It looks pretty, but ... it is dangerous to trees and spreads through the soil, via root systems. It is the fungus' consumption of the roots that causes trees to die.
You will often see honey fungus on tree stumps, or trees in an advanced state of decay.
There are no licensed fungicides in the EU to deal with this fungus. If you have it, all you can do is remove any affected trees and burn them, and excavate the soil and infected root systems.
Some people eat honey fungus, but only after it has been properly prepared and cooked. Even then, it often causes gastric distress and upset. I'd say it is best avoided.
Americans might suggest Armillatox, which Europeans can still buy. It's just not a licensed fungicide. 'nuff said.
