蜜環菌（学名：Armillaria mellea），又名榛蘑、臻蘑、蜜蘑、蜜环蕈、栎蕈，分布於全球各地區，為小皮傘科真菌，也是偶見木棲腐生或木棲寄生的野菇之一種。該種黑色菌素生長於春天與秋天的低中海拔林區，數天生，肉質軟韌質，菌蓋2cm－8cm寬，全株可食。 野生蜜環菌能在针叶林中大量生长，是极少数不能人工培育的食用菌之一。 蜜環菌具有一种特别的鲜美味道(也有人认为不好吃)。东北名菜小鸡炖蘑菇，就是采用中国东北地区当地的蜜環菌以及农家散养的鸡烹饪，是东北人招待贵客的著名佳肴。但是不耐受这种真菌的人食用后会出现胃肠不适。 主要特征 多数蜜环菌整体呈蜜黄色或淡土黄色，也有颜色发白的。菌盖顶部通常有小鳞片，有蜜色菌环。有资料称蜜环菌会在黑暗中会发出微弱的光。

Armillaria mellea, commonly known as honey fungus, is an edible basidiomycete fungus in the genus Armillaria. It is a plant pathogen and part of a cryptic species complex of closely related and morphologically similar species. It causes Armillaria root rot in many plant species and produces mushrooms around the base of trees it has infected. The symptoms of infection appear in the crowns of infected trees as discoloured foliage, reduced growth, dieback of the branches and death. The mycelium is capable of producing light via bioluminescence.
The mushroom is widely distributed in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, usually in heavy soils with temperatures under 79°F (26°C). It typically grows on hardwoods but may be found around and on living and dead wood or in open areas.
