Phil Us people in the northeast have a tendency to speak faster than other parts of the country. It's funny, whenever I head down south, I always have at least one encounter with someone where I'm thinking to myself "gosh darn, everyone talks so slowly down here!" Side note: I watch any and everything with subtitles if available, my friends have always made fun of me, but i stopped caring when I realized how often I didn't hear what was said. Rarely do I fiddle with the remote in regards to the volume. And with this day and age of having the privilege and ability to rewind tv all willy nilly, and super quickly. It makes me feel as if that allows for us (humans, but specifically Americans) to waste even more time in front of a screen instead doing something more physical, or at the very least, something more productive even if it is sedentary.

At the risk of being overly green...I recommend always cutting off the mushrooms with a knife to preserve the integrity of the mycelium.

[@LearnYourLand]

I agree in most cases. When showcasing identifying features for teaching purposes, I feel it's best to show the entire mushroom (even the bottom of the stipe). Many key identifying features can be found there (shape, color of mycelium, volval remnants, etc.).

[@desertweasel6965]

Mycelial masses are enormous underground networks. Twisting and pulling will not harm the mycelium.

[@tommitchell1908]

david mark Some saprophytic fungi have quite shallow mycelium networks that can be pulled up entirely when picked. Mycorrhizal fungi seem to split off quite cleanly though and have much more extensively developed networks as they have to connect to tree roots.

Found first batch of blewits ever yesterday based on this video (and enjoyed them for breakfast after waiting for the spore print this morning) I've also been hunting hen of the woods for 2 years and scouted out what I thought was a perfect mature oak forest. But I found it too late last year and found nothing despite miles and miles of walking. But today I found 9! I picked 3 and they filled a grocery bag. Thanks Adam! Your videos have turned me from a novice to a confident mushroom hunter. Although I learned from your KZbin videos, I would highly recommend your course to speed the process. Methodically going through the checklist of identifying characteristics and taking a spore print have allowed me to confidently try almost 30 mushroom species as well as given me a deep, deep appreciation for the land and complex interactions within. I wouldn't have accomplished this without your videos. So again, a sincere thanks!

Im a reiki practitioner,as well as a medical assistant.For many yrs I got into homeopathic healing. I always thought we are what we eat.

Foraging, we may have to do some day when the shit hits the fan but it’s also fun. My ancestor Vikings and everybody else’s ancestors, I’m sure they picked mushrooms in the woods?

[@1fanger]

Good job. In 5 or 6 years of consuming wild mushrooms (I do not go mushroom "hunting" - the mushrooms kind of find me, as I spend lots of time outdoors in my occupation), the literature I personally own fails to positively ID roughly half the specimens I find. Your videos have been a valuable source of info on this topic and does a good job in filling in the gaps. I do work at the many lake front communities over here in Susquehanna County and I get frustrated because a lot of times I see identifiable mushrooms on private property as I travel the back roads. The owners are never around so I can ask permission to harvest them. It is even worse when I see them a week later and they look too old to eat. AArghhh! Thanks. Joe

[@shanek6582]

as long as you're not jumping a fence, I'd just pick them in someone's yard. I don't see what trouble you could get in.

[@1fanger]

No trouble, the way you may think. The risk of getting shot at is the kind of trouble I`m talking about. You live in the hills like I do, you are respectful of people's property. I kind of wish it could be imported to some of our cities, though. It would send the proper message to career criminals.

[@penelopepenobscot4475]

As a landowner I appreciate your respect. I spend much of my time outdoors in the woods and meadows around my home just walking and tending my bees. I always carry a pistol and hate that I feel I must. It is frightening to look up and see a stranger looking back at you.

[@johnvanegmond1812]

1fanger......Mushrooms find me too. Sort of. I'm a garbageman and I spot mushrooms while out on my route. Sometimes I'll harvest right then, sometimes go back on my motorcycle. This past week I brought home so much Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) and Pheasant Back (Polyporus squamosus) that I had to can and freeze some. And I can eat a lot! Nice problem to have. I do always get permission first. I try to share the find with the home owner but most people seem to be freaked out by them. They usually end up telling me to pick them whenever I see them. We have a nice chat and I go home with the goodies. With fish and mushrooms, if you want more, share what you have. Or at least try to. Peace. (SE Iowa)

[@jsaabnh]

@1fanger Ask for forgiveness instead of permission in your case. If the property owners were to confront you in a hostile manner upon their return, be sincere. Offer your apologies along with your explanation about your passion for wild mushrooms... And how regretful you feel when you discover perfectly good food has gone to waste. Not just the spoiled food purchased at the market, or leftovers that get forgotten about, but the wild edibles growing in your yard or someone else's that goes rotten. How much better does it get than going directly from the earth to our plates. Now that's freshhhh!😀

[@dlasky]

I think it's important to mention the region where the mushrooms are found. I am from Africa and there are a lot of wild mushrooms here. Most of them are considered toxic (information passed through generations). However, I see a lot similar to these you are showing but have always been told they are toxic. Some exactly the same, such as the Puffball. I might be tempted to eat some of them but also I don't want to die.

