5 Edible Mushrooms You Can Forage This Winter

[@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.

[@christianteddy]

based af

[@DiscoveryWonders]

Same🎉

[@Gesundheit888]

I totally agree!

[@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!

[@DarkMoonDroid]

What a blessing this channel is! Thank you!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Jennifer!

[@CatsPajamas23]

Agreed.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@JastaAdventures]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@AndrewHarper-i8t]

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

[@mottodan]

[@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 !

[@TheIntuitiveBodyFoodieNetwork]

Truly love all your videos Adam. Thank you so much for all the time & effort you put into these videos and for all that you share.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@paolocosmo6310]

Great job Adam!

[@ZophiMichaels]

LOVE Oyster mushrooms, they're my favorite!

[@elainewalters5017]

Such a knowledge.

[@christopherholland9999]

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

[@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..

[@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.

[@chaffeehurlant5821]

Adam Haritan rockin the Carhartt Cryder jacket. Niiiice.

[@MvrKhan]

Thank you!♥♥♥

[@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. 👍🏼

[@katiebusby8000]

Thank you Adam

[@KAFKUBA]

Great voice, knowledgeable, best mushroom info on KZbin

[@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!

[@dianepesut337]

Thank you, this is most helpful. I live in NJ and my sister lives in NC. I sent her this video and we will forage together by phone in our separate locations .

[@elinope4745]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your video that helps people learn your skills.

[@sukjaiaemaim1912]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@mauricepaquette685]

[@DNGJustSnakes]

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.

[@jonesZ71]

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

[@enigma3654]

Have you done a video on taking spore prints

[@jimsmith1846]

This is the video I've been waiting for. Is it edible? Are there look-alikes? Are the look-alikes edible? Thank you very much Adam.

[@conniesrawsomekitchen]

thank you thank you thank you :) I love ur videos!

[@MrJakexbot]

Awesome video man! I have found almost all of these mushrooms in Illinois. Thanks for spreading the knowledge!

[@whyji5079]

I love your videos :)

[@crikeycrikeys9699]

Not so much edible but in NC I found Reishi/lingzhi for the first time may make it into a tea for immunity.

[@dondicey6528]

Hey NC mushroomer. I too live in NC, in the foothills area (WNC) and enjoy searching for oysters, honeys, brickcaps and wood ears. I find a good variety of edibles in the winter (its fairly mild here however, not like western PA) but the real interest for me is exploring the world of the polypores. There are dozens and dozens of wonderful wood decayers all over my woods. I can spend hours looking at the dead branches and "infestations" on dead tree trunks. Although I am retired and have "nothing but time", I do try to limit my shrooming to a couple hours per day, right about 2-4 PM before my afternoon chores start. Good hunting! DD

[@fouraces1949]

I always enjoy your vids...thanks 🍄

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, I'm happy to hear that!

[@rockberry9859]

Great job as always. Thank you so much!

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, and thank you!

[@alexpericot2914]

Awesome! So I watched your video yesterday and decided to go searching this morning. I found a huge cluster of Winter Oyster mushrooms 🍄 😊 thanks for the video

[@lindareese4579]

Good teacher...thank you so much!!!!

[@willytheriot8439]

I wish I was his camera man, so I could go with Adam on every adventure.

[@jeffseaton5193]

Great video! Appreciate you sharing this! Had the exidia recisa growing on a willow oak and never knew what it was. Also, found a bunch of chanterelles growing under this same tree.

[@jaynepeitavino3791]

You are extremely smart and well spoken.

[@stephenbrand5661]

I’m almost always glad for the milder winters here in the South but damn that snow looks nice.

[@BadAssEdwards1991]

Ha. Live in Wisconsin. You won't say that again.

[@linnymaemullins3319]

Thanks a whole bunch!

[@davidmatthes488]

"Thanks for your knowledge ".

[@jasondoolin6476]

New viewer here. Not only is your channel a gold mine of info but your videos are very well done. 👊🏻

[@vanadium789]

Thank you for all of these lovely videos. I just subscribed. ❤️🌱

[@MrFersher]

Awesome videos man. I'm a big fan. You ever come out to the west coast for mushroom hunting? There's a big community here in Oregon...Thanks for the videos

[@debbiedavidson7282]

Love your videos. Thank you.

