- It sounds like you're confusing PRESERVING the mushrooms in honey with GROWING
- mushrooms in honey. I don't know whether preserving would work or not, but
- honey isn't a growing medium for any psilocybe species that I'm familiar with.

- On the other hand, I'm not an organic chemist either, so what the hell, give
- it a try. If the mushroom sends out a mycelium network, you're in business.