[@dbaargosy4062]

I think he said he lives in south-west Pennsylvania

[@SirDydimus86]

Folks get hung up on "toxicity." Magic mushrooms are considered toxic. Most often, toxic means gastrointestinal upset: diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, etc. Our bodies are not designed to break down the cell structure of mushrooms, so cooking them, ALONE in their own juices, is best practice. You can also boil them for up to an hour and then cook them in a skillet afterwards. The 2 most important things to remember are to not eat any mushroom you cannot properly identify and to not eat them raw.

LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

I've always wondered about one thing when it comes to the US vs. European mycological publications/resources. Or, to be more precise, Polish resources. (I read those the most because I'm from Poland. And because there is a lot of them since most Slavic nations are sort of obsessed with mushroom gathering. Although I do read/listen to materials from other European countries and the US as well) I've never encountered (that I can remember) a mycological text from the US that mentioned scent. In Europe, the scent (and sometimes taste) is considered an important feature when it comes to identification. Even official scientific publications usually mention it. Pleasant and woody. Unpleasant, like raw fish. Characteristic. Like bitter almonds. Nutty. Like wet wood. Acidulous. Without a distinctive scent. Resembles gooseberry compote (and yes, they do get weirdly specific sometimes). Don't people in the US pay attention to the scent of the mushroom? Or is it because the smell is such a subjective sense? Is it a cultural thing? --- Also, a culinary tip about the honey mushroom. It's toxic when raw. You have to boil it in salted water for at least five minutes (I usually go for about fifteen minutes, just to be sure; also, don't breathe in the fumes, they give trouble to some people), then get rid of the water, and only then further cook them (ex. fry them or add them to a soup). The important thing is, boil first, then GET RID OF THE WATER. I've never met anyone who consumed honey mushrooms prepared this way who had any troubles. Though some still may be more sensitive than others, and definitely don't give mushrooms to children younger than six, their digestive systems aren't prepared for it. So as it's said In the video, always start with a small portion when you're eating something new.

Some people even get problems with honey mushrooms prepared your way unfortunately. The thing with honey mushrooms is that their toxins are heat instable AND soluble in water. Cooking them and throwing away the cook water makes it more safe i agree but if you cook them long enough the toxins also get destroyed

[@christianwai1796]

Fully agree with you in on the taste/odor point, for example lepista nuda has a VERY distinctive odor that is one certain way of distinguishing it from poisounous violet cortinarius species and for example in russula mushrooms taste is a key identifier

[@andriyshapovalov8886]

Thank you. Very interesting. How small is the portion would you suggest?

[@KrisMilochik57]

Thank you! Your videos are giving me a lot of information in addition to my books & phone apps. Since I'm in Columbia County, PA, I've found most of the ones in this video in my woods. Except for the elusive chicken of the woods and hen of the woods. I'll keep foraging...and...watching. Thanks again!

[@kileyrowe8091]

This might be a little ridiculous but I fall asleep so fast listening to your videos they are so calming and delightful I just relax immediately, one day I'll stay up long enough to actually learn something!

[@ronaldgoodrich5460]

Why do I keep finding mushrooms that are not on your channel? Did pick my first hen of the woods though.

[@joshcampbell2926]

Ronald Goodrich probably due to the fact that there are over 3 million known species of mushrooms and many more that haven’t even been categorized yet

[@DrEvil-os9dc]

I live in Vermont, I’ve been hunting shrooms for 3 years and I still haven’t found hen of the woods.. lots of morels. 5-10 pounds in spring. Also found some coral mushrooms, one type had very slender stem, white, almost tan. I cooked them up and they where so bitter and almost felt like my tongue went numb. Don’t think they where good to eat. Must of been some type of false mushroom haha. Got to be careful!

[@joyhamilton4248]

What a fantastic video. I am just starting out on the mushroom 🍄 foraging journey.

