Another successful mushroom hunt in Monterey, California November 2022.

I am rewarded with a special surprise upon removal of a large Bolete mushroom toward the end of the video.

So cool! You've got the finders 👁! Keep posting your adventures and we will be watching!

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

Thanks Annette! More wild adventures to come!

Fantastic video! This seems like a dream, hoping for a day like this sometime in my life. Keep the videos coming!

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

Thanks Max! Glad you enjoyed watching my silly video. Truth be told, I combined some footage from two days of foraging. Most is from the one more productive day tho. Ha! Even when I watch my videos it seems like a dream. Because it’s not very frequent that I find such abundance due in part to our dry autumns here in Central Coastal California. I just returned this year from hunting my favorite spot which produced nothing at all. No rain. No boletes. Ugh! It was pretty disappointing. Good luck hunting!! 👊🏼

Why do stop posting? What's going on? I love watching ur videos esp Hunting wild mushroom like this. It's so refreshing

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

Unfortunately I’ve been unable to do any porcini hunting due to distance, dry conditions, work schedule etc. Hopefully more videos sooner than later! Thanks for watching and your comments!

Great hunt 🎉

[@mmmmmray]

Those are great finds! What recipe do you plan to use?

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

Thanks Murray! It’s so rewarding to find and harvest boletes. I use a simple recipe of butter, garlic and light salt. I dehydrate the majority in a food dryer to be used later for soups, pastas, spreads etc. Good luck! 🍄

[@tonioesterreich5494]

Are you sure this is boletus edulis? Since the forrest consists of pines and your mushrooms look quite reddish, I think you found boletus pinophilus. It's a rare kind here in Germany.

[@sideslash6938]

boletus edulis, var. gandedulis

[@mushroomsislife280]

Wow that’s nice

[@howiefeltersnatch831]

Nice exactly where is this at? I live near the Garland ranch park.

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

You live in Carmel Valley and I’m hunting not far from you in a private forest along PCH close to Pacific Grove. As you’re well aware, boletes are found in most of the coniferous coastal forests. However, they’re really elusive and not frequently encountered unless ideal conditions are met (sunny warm weather several days after heavy rain). Look for shrumps under pine trees. G’luck Howie in your mushroom hunting!

[@toneenorman2135]

Absolutely beautiful! You are so fortunate. I found 1 when I was at point Reyes national sea shore…. I find other Boletes,but,not the porcini….some are pretty tasty….

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

@@toneenorman2135 I don’t always have good fortune when hunting for King Boletes. Unfortunately I often get skunked. I only share the good stuff. 🤫😝 Good luck Tonee!

[@toneenorman2135]

@@WildWorldProductionsTV awww,thanks for that!🍄

[@1.4142]

Boletes are the best with their beefy stalks.

[@corni97htc]

Congrats to your hunt! I also hunt a lot of king boletes and other mushrooms, mainly in autumn. Greetings from Germany.

[@WildWorldProductionsTV]

Greetings Johnny! Thanks for your comments! Best of luck on your mushroom hunting. I sure enjoy the beauty of Germany’s forests.
