[@oliverkalali]

The great thing about your body language is that your face is always happy and reflect enthusiast, while you don't show exaggerated and fake emotions and unnecessary loud voice. Your energetic and enthusiastic facial expressions seem very genuine.

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks for watching, Matthew!

[@Gesundheit888]

and most importantly (in my view) no up-speak or voice grovel !!!

[@PatchCornAdams723]

I've become totally addicted to this channel. Adam seems like such a genuine guy, and he's so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Also I love how he doesn't shill anything, or shove anything in your face. That's why these videos are like a digital getaway. He just wants to talk about nature and that's it. Based.

[@DiscoveryWonders]

[@Gesundheit888]

I totally agree!

[@mottodan]

You my friend are a very good teacher

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks Dan!

[@jrodaichon8595]

Yes he is!!

[@divadelatorre]

I agree. I have learn so much from his videos.

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

Oysters are usually a plentiful winter mushroom and easy to ID. The great thing about winter oysters is that you don't have to worry so much about bugs. Thanks for a great video to help me get through the snow days!

[@LearnYourLand]

Great points, John! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@mikemcguire8641]

Finally a true conformation that edible mushrooms actually are available in the middle of winter, thanks Adam for another great video, I've been wanting to go foraging but didn't think anything would be out there to harvest in January, looking forward to some warmer weather ! Lol

[@LearnYourLand]

Hey you're welcome, Mike! Hope you're able to find some this winter!

[@DarkMoonDroid]

What a blessing this channel is! Thank you!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Jennifer!

[@CatsPajamas23]

Agreed.

[@MizzDiagnosed]

Just starting wi4h 15 min today after a big rain week and found lions mane and tomorrow I'm including it in my son's homeschooling! Thanks and can't wait to see my little guy keep learning!!!

[@dkcorderoyximenez3382]

My wife and I forage 3-4 times per week...we rarely go home empty handed and...we are much fitter than most people our age... Great video...thanks..!!!

[@AlanKelly-nm9lx]

that's awesome!

[@DANKYdans]

I just received a Field Guide To Wild Mushrooms of Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic. by Bill Russel. I highly recommend this book those anyone reading this comment or following this channel. This channel is one of the few positive and informational creations out there. Good job my friend and to all those who enjoy Fungi :)

[@ziggys24]

I found Jelly's and Turkey Tails today, wish I had known they were edible, I would have harvested some. Back to the woods tomorrow.

[@kiralees909]

I've watched this video about 5times and I'm still getting new information....what's wrong with me... thank you Adam. I learne so much from your videos.

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks for watching!

[@nicB7777]

Me also...year after year!!! Thank you Adam!

[@headingoutside]

I have just discovered your videos, and I am astounded by your knowledge. I traditionally find three mushrooms that I eat, but I've been frightened to try others. Your wonderful teachings inspire me to expand my repertoire, and to take spore prints as an aid. Thank you so much.

[@dmunman]

Love your channel northeastern and southeatern pa hunter 49 years. Your doing a great public service

[@georgeriker4864]

I just want to take a minute to tell you, how much I appreciate , you taking the time to thoroughly explain this ! your video is awesome, the segments corresponding with the picture of the mushroom is perfect dude thanks! that's awesome !

[@lisabooker6405]

We have a lovely little (really it’s not so small) park area that the township has set up for school children to explore a lot. It’s open to everyone year round too. I’ve been practicing there and find quite a few mushrooms. It’s been really fun finding them and learning the different types. I’ve not been brave enough to eat them yet because I am so new but with your information I think I’ve gotten pretty good. Well fair anyway. Spore prints are essential I think for newbies like me especially. I wish I could tell you how much you’ve helped me and how grateful I am. I’d have to write ya a book! LOL Thank You so much for your generosity. The fact that you care enough about your fellow man to put such AMAZING videos out for free (I know KZbin sure don’t pay ya what you’re worth!) is priceless to someone like me. So thanks again and keep them coming. You’re truly making a difference in my life for sure!!! God Bless you and yours. Stay warm! My kids live in Lancaster, PA and they got a nasty ice storm today. Be safe. ~Lisa

[@LearnYourLand]

Hey Lisa, thanks so much for your kind words and support! I'm really happy to hear that you're enjoying these videos. I'm not sure where you live exactly, though if there's a mushroom club within the vicinity of your town, I'd strongly recommend joining the organization and attending the walks. After a few forays, you'll definitely feel comfortable and confident in harvesting and eating wild mushrooms. That's exactly how I got started.

