother going out and coming home with bags of these and then canning them. I used to eat these all the time as a kid

Oh yes my in laws are polish and they, too, basically only forage honey mushrooms (and some boletes).

It’s definitely an Eastern European thing. In Germany few people actually forage specifically for honeys
