Hey Brad, this was a great episode! I'm from Czech Republic and mushroom picking is our national past time. Czech people are crazy about mushrooms. Every fall the forest roads are lined with parked cars and everybody has a spare basket in the trunk just in case. An average Czech can recognise dozens of edible kinds and often many that are inedible raw, but edible after you prepare them properly. The lore on how to recognise them and how to prepare them as well as many recipes are passed on through generations. We love all kinds of Boletus mushrooms, but my personal favorite are Leccinum, those grow mainly under birch or aspen trees, and Armillaria and Clitocybe (or wood blewit), which are hands down the best mushrooms to pickle! I hope that Americans soon find their way to this amazing past time as well!

[@journeyandjoy]

Klára Law Marešová That’s interesting! My paternal grandfather’s family originated from the Czech Republic!

[@walterxbenjamin]

From the other side of the Czech-Austrian border, at least in the Wald- and Weinviertel people are crazy about mushroom foraging, as well. Sadly when I grew up there was a lot of panic about mushrooms being contaminated from the Chernobyl accident so we only ever went foraging once or twice when I was a really small child. Sigh.

"Why do you use a basket?" When you're trying to hit the word count

[@JP-kp5ph]

Leave the mushrooms you're not interested in, in this case anything but a bolete and chantrelle, to sporulate until the end of their life cycle. If you pick them but deem them unworthy to bring home, cut / crumble them up and spread them around the area to encourage spreading of the organism since mycelium can also grow from the fruiting bodies. Not mandatory practices, but it'll make your more experienced foraging buddies smile if they see you do them.

Tip for other collectors: Don't just rip out the mushroom, cut it wit a knife. this way the mycelum doesn't get damaged and they regrow more easily.

[@j.morganlooney1080]

This is pretty hotly debated so don't freak if you do happen to see someone pull

[@eljanrimsa5843]

And don't rip them out when you already know you won't take them.

[@jamesbergman5261]

I highly disagree. Leaving the stipe can rot the mycelium and risk destroying the whole colony. Twisting and removing the entire fruit body is much better for the organism.

[@ichbinklug7405]

Not true, its just Not relevant to the mushrooms if you Cut or Not, for many spezies its important to pull them out to identify

[@melenjuice2074]

Story time! When I was taking AP biology one of the only units I remember is the one on fungi. This is because fungi are everywhere and are actually related more closely to animals than any other kingdom. The mycelium (basically the roots of a mushroom and the main body of the organism) can be huge covering miles underground and you’re pretty much always breathing in thousands of spores. Therefore I eventually came to the conclusion that if fungi evolved in the right way they could totally decimate us. (After all there are plenty of parasitic fungi like the infamous Ophiocordyceps unilateralis) So in conclusion fungi rules us all👍🏻

[@AaronGilliland]

I like to think that nobody asked those mushroom guys to show up, they just sidled up to Brad and Vin and were like "Hey, did you know that the layer between the soil and the living plants is called duff?"

The mushroom Brad found by himself growing on the decaying log is a species of Russula, some edible and some will definitely make you sick, he was smart to leave it alone

[@eljanrimsa5843]

But he shouldn't have ripped it out in the first place. Nothing spells out "city dwellers" more than when you see perfectly fine mushrooms ripped out and thrown away. Russulas are wonderful for soup but you need to know what kinds grow locally.

[@elisebarrett357]

Wish he’d snapped the stalk, it looks like a leucopaxillus amarus to me- “too bitter to eat” according to David Arora

[@marchimedian]

It is definitely genus Russula, not Leucopaxillus. Notice the 'brittle gills' (the moniker for this genus) when Brad drags his knife across them. Some Russula species are extremely spicy when raw and need to be boiled in a change of water to make palatable, but there are no toxic members of the genus Russula. Even the species Russula emetica has actually been proven to be non-toxic, just unpalatable unless properly prepared.

Olivia Ferguson me me big disappointment

[@jharj71]

Brad's personality is so ridiculously amazing that I feel like he's one of my friends. I feel like I know him, and we've bonded over so many things but when in fact, he's probably reading this and thinking I'm a crazy mentally ill person.

[@Dinckelburg]

I read that as 'boned' over so many things

[@CumulusBurn]

I completely agree. Every time I go fishing with buddies, I wish I could invite him with. Haha

[@HelloKitty15937]

15:12 why is this my favorite part? I love animal cameos 😂 Edit: 16:50 I lied this is the best part wtf brad 😂😂😂

[@nataliecobain8208]

Here in Germany foraging for mushrooms is a pretty common thing to do. I did it A LOT with my grandparents and my mum. One thing my grandfather first taught me is to never rip the mushrooms out of the ground but rather cut it off. By doing this, the roots stay intact and the mushroom will regrow.

[@nataliecobain8208]

@@andrewmace2140 Maybe. I do it to this day anyway.

[@hhanonymous]

Best outro outtakes yet. That stock footage insert when Brad flubs recalling which tale "Goldilocks" was from. 🤣🤣

[@Setsuraful]

Don't eat random mushrooms, make friends AND don't die. This is entirely too much pressure.

[@RBNobody]

That “congestion” comment 😂😂😭💀

[@katiehenry6125]

Did anyone else catch "carnivorous" forests at 14:52? He might of said "coniferous" but it sure sounded like the former. lol Oh Brad. I love you.

[@ginaford2771]

Is it weird that I only watch Bon Appetit just to watch It's alive? I mean let's be honest, it's a pretty great show.

[@NaturallySloan]

Nope! It's the only reason I watch.

[@SantaSmiles]

As a Latvian, it is so weird to see people go mushroom picking and not recognizing them, because for us it is like a national sport haha. Everybody goes to the woods since they are, like, little children and the best mushroom spots are usually kept as large secrets, even from family members lol. That mushroom at around 9:32 is called "Bērzlape" in Latvian. I dunno how it is called in English but it's Latin name is Russula claroflava. They come in all types of colours and here, in Latvia, the red one is more common. ALSO a BIG NOTE: you are supposed to use the knife to CUT the mushroom, not just wiggle and pull it out. You are not using the end part of it anyway, so leave the root part alone so it grows soo many more mushrooms out of there.

[@PrinsPrygel]

^^ This. Fellow mushroomer from Sweden :P

[@juanQuedo]

I am not even able to identify mushrooms in the shop but I have always heard that you should cut them to avoid hurting the mycelium...That's the very reason you can find mushroom knives with specific curved blades

[@AhNee]

Juan---People are very divided on that issue. I'm a "cut" person, so you're not damaging mycelium, but also so that you put less dirt in your basket/bag that you're gonna have to clean off later.

[@andrewmace2140]

some mushrooms you can cut but we prefer to pull this one as much of the delicious stem is underground. this does not harm the mycelium in any way. there have been multiple studies on this. no difference whether you cut or pull.

[@robspecht9550]

8:00, perhaps the greatest editing ever done.