[@MarkNowotarski]

Lisa, Just to echo what Adam said, I found a local mushroom club here in CT and they were extremely helpful. Also, I wanted to echo the virtues of small local parks for mushrooming. I have one near my office and often walk through it at lunch time. I think since it's so familiar to me, I really notice when something new pops up, like a mushroom. Not to brag (OK to brag), but I found some beautiful giant puff balls there, took a selfie with them, and now they grace with Wikipedia page for calvatia gigantea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvatia_gigantea

[@lisabooker6405]

Mark Nowotarski Oh my goodness those puffballs are HUGE!! I bet you were excited to spot them!! Well...ya took a selfie with them so it’s pretty obvious. LOL Thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoy this community as a whole. Most everyone is really helpful. Thank you again and have a blessed day!

[@MarkNowotarski]

Thanks Lisa. You too.

[@ab4690]

Adam I learned so much from you & successfully foraged mushrooms. You're so generous & to the point, your style of teaching ticks all boxes for me. Thank you!

[@Bea768]

You are great in explaining things. Thank you for adding so much information to my passion. Mushroom picking is like treasure hunt, very exciting!

[@stevenensminger5737]

My friend you are the shit when it come to mushroom knowledge I learn so much from you thank you so much

[@christinemeisberger8255]

My favorite thing to do on walks in the woods is to hunt for mushrooms. Thank you for making another great video! Your pacing and clean editing are great to listen to.

[@christopherholland9999]

I've always wanted to learn about mushrooms and your videos have really spurred my enthusiasm. Thank you.

[@Sara-pw1dx]

Adam, you've done it again! Another great video, lots and lots of useful info, and photos. We are going to have a warm spell soon and I am so encouraged by you, I know I will be hunting for these shrooms out there! Thank you!!!

[@LearnYourLand]

Awesome Sara! Glad you enjoyed this one! Happy hunting!

[@foodcraver4ever]

Thank you from Nova Scotia. I have a 100 acre property with a Christmas tree farm. I am now more interested in looking in the woods. Started with Chaga hunting and expanding my interest in other mushrooms.Your channel has been a huge interest and help. Thank you!

[@LearnYourLand]

Awesome, you're welcome! And thanks for watching.

[@adamo3561]

Thanks man .. will start forging this winter

[@dalemcmurray9708]

Need to spend a month having you teach me. Every thing you know. Or a year or more wow ya rock man awesome channel

[@dddrtko]

Thanks for another Great video Adam! Interesting and informative... Good Stuff

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@dustinsmith8341]

Would you be able to show how you do a spore print in one of your videos? That would be really neat! You're amazing!

[@LearnYourLand]

Hey Dustin, that's a great idea. I'll try to film the process this year!

[@WildandGrowing]

Great video! Thanks for encouraging people to get outside in all sorts of weather!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks!

[@visionquestification]

Thank you Adam for a excellent presentation! My wife and I r going to go layer up and go for a hike and look see what we might find. :-)

[@LearnYourLand]

Awesome, Alex! Hope you found something good!

[@LordJordanXVII]

I need to go have a look. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@aedleathers]

Another excellent video, Dr. H. Thanks for your hard work!

[@barbaramashburn7980]

WOW I didn't realize Adam's has a doctrine degree I'm definitely showing My blonde side... I thought He was just Fanawesometastic about Mushrooms.. LoL This is definitely My favorite utube go to..

[@katiebusby8000]

Thank you Adam

[@rockyroadranch72]

I was outside rolling up hoses for the winter when a term you use, "gelatinous lump," struck my funny bone and I giggled to myself... right before I heard a crack and I realized **I** now had a gelatinous lump in my pocket in the form of an egg I'd collected but forgot to put away. heheh I was born in Johnstown and have family in the area of Somerset/Nantyglo (sp, I left when I was 3) and I enjoy seeing what mushrooms I might have grown up near in another life. :-) Thank you for doing this!

[@JastaAdventures]

We have usually found oyster mushrooms very close to water, often on logs partially in a creek or just outside of a creek

[@Badhippy]

living in Alberta Canada I thought this would be a great video to watch as I may have some luck with these ones. going out today to look ;) Thanks for the video

[@smc278]

I’m in western PA,, as well. Your channel is the exact one I’ve been looking for. I’ve been wondering about foraging in the winter thank you for all you do and all your help.

[@jencurtis4627]

This was a very good one, Adam. Watching it I realized how much I've learned from you in the last 6 months. Thank you for everything!

[@AndrewHarper-i8t]

I find his videos entertaining and informative. Adam is my mushroom guru!😁

[@janinasprague8625]

I love your videos! I have become a confident mushroom forager, thank you for your sharing.

