One of the most popular mushrooms in my country

I Wish more people in US were this contagiously passionate about mushrooms :) greetings from Czech republic, it's like our national hobby here ;) after beer drinking, of course. Great content!

We have that "really pretty" guessowii type here in Minnesota. Every time I go to the woods where they flourish (hundreds!) I have to stop and admire the colors from deep red to golden yellow sprinkled wuth those characteristic amanita white spots. Then I fill up my backpack! I just saw a couple white amanitas which resemble the "pantherina-ish" type which you've concluded would be the canescens, right? I immediately thought they were lepiota rachodes but then had second thoughts. Such beautiful mushrooms! I gasp whenever they attract my attention.

Russulas are so brittle becuase they have very round cells in contrast to most mushrooms which have elongated cells. I am not sure why round cells make a mushroom brittle. (My guess is theres just less friction between all the round cells becuase spheres have a low surface area.)

"I just realized that looks like a butt." 😂 It's the simple things in life

Always great to have more of your videos but I was wondering if you had any tips on the other Ganoderma's. Up by us in Delaware I get a lot of Ganoderma, but they have the dark varnished caps and I have heard there is also another that doesn't normally have a stem. Ganoderma is one of my favorites, but I never know what species they are.

Thank you😊

Nice to see ya Anna, its been a sparce spring up on the mountain where I live near Cashiers North Carolina. I look forward to some wetter weather and mushrooms. : )

They almost look man-made. If that makes sense.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!! I hope to meet this mushroom myself someday.

Good evening

Probably chock full of muscimol.

Great find and ID. Didn’t know this one, but I think I’ve run across it before but was too lazy to attempt the dive into an unknown Amanita.

Found 5 in my yard in Florida yesterday 6/21/2024 south of tampa.

Small correction: Amanita ravenelii is in Section Strobiliformes, not Section Lepidella. Amanitas are tough. Nice job identifying this one.

Hi. I'd love to send you pics of a bunch of mushrooms I've found around my Brother's house. Love your vids my new fav ✌️👍

Always enjoy your videos. Very fun and informative 👍👍🍄🍄🍀🍀🌳🌳🤔🤔🤔

I found an incredible one of these today. Thank you so much! I wouldn’t have known it was ok to eat right away and it was fading… young mushroom so very little waste ❤

I wish I could send you my find of a big flush of Amanita Phalloides. I was SO excited when I came accross them. I did upload photos of them to iNat if interested.

If you found that Ganoderma curtisii specimen in that pine environment, you're likely holding G. curtisii f.sp. meredithiae (after mycologist Meredith Blackwell)

Which Amanita species is displayed on your shirt?

💚

Great video! I did not realize that A. ravenelii had such an elongated base like that. That's crazy looking! Also, that shirt is bad ass. I am on my way to your store to buy one now.

What a beautiful specimen indeed 😉, piedmont triad here near Winston Salem

I have found red reishi here in Wilmington. Do you think that is curtisii also? I have intentions of having it sequenced.

mushroom bothering 😂 can relate, especially this time of year.

Interesting and informative, as always.

HOT POCKETS!!

I love your videos. Thanks!

So here’s a Q , how can I grow this as I think 🤔 it grows out of trees.

Thanks ,I love what you do and how you share it . Really enjoy hearing what you have learned 👍 👍 ❤🍄 👌

I slice it thin on a mandoline and make it into jerky.

Neat! Learned something new, thanks!

My favorite edible. If you cook it right, it tastes like steak.

i find o lot of them today in the forrest.Greetings from Romania!

these grow in my area and i love finding them

Canzone napoletane del 1200in poi

I haven't seen a. Bisporus in the wild in the UK but we got lots of a. Campestris and a. Arvensis (very yum!)

Thanks Anna!

Im in Greensboro we should meet up for a forage sometime. Do you know of any North Carolina forging meet ups? Does anything like that exist?Just spent the night in Uhwarrie .Shrooms were popping off.

I never really ate them although they are fairly easy to identify. Would you mind describing the taste of this mushroom if you have any experience?

Can you tell me the difference between blusher vs panther cap? Also how big do blusher get?

Kinda cute if it wasn't so deadly 💀☠

Too nervous to ever try wild mushrooms but it’s interesting to hear you talk about them

💚

hi Anna, George here, here being up near Cashiers NC. the mushrooms here are just starting to fruit. it has been a cold spring and things like the Hemlock Reishi are three weeks later than last year. It sure would be fun to hike up here with you and learn more. I get a kick out of your style and enjoy your videos. smiling, George.

I haven’t tried looking at spores yet with my battery powered electronics scope but I bet it would work. Light enough to hike with.

That is........... teeny teeny tiny to be bisporigera and UV rooted quite deep...

One of my older mushroom books said they are edible after parboiling😮

I love your content!