[@gailsaer459]

Another good one

[@Cannabisoriganum]

What about winter chanterelles (yellow feet), hedgehogs, and candy caps? Near the coast here in Oregon, can still find the very last of golden chants, caulis, hedgehogs, winter chants, and candy caps. Cheers!

[@LearnYourLand]

Those are great fungi as well!

[@ericolens3]

I've seen a jelly mushroom before in Louisiana. And from time to time. After a rain or a dew grass morning we'll have the mushroom ring.

[@jameslaime7497]

Love your show

[@hpyle5592]

Great video, thanks! Where I am in southeast PA, I see a lot more late fall "oysters" than true oysters in the winter. Sometimes they'll have a subtle, but beautiful iridescence on the cap, like hummingbird feathers. They are more bitter than the true oysters, but I find the flavor a bit more interesting.

[@MilahanPhilosophersCorner]

Educational. 📚

[@ralberty]

had some Oysters with a stew I made other day, Nothing like Snow Shoeing Northern Taconic Range and harvesting delectable edibles.. ;0)

[@LearnYourLand]

Awesome!

[@TT3TT3]

Thanks!

[@catherinebinuyaed.d.6938]

You have such great energy about you.🌌

[@Lindisfarne666]

Brown to purplish brown translucent masses of gelatinous ear like material, growing on decaying sticks. Sounds delicious

[@billytalentrs]

Where did you learn so much about mushrooms? I love learning more and more

[@ArcheryFanatic2000]

I know this is an older video, but it is GREAT! Thanks Adam! As a newly energized mycology-nut, I am super stoked to find winter 🍄 🍄 🍄 (west MI)

[@vadaminot429]

I've had these jelly's all spring....

[@badeybushcraft4946]

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

[@LearnYourLand]

Awesome, happy hunting!

[@CatsPajamas23]

Finally! I ran into some wildly neon golden and orange (with pale periwinkle toward the bottom) almost translucent gelatinous frills that had the weirdest texture, and until now had no idea what they were! Immature amber jellyroll? I've looked at numerous websites and countless videos. Thanks! ( I love this channel. Your videos are a delight. )

[@vivianmarshall]

Thank you.

[@scorpion0123z]

Something i've learned over 4 years of robust hunting (i knew a little before)...Maitake, Honey's, Sulfer's, Lion's Mane, Oysters, Morels. Those were the mushrooms I knew pretty quickly. Now i've got Shrimp of the Woods, Black Trumpets, Chanterelles, some Crown Tipped Coral's, I've seen lots of Boletes...but don't know them yet, I've seen Velvet Foot, but didn't know that is what it was, I've seen Brick Caps, but didn't know...I've see Wine Caps...but didn't know. Each Season I strive to learn a new mushroom. I tell friends interested in the hobby, concentrate on the easy to identify Edibles, but be curious about all the other shrooms you see, eventually you will add them to the edible or inedible list. Oh yeah, forgot Pheasant backs...but mainly because they suck...LOL.

[@MrGreenotwo]

Ha first comment!! Awesome video as usual

[@LearnYourLand]

Excellent! Thanks for watching!

It just got warm and wet for a few days 32 degree lows and 50 highs. This is super warm for our Julies. It’s usually under 10 degrees F.

[@garygerkin9988]

I'm still finding oysters on dead elms and Ash. No brick caps this year but always looking while I'm out cutting wood. Thanks for sharing

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, Gary. Thanks for watching!

[@scottkers.4225]

Thank you Adam for another fine video. Thumbs up and have a great new year.

Thanks Scott! Happy New Year to you as well!

[@karinanalbandyan3009]

Thank you

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome... thanks for watching!

[@penelopepenobscot4475]

I found a large grouping of oyster mushrooms last January in Southern Illinois. Time to get out there and look for some more!

[@christinelyyy]

In China we were told that occasionally, consuming fresh wood ears can cause hives. It is recommended to sun dry them first.

[@mzlotus.3077]

Another great vid, thank you.

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@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!! 🙏🐦😊!

[@myDClife]

Great channel 👍🙌

[@sfaasd1893]

Happy to find you today; I've seen several varieties of mushrooms in my nearby woods this year. Ty for your several videos I've enjoyed. Is the jelly roll mushroom the same as the witch's butter mushroom (fungi)? Ty !

[@gpvaneron1584]

awesome! you just gave me inspiration to suck it up and get back out there

Ha nice! Hope you find something good!