[@gosiarhomecooking5123]

I love mushroom. my family pick mushroom every year .I have so many recipes ! Have a wonderful day new friend Gosia

[@Stripeydave3]

Hey Adam, can you tell me something... I've heard not to eat Laetiporus when found growing on Eucalyptus or Conifers. Do you have any info on that or is it true? thanks for your great videos!

[@arboristBlairGlenn]

Dave I ate one from a Eucalyptus. Did not get sick but it was not as tasty as on Oak. Laetiporus gilbersonii if I not mistaken

[@pragmaticparadox5981]

Dude you're a beast! Truly appreciate the time spent and knowledge gained. Respect!

[@victoriamay2424]

Thank you so much for this great content! I recently became involved with a group here in NC and have thoroughly enjoyed what I've learned thus far! :)

[@LearnYourLand]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@AaronWatsonPiper]

Your course is going to deliver so much value to us mushroom identification noobs. Can't wait to see how it comes out!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks Aaron!

[@daveengstrom9250]

Holy Smokes! How does all of that fit in your head?

[@Daswassuphomie]

Do what you love, never work a day in you're life.

[@michellebeckstrom6110]

Thank you Adam! You are engaged in a very positive & helpful venture!!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Michelle!

[@JerseyJimFish]

Been looking into the collected works of Paul Stamets on the medical benefits of mushrooms. Never been foraging but will be! Thanks for this well made overview of the 16. I look foward to your class.

[@heatherldutrow1204]

Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.

[@rhysreid9302]

Does anyone know where I can source them

[@peterestrada8542]

​@@rhysreid9302 Yes, dr.jackshroom

[@bizffatar5824]

​@@peterestrada8542 Is he on Instagram?

[@peterestrada8542]

​@@bizffatar5824Sure , dr.jackshroom

[@debratwidwellmarshall6431]

​@@peterestrada8542 Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health , they really helped me .

[@rockkstarr101]

You're very educated in the mushroom field I wish you lived by me because there are so many various types of mushroom and I'm just terrified to eat anything other than a morel that I can identify.. even when I'm almost positive I know what they are

[@LearnYourLand]

Any mushroom clubs nearby? They can be a huge help.

[@rebeccagifford8088]

I suggest getting an Audubon mushroom book it explains everything

[@brrjohnson8131]

I remember seeing a chicken of the woods that was about 24" long, at least 6" wide, growing on the side of a large old tree. This was near the back of a gas station. It had been raining all week and kept me from examining it closely. It was huge. I remarked to someone at the gas station that what's in the woods beyond is sending a warning. Neither of us had any idea it was edible. I thought it was a warning like the brightly-colored tree frogs.

[@kiarawilliam9223]

I'll refer you to this online store....they're very reliable ship discreetly. they've got Adderall shrooms ketamine dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs!

[@kiarawilliam9223]

@trippy_psyche1

[@kiarawilliam9223]

ON INSTAGRAM ???

[@exactly3053]

Yay! More mushrooms

[@fullup91]

At 21:00 I threw the headphones off my head and swung around to swat a mosquito, that I heard buzzing around my left ear, perhaps looking for the juiciest patch upon my neck to land, suck my blood dry and leave me with an itchy red welt!.... All before realising that there was no mosquito sound without the headphones on! Silly me!! Great content as always..... (but you didn't identify a-a-a-alllll the mushrooms!😂)

[@dmax8361]

lol, me too. I first heard it at 17:15ish, then again probably at 21. in right ear, then louder in left ear, then right ear again. Rewound a bit just to verify it was coming thru my buds since they also have external multi directional mike built in. Great quality video in all aspects!

[@frugalbee7250]

You are a boss. Thank you so much for your video and for all you do to continue to educate us on wild edibles!

[@possiblyhuman3114]

You are still my favorite! I've been watching you since the beginning. You are one of the few people I'd trust to actually craft a useful and comprehensive course. It's too bad I'm a fast learner and a bit beyond courses these days or I'd try yours. :)

[@possiblyhuman3114]

Although if you ever start a plant course let me know. I'm still a little weak in that area.

[@RicharbY]

I don't know why I'm here I live in the city, but great video.

[@oyenations162]

Because you may end up lost it living in the woods one day especially the way things are going.

[@herbalwarrior5034]

Finally figured out who you remind me of ,adam, you may be mike tramp's love child. White Lion (WAIT) Love your work adam, keep it up. Sleepy hollow was awesome!!!

[@LearnYourLand]

Haha, White Lion! I have a vintage White Lion shirt from the 80's. Maybe I'll wear it sometime for a video. ;)

[@TNBushcrafter]

Kinda ironic, they were discussing Adam Tramp on Hair Nation on Sirius yesterday on the way to work.
