Pus Honey is a type of slime mold that lives in symbiosis with
Pus Bees. The slime is green and ooze-like. If left in one spot, it can be seen to move in the direction of shade over the course of several hours, always attempting to escape the light. Consumption of the Honey raw is not advised- particularly during colder months, Pus Bees live within the honey to overwinter, and consumption of live pus bees results in
puking sickness. The honey is eaten raw, cooked, or brewed into beverages, to produce hallucinations and psychosis, which may last for several hours. Certain cultures use the honey for this purpose as a part of religious practices.
The Honey is quite cold hardy, but tolerates heat very poorly. Boiling will kill the honey immediately, and it will begin to sour if left out for more than a couple hours.
Soured Pus Honey may be processed into Snot Wine. This beverage is considered a delicacy among Hob Goblins. The drink has a more loose, translucent quality to it than the living honey, and is usually somewhat sweetened with sugar. The sour, bitter taste is very off putting, but the alcoholic buzz, mixed with the more mild, mellow psychosis that lingers from the Honey is said to be quite soothing.