[@Ess-Ess72]

I have a slightly different take than Mathew... Now, I enjoy your videos greatly, and save them to a private playlist for future reference. Your detailed descriptions are easy to comprehend. Overall, I commend you on your obvious love and enthusiasm for edible fungi. I absolutely appreciate your knowledge and desire to share it with all of us. But... Sometimes, you're a little weird. Not saying it's a bad thing. I have several weird friends who would probably say that I am weird myself. And they'd definitely agree with me about you. So... From one weirdo to another. Stay weird my man. And stay in the woods! ✌🏻

[@barbaramashburn7980]

Adam isn't weird He's Fanawesometastic!! 🙏🐦😊!

[@ruththinkingoutside.707]

Always love to see a new video from you Adam! You're a fantastic teacher, thank you so much for sharing all this information with us. This winter I finally found the Greenbacks, and I was confident about the identification because of your video on them, the ones I found were virtually identical to the ones you showed, and sharing the log with turkey tail 😊 thank you for all the hard work you put in, I know many of us are very grateful 😊 happy New Year!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thank you Ruth! It's always great to hear from you, and I appreciate all your support! Happy New Year to you as well!

[@adamaj74]

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome!

[@MarkNowotarski]

Great video. I was going to take a break this winter on mushrooms, but I guess it's back to the woods!

[@EvilMonkey8366]

I really enjoy your knowledge and personality! Thank you for your information!

[@chaffeehurlant5821]

Adam Haritan rockin the Carhartt Cryder jacket. Niiiice.

[@BohemianAdventurers]

Thank you Adam, much Gratitude 🙏, from MN I hadn’t thought to even look around in the winter, but I’ll definitely keep my eyes open and an open mind while out doing our winter time activities this year. Be well.

[@Mix-dg4tf]

It’s so nice to listen to and learn from a true master. You’re not only knowledgeable, but also personable and willing to share from your vast knowledge. Good job and keep up the good work, it’s very much appreciated by this Mainer. 👍🏼

[@kennethbutler1343]

I find Oysters all 12 months here is a Chicago burb. This Jan and then in Feb I found them during thaws as well as last Dec. Interestingly, I've never found them in March!

[@Groucho-tg1tx]

I found a ton of hen of the woods recently in Chicago north burbs. Delicious

[@guylainest-georges307]

Indeed ! Very good teacher, bravo!

Your A Very Intelligent Man, Adam. Especially For A Man Your Age, True Wisdom Usually Comes With Age And Experience. I'm 44yrs Old This Year And Have Been Burning Amber Jellyrolls On Sticks Since Boy Scouts And Never Knew They Where Edible. Thanks For The Knowledge And Next Meal. Any Recommendations On How To Cook Or Prepare Them??

[@angel794]

Thanks, again, Adam for sharing your vast knowledge and enthusiasm with us. I am a happy mushroom forager, who just moved from Virginia to Central Portugal, which is a gold mine of mushrooms! Found black trumpets, parasols & white chandeliers, all good to eat, plus about 15 kinds yet to identify. Nothing like a hobby you can eat!

[@jt414]

Thank you I grew up in Bedford county PA But now I'm down here in Louisiana I just accidentally came across a big cluster of mushroom on dead log it's like 48° here I love mushrooms and these looked SO good I came to look them up -- -- seems they are Oster Shell -- thank you so much for your help!!🌻😊 Going to pick and cook!

[@davidmatthes488]

Thank you for this wealth of knowledge man! I have been foraging my whole life around the midwest and your videos have helped give so much clarity to questions I found myself asking while out in the woods. Cant wait for spring mushroom season here in Northwest Indiana

Thanks for another excellent video, Matt. I've learned so much from you over the years for my own enjoyment as well as my lessons with young students in the field. You're also my go-to when my friends new to fungus ask for edu. videos on the subject. My motto this winter will be:" So many Saprophytes, so little time! Happy hunting!

[@ShaglusZ]

Another great vid Adam...Love it...This spring can you do a video on cleaning and preparing mushrooms..especially boletes and coral or cauliflower mushrooms..thanks again...

[@LearnYourLand]

Great suggestion! I'll see if I can film something related to that topic this year.

[@kleineroteHex]

I need to go out into the woods!

[@sonofabear]

This will be useful when the snow melts this week. Otherwise I can barely locate the mushrooms with all the snow.

[@badeybushcraft4946]

Thanks for another great video! I'm hoping to get out mushroom hunting this weekend!

[@LearnYourLand]

Nice Todd! Enjoy your trip, and hopefully one of these days we'll get to explore the woods together!

[@burgersam1]
