Bolete & Suillus Mushroom Identification with Adam Haritan

[@NutritionKnows]

You're quite an excellent, natural speaker. You've got all this massive mushroom info right inside your head and you present it to us flawlessly. I plan to view many more of your informative mushroom videos.

[@LearnYourLand]

Thank you!

[@sirlurksalot4454]

the beauty of editing

[@beadlebb22]

hey adam would love to connect with you so i can get some direct info from you on a few questions!

[@dandesrochers363]

Adam now's his stuff not only mushrooms but plants,trees awesome young man coming from an old foggy

[@anna_and-san]

Thank you for your professionalism! I’ve learn a ton from you about “American” mushrooms. I’m from Poland and my Polish grandma was the best mushrooms specialist I’ve known. I have learnt a lot from her. But after a change of continents my mushrooms self esteem dropped to the floor. Now I see that the American mushrooms are not so different from European ones. Thanks!!!!

[@TomBrooklyn]

Very well presented! Adam provides a lot of information in an easy to understand and conversational manner, and appears to do so effortlessly without a wasted word or hesitation. Every second of this video is vibrant and informative.

[@codyrose1511]

Man so grateful to have such a knowledgeable person to go in depth and willing to help educate us for free.

[@trimbaker1893]

HI Adam, I have foraged some Suillus pictus mushrooms this evening. I sure enjoy and appreciate your style of description. When you give details, you give them at least two ways and this imprints the detail into my mind. Almost no person I have learned from is better at politely driving information into long term memory better than you. Good job Adam. Truly, George.

[@trimbaker1893]

Good morning Adam, George here. I can still remember Kings Play Chess On Fine Grained Sand. I want to thank you for your pleasant and meaningful teachings. Thank you.

[@happyhippeemama3020]

I found suillus granulatus today (my first time) and because of your video, I am now confident it is that particular one. Thank you! Very informative. I've lived in the Rockies for a year now and I am going to binge on your videos for getting to know my wild grocery store! Thank you, again. Cheers!!😎

[@asathesinger]

This video is very in-depth. I appreciate that you talk about what the mushrooms' roles in the forest are, and some science. It makes one aware that there is so much more to dive into!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Amanda! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@abrotherinchrist]

I found several specimens of suillus pictus in my yard today. This is the second one today your videos have helped me identify including the hygrophorus milk cap. Thanks!

[@honeybunny2245]

I'm so happy to have found you. You're brilliant and I'm loving all you have to offer

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks! :D

[@deminybs]

Agreed

[@whome7004]

My My My Adem is my ugly brother, brother from another mom,yet Brother no doubt, He is Good Dude, Happy u found your favourite Fugue, we all are part Fugue, Breaking New! I sure am!

[@artiesanchez]

Your passion comes through in your presentation. Great information!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Arturo!

[@gcxred4kat9]

I'm new to mushroom hunting, but you are currently my go to guy!

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

You present so well, Adam and the information you give is succinct, clear and easy to understand. I love your mushroom videos and have learned a lot. I live in the Boreal forest in Northwestern Ontario and we have many mushrooms - I have found around 50 different species in my own property of 87 acres. Your videos are a part of my ID process, along with my books and apps. Please keep on making your videos!

[@javajoust]

Adam, first time seeing your video, You sir are a treat to watch. My first impression was that you had not a clue what you were promoting. I figured out seconds into the video that you were an actor hired to promote a business venture. You could easily be in theater or stage. After investigating a bit further I realized I am blessed to have been introduced to you. You do have passion that few others find. Thanks.

[@LearnYourLand]

Why thank you! However, sometimes I feel I do have no clue what I'm promoting. :D :D I like mushrooms, plants, trees, and all that that comes from the land I explore. I get excited, hit the record button on my camera, and videos like this are created. Thanks for watching and commenting! -Adam

[@jjkairos7317]

I literally collect somewhere between 180 to 200 lbs of granulatus when they're in season here. I find that they are underrated because people do not know that they are BEST dehydrated first which greatly improves their flavor and texture- on par or even rivaling the best boletes. Of course mushrooms are each unique and each require their own unique culinary attention. My supply each season lasts the whole following year even after giving away many bags of mushrooms. Dehydrated they actually make a wonderful rich tasting chip, i've often eaten them just as is. Dehydrating is best and then if you rehydrate in a soup, stew, or sauce the texture is greatly improved- it even nearly eliminates all the sliminess of the cuticle

[@sfranken2228]

With what do you dehydrate, what has worked best for you? Thank you. (3 yrs later, but just maybe an answer.)

