So, for 5 kg of Honey fungi you need: 500 ml vinegar 500 ml water 2 table spoons of salt 1 table spoon of pepper seeds 1 table spoon of mustard seeds 4 bay leaves Garlic - this depends on one's taste You boil the funghi for 15 minutes and you drain them. After this you boil the ingredients above and make the brine. Then you stuff some garlic cloves with the mushrooms in jars and pour the brine on them. Seal and wait a few days. After about a week they're good to eat. Enjoy.
We call it "Mednjača" in Western Balkan, and that is simple translation of English name. I ate them before. I was not sure that this is the honey fungus. It had a bit of a strange smell. You can give the recipe for brine.
These are called Ghebe in Romania and beside just cooking them, we pikle them in a vinegar brine. If you want, I can give you the recipe ;)
