Fall Mushroom Foraging | YELLOWFOOT Chanterelles & Puffballs | Wild Mushrooms of Northern Ontario

Fall mushroom foraging for Yellowfoot Chanterelles, also known as winter mushroom, or Funnel Chanterelle. These fall mushrooms begin to appear in early autumn. Common puffballs, pear shaped puffballs and gem studded puffballs also appear around this time. We also came across some beautiful specimens of Bolete mushrooms, Witches Butter, Honey Mushrooms and Amanita Muscaria var. guessowii. Hiking around the Algoma region of northern Ontario, north of Sault Ste. Marie looking for wild mushrooms is a favourite pastime on and around the Wilderstead. Come along for a walk through the forest with us as we search for various wild edible mushrooms of northern Ontario.

Thanks, Dave! Make more mushroom foraging videos! This is top notch material!

[@Wilderstead]

Will do! Thanks Chris!

[@OakKnobFarm]

Gorgeous scenery and great knowledge. Thanks!

[@nevereverforever0010-uf9su]

northern ontario, so jealous! awesome finds..safe hunting friend

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

That's a boat load of different varieties. I wouldn't know where to begin. Nice walk in a beautiful area though.

[@Wilderstead]

Quite the adventure! There are so many shrooms up here. And so many new varieties to learn about. Cheers!

[@taylorle1206]

I would be so grateful to you if you would explain more about the mushrooms and fungi that you are showing

[@Wilderstead]

I will try to get out soon and make another video about more mushrooms.

[@northstarprepsteader]

Great tutorial Dave! And beautiful cinematography :)

[@Wilderstead]

Thanks Cathy!

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Cool video Dave! Loved seeing all the different mushrooms and fungi. Believe it or not, we'll get mushrooms here. They don't last long. Unfortunately we haven't identified any of them yet.

[@Wilderstead]

I would love to see a desert mushroom video Jim! That would be very cool!

[@heartforthehomestead6649]

wow so many cool fungi. Learning mushroom foraging has been on my bucket list for a long time but it makes me so nervous. A quote I heard once "Every mushroom is edible - just some are only edible once"

[@Wilderstead]

That quote is very true and well known among wild mushroom foragers!

Beautiful video and beautiful channel 👍I am registered 😀Ciao from Claudio Italy

[@Wilderstead]

Welcome to the Wilderstead!

[@PinetreeLine]

Awesome video brother! It is the season! Thanks

[@Wilderstead]

I am actually overwhelmed by the amount of yellowfoots right now LOL!

[@huntshackwildernessexperie6820]

Hello Dave. I wish I knew more about edible mushrooms in my area. All I really know is to leave them alone. You have a surprisingly good selection there. Good to see you out and about again . I'm looking forward to seeing you more. ATB. Paul

[@Wilderstead]

You would definitely have chanterelles in your area Paul. And Morels in the spring time. Those are two wild mushrooms that are very good learning mushrooms for beginner mushroom foragers. Cheers!

[@huntshackwildernessexperie6820]

I live in the " clay belt " up here. It was a huge lake or part of James Bay a few thousand years ago. I have more shells in this black muck we call soil than anything else. It's more Taiga than Boreal forest here. I will have to pay more attention to mushrooms in the future. Take Care. Paul

[@trollforge]

Thanks guys! I didn't know that Fly Agaric could be made edible, so eazily!

[@21Swayzee]

This was sweet, I'm noticing all these around our property good to know a little info on them..thanks!

[@CluelessHomesteaders]

Great video. I’ve never seen puff balls before...

[@Wilderstead]

These puffballs are a much smaller variety than most folks would be used to seeing. But the are quite abundant at this time of the year. Thanks for watching!

[@lilipooh10]

the orange mushroom are edible its lactaire mushroom, the name of the one you found is lactarius thyinos, when you have orange latex they are good edible

[@Wilderstead]

Lydz22 thank you! That gives me a starting point to research them further!

[@lilipooh10]

@@Wilderstead my pleasure..and thanks for your videos :)

[@HerEcolife]

Didn't know puffballs grew on trees too cool.. We got giant ones here.

[@AlmostHomestead]

Wow! great video. Your Fungi community is more diverse then what we have in our woods by the cabin. Was that Honey Mushrooms at around 1:26? Oyster at 4:27? I haven't seen any Yellow Foot around but we must have some. I'll have to look closer. Good info on the Puff Balls. I've never looked into them as I couldn't figure out why you would want to eat some spore filled nasty. Haha! I get it now so thanks for that lesson. Really enjoyed this Dave (3 times). What a great day of foraging. Beautiful scenery and mushroom footage.

[@Wilderstead]

Yes, those are honeys at 1:26. I don't personally harvest them, although they are indeed edible. They can react with alcohol in a not so good way. Pretty much any wild mushroom that can cause a reaction, I just tend to avoid altogether. At 4:27 it's some sort of shelf mushroom, but not oysters. It resembled a washed out chicken of the woods mushroom. Quite firm. Thanks man, this was a fun one to film and edit!

[@AlmostHomestead]

@@Wilderstead I've never tried Honey mushrooms. Interesting about the alcohol thang.

[@Valentina-tm5wi]

Thanks!!:)

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Very enjoyable buddy! I would love to join a club to learn more about them. Really educational vid:))

[@Wilderstead]

Thanks man! I love mushroom hunting!

[@TheMadvillan]

8:43 min in it looks like you filmed a chaga mushroom and didnt mention it! lol

[@Wilderstead]

There’s probably a lot of chaga hidden in this video. It’s quite abundant here

[@chrisphafner3332]

Thanks for some great footage. Is it possible that you could overlay the mushroom names (or audio edit) on which you zoom? Alternatively at listing the names in the notes would help.

[@Wilderstead]

Next year I will try to do a little more in depth identification video. The intent with this one was just showing a few edibles that are very easy to identify, and also mixing in the plethora of fungus that grows in the fall. Thanks for watching Chris!

[@xthe_moonx]

are those mushrooms on the downed birch trees only edible after the first frost of the year but before the 2nd frost?

[@Wilderstead]

They’ll be dead and goo after a frost….

[@Valentina-tm5wi]

Northern Ontario? I was in Halliburton this weekend and there were so many varieties (mostly poisonous though)

[@Wilderstead]

Yes, north of Sault Ste. Marie.

[@jamesmays6826]

All mushrooms in the US can be handled and even taste tested as long as it's all spitting out

[@Wilderstead]

Yup.

[@user-pb6nm6yb6e]

The same mushrooms we have in northeastern Europe

[@Wilderstead]

Well that's neat! Thanks for watching!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Was this on your property ? or Crown land ? or ?

[@Wilderstead]

This is a large tract of crownland, part of which abuts our property here.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Nothing like having the Queen as a neighbor : ]

[@soggynapkin3093]

Poor information about the Amanita. Best just to let people know just to leave it alone.

[@Wilderstead]

People with mycophobia have an intense, irrational fear of mushrooms that causes anxiety and sometimes even panic attacks. Usually, the fear is proportionally greater than any danger or threat posed by the mushrooms.

[@heinzhubbuch9409]

YOU SHOW LOTS OF MUSHROOMS AND DONT SAY NOTHING ABOUT THEM?????

[@Wilderstead]

I focused on the edible mushrooms in this video. There are thousands of varieties of mushrooms out there. It’s hard to know about all of them...