[@katrisley4305]

I think it's funny that your videos, which one might file under my recreational/druid/hippie interests, are clearly explained with excellent enunciation. Yet, the computer program tutorials I force myself to endure are usually narrated by mumbling kids with paralyzed tongues (or, perhaps, oversized tongue piercings) who feel the need to say "um" every other word amidst nothing but rapid-fire sentence fragments that never find their point. THANK YOU for treating our ears respectfully.

[@rilofulton]

Hahahahahah

[@poetryme7383]

An important point you made here was, it's not just where they are that's important to a mushroom lover, but when. I get a little frustrated when other mycophages say they are unwilling to share the location of their mushroom spots. I mean, you can have 50 different locations, but keeping track of them all is next to impossible outside of a community of fellow mushroom lovers. It's my belief that nature provides more than enough for everyone, and mushrooming is a way of life that is best when shared:) My sincere thanks, Adam, for all the hard work and time you spend sharing and educating about this way of life:)

[@ladonnad.steele2470]

Awesome to watch you! So glad you LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Ladonna! :D

[@ApexHerbivore]

Suillus luteus, the Slippery Jack, is also worth picking. In Poland they are pickled. Delicious!

[@spiderlee5585]

I love this genus. ^^ One of my favorite finds was a patch of Suillus bovinus growing in a semi-circle on the hillside in my backyard surrounding a two-needle pine. Nearly tripped on the first one, and found a beautiful salamander hunting gnats and beetles on another pair nearby. The rest of the week I kept finding more and more around each two-needle pine tree I found. Must have been a good Autumn! Thanks for the video!

[@Nick-Nasty]

i am so glad i found your channel! sooo much awesome info.

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Nick!

[@thedawg2510]

Bro is looking like an 80s dance/workout instructor lmao🤣🍄❤️

[@rosinagalbraith9306]

It would be helpful to include the region in the video description. Love your enthusiasm though!

[@brent3611]

Dude, you're a beast. Much respect.

[@PhilaPeter]

@Learn your land, could you make an exhaustive video about Boletes. I have a lot of beautiful boletes in my area (SE PA) that look like edulis but are super bitter. They tend to be brown with white undersides. My audobon guide to NA mushrooms got rained on and I haven't been able to identify then well using the internet.

[@markekar6021]

just came back from a mushroom hunt with my father here in new jersey, USA. counted 66 boletes, about 20 suillus and two dozen milk caps. decent find. we go like twice a week.

[@TheShredfest89]

I love your channel man. Would there be any way that you could make different playlist for your videos? For your mushroom videos can you have a playlist for mushrooms?

[@SolarAngel666]

Absolutely love your channel. So thankful for your vast knowledge.

[@naturalamerican9238]

You sir are a very knowledgeable person. I watch your videos all of the time.

[@annestudley8235]

Great video as always, Adam. I find myself watching them again and again, trying to drill this information in to my head. The other day I found something that looked similar to the suillus granulatus except that it wasn't extremely slimy and left a distinctly yellow spore print. I found it on buried wood in a largely fir forest but with some birch and maple dispersed throughout. The ground was almost covered with moss. The underside was also yellow with very large pores - almost gill-like. But after leaving overnight to get the spore print, the underside turned brown. Any ideas on this one?

[@christinedavid9313]

That was very educational. Unfortunately i cant apply the knowledge i gained from this video because i think theres no suillus or chanterelles or boletes herw in the philippines. But still im addicted watching videos about mushrooms most especially this channel.

[@DavidMartinez-xr3dh]

Hi Adam . I have seen your videos. Everything is interested, and very well explained. I dont have that much of experience but i have been hunting for the lobster mushroom and haven't had any luck. Do you have any advice or something more specific of were to look. Some people have told me to look around lactarius and i have but haven't seen any lobster. Is there any time of the year in specific? I live in Terre haute Indiana

[@jasong4879]

Always informative and well spoken!!! I wish you were here in the PNW to do videos of species specific to this region!

[@mistagregory]

I just found a big patch (about 50) of Slippery Jack Boletes, Suillus Lutes, in my back yard. Cooked some up for dinner and they were fantastic. Just moved to the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia and am having a great time finding mushrooms here. Thanks for the great information, presented so well.

[@joshuagibson2520]

My favorite bolete \ suillus. Young ones that havent broken the veil yet. Pristine and beautiful.

[@joshuadavid2259]

So informative and i question alot of poeples theroys but you speak so fluent i can tell you have memorized all of this lol

[@1thebeatlesfan1]

I am so happy I came across your video!! I found these outside of my job of course next to a pine tree! I'm taking them home to dry and make a tincture out of them, but wanted to ask if they'll do well if i wash before I dry them out?

[@indianriverboil8218]

I find my best mushrooms when I take that extra step. It is kinda magical.

[@neonfear]

Fantastic! I love the thought of them being all around, just not making themselves known to us 😁

[@IIrandhandleII]

Very good video, I would like to see more mushrooms/diagrams and less of the speaking cuts. Thanks for the amazing info!

[@MannyWC]

I just discovered some Suilus and broke the stem away from the cap. There were tons of larvae oozing out:) What say you about these larvae? If they are not visible yet, do you think cooking kills them?

i have been out gathering different mushrooms then come back and compare them with your vids ...but what do you mean by a spore print...i live in maine

[@nicucristian6030]

search it on youtube. you put the cap on a sheet of paper and wait for an hour to realese it's spores

[@mujkocka]

What do they smell like? Does it bruise too? :-) thanks for educating us

[@Elon_Trump]

I have some boletes in my yard (which is pretty much forest) they stain blue very quickly when even slightly touched. Are these are poisonous kind? I have silver maple, oak , and beech trees with a few conifers mixed in.

[@LearnYourLand]

Shane - it's difficult to say without actually knowing which species it is. Do you have any photographs?

[@krisk255]

Finally!!! I've been trying to id a shroom from WNC and from this video (and verifying in a book afterwards) I'm 99% sure I have Suillis Granulatus. Looks like mushrooms for dinner :-)

[@TomBrooklyn]

Is WNC Western North Carolina?

[@polmishap5287]

Take spore prints to be more sure... Don't guess with fungi.. Know, if 99% sure, leave it. Only 100% ID of safe edible is worth eating.

[@amospena2046]

You look like the UFC fighter Uriah Faber. Good video

[@lonewolf2364]

I have a boatload of what I’ve I’d as cracking boletes but am afraid to eat them. I have a small parcel in the Illinois valley s.w. Oregon. Many pines and Doug firs. Wish someone could tour my place and advise me.

I would describe Suillus pictus and Suillus granulatus as “good” edibles. I have tons of these on my land and I do prefer the painted Suillus for the color and texture. Nothing like Boletus frostii when you find that one either. Like candied apple!

[@fritzhalbedl6676]

Thank you for all your informative great videos

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, thanks for watching them!

[@mistica-10]

How about a video on how to take a spore print plz 😁

[@ZeCabreira]

Been watching your videos about mushrooms for hours. Does this mean i'm hooked on mushrooms? I wonder, do you have anything about tropical mushrooms that usually grow in countries like the Philippines? Thank you. God bless!

[@AmandaPanda87]

Hey Adam, I found a patch of boletes that got parasitized. They smell amazingly good, but I'm not sure what's parasitizing them. Any ideas? Possibility that it could be edible?

[@kmd9999]

Love to see more videos about Boletes; there are lots of them in NY state...

[@LearnYourLand]

I plan on doing a few Bolete videos this summer and fall. There are quite a few mushrooms to cover!

[@cbradquillen]

I sauteed a batch of Suillus granulatus last weekend, they were not that good. I peeled the cap cuticles first, but they still had a laxative effect... no cramping or upset stomach, just the most gigantic dumps I've ever taken. I actually felt a sense of accomplishment when i saw my creations. At any rate, i recommend putting them in a soup or something, don't saute.

[@stepitup5409]

Haha in the woods me and hubby calls them all blt beoltes have the buns covered in the blt easy to name the sponge like pores and bun like texture... I try to teach this for newbies... There is a penny bun right common name... They are a cool family

[@garygerkin9988]

Very informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@brendan5232]

I've noticed you recommending against eating the stems of certain mushrooms in a few videos- but I must have missed the one where you explain why, is there a common reason or just variable reasons for different mushrooms such as taste/texture?

[@LearnYourLand]

Hi Brendan, the issue mainly has to do with texture. Stems *can* be tougher compared to the cap of a mushroom. It has nothing to do with toxicity.

[@truyennam]

excellent.

[@youjustwastedasecondofyour6293]

A fine vid again. Do you have suillus variegatus there? I just recently dried some and made a soup out of them and it was quite nice. When fresh, they have a somewhat sour/metallic taste that some don't like. They also have a really high iron content.

[@LearnYourLand]

I haven't seen any S. variegatus around here. Not too sure if it's a common PA mushroom. I'll keep checking though!

[@markekar6021]

for anyone in new jersey wondering... ive picked slippery jacks/suillus (i guess the dotted stalk or one similar to it), bay boletes (hard to discern many of them, theyre the common red/orabge/pinksih ones), brown boletes, bolete variipes or fissured bolete, tanned bolete (prawdziwki in polish, as i dont know the actual american name) bicolor bolete, green and grey knights, saffron and grey milk caps, a and gypsy mushrooms.. anyone know if chantrelles grow in this state?

[@1fanger]

Do you have Chicken Fat Suillus there in W. Pennsy? Here in Susquehanna Co., this year I found a bumper crop of Chicken Fat Suillus boletes. I love them cooked with chicken and different kinds of wild greens. And, remember, not only are fungi essential for vegetable life, but vegetable life is essential for fungi. They were created together.

[@LearnYourLand]

Yes... lots of chicken fat suillus over here in Western PA this year. And in fact, the newest video (to be released shortly) features that mushroom. I have some drying in the dehydrator as I type this.

[@1fanger]

Learn Your Land Great! Thanks

[@garywhitehead3392]

Very informative. Wish there were more actual mushrooms to look at. Thanks.

[@yergaderga]

Just had some suillus granulatus today. They're pretty good.

[@LearnYourLand]

I agree... I enjoy harvesting a few whenever I see fresh specimens.

[@yergaderga]

Learn Your Land Peeling the slimy part off of suillus is pretty gross, but they're way better than I thought they would be when I first saw them.

[@andrew8337]

I'm in PA!! Can I send you some pics of some boletes I found in the gettysburg area? I'm not 100% sure what they are...

[@christopherwolf2157]

I have a red bolite with yellow underside with pores and do bruise quite easily to a dark blue. Are these magic or just toxic? Reddish brown stem. Full red top at youth and then breaks up later during maturity.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

This video is of particular interest to me as some variety of this mushroom grows right in my front yard close to my lodgepole pine.

[@LearnYourLand]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll most likely release more bolete videos this year, so stay tuned!

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

Learn Your Land yup, decided to sub so Ill be lingering about for a little at least.

[@18IMAMGODINA]

I've picked up a bunch of these what I think are suillus granulatus , they have an orange cap , slimy , it feels like you are picking up rotten fruit when you are picking them , the inside of the stem was dark brownish color when i took a picture of it so it was either an old mushroom or just because it was sitting for a while and it turned dark . Underside has a lot of time holes like boletus , yellow , meat sort of looked like fish meat when I was cleaning them it was darker in color. What I am wondering is there any similar species to suillus granulatus that is poisonous , i wont worry too much about those that can give you digestive problems I am just worried about the poisonous ones .

[@sujin012]

Is it true that if you avoid red and bright yellow pored and blue-staining boletes/suillus/leccinum mushrooms, you'll only be left with edible ones?

[@yvonnemairose6100]

Your to blame for all my walks and looking at trash everywhere. 😆 I found an old man on my first actual trip to find something edible, not that I am limiting to that only but it was cool to actually i.d. something in the field then verify it with the correct spore print. Also another first. You've created a monster. 😆 thanks and have a great day.

[@threeredstars]

I was wondering if it would be possible to raise mushrooms on pine logs? Are there any mushrooms that taste good that would grow on pine? The reason I ask is that there always seems to be free pine logs but everyone seems to think that they are only good for firewood. Any suggestions brother? Love your vids and I always appreciate all your hard work and dedication. Thanks again.

[@LearnYourLand]

Pines may be a bit more difficult, as they contain resins that contain strong anti-fungal properties. However, check this article for a few species that can be grown on pine species: www.fungi.com/plug-spawn/articles/plug-spawn.html

[@whome7004]

Please let me be first on the list for When you do Foraging walks I got to see the Pastries and milk ,Q, do you know or how could one figure out fungi u should try to get around certain plants, such as Tomato plants or wacky tobaccie plants, I think things is a great question ,possibly because I need all the help I can get or possibly because I ask!

[@BumbuDapur]

I hope you make a video how to eat this, i mean how to cook this fungi is edible.

[@jim_tennant]

Does anyone here have any ideas on how to cook them specifically? Do you just saute them after peeling the caps? I heard they are good dehydrated and then reconstituted...but I don't have a dehydrator at the moment.

[@LearnYourLand]

Jim... in my experience, it all depends on the species. I've successfully cooked Suillus mushrooms without dehydrating or peeling the caps first... and they tasted great (texture was good too). I will dehydrate them if I find a surplus, though if I'm just harvesting for a meal or two, oftentimes I'll just throw the caps right into the skillet fresh.

[@jim_tennant]

Learn Your Land Thank you for the reply! I found a good size group of suillus granulatus...I ended up sauteeing some with egg and putting on toast, that wasn't bad. Then I decided to bread them in egg and flour with some spices, deep fried them, and froze then because of the surplus. I found the texture to be similar to puffballs...very soft, but good.

[@saratekie8883]

This is amazing. Thank you!

[@leroyjarvis5617]

Adam as usual you've put together a great video. The look alikes on this video, are they edible, provided I make the right id.

[@LearnYourLand]

Leroy, apologies on the delay in responding. Yes, the look-alike Suillus species mentioned in this video are edible.
