Forage and Cook Wild Mushrooms by Mountain Stream

[@roncozad4108]

Well bless your Grandma for teaching you so that one day she could also teach all of us through you. 🙏

[@jeremygold6331]

Great episode!

[@JohnCox1026]

I think hedgehogs are among my favorite mushrooms, easy to identify and delicious. I really love the memory of spending time in the woods with grandma. Between that and the cooking, this video totally reminded me of my favorite book as a child (probably of all time), "My Side of the Mountain". Thanks for another great video and wonderful memories, Aaron!

[@graphguy]

What a great story of grandma. Precious.

Drooling! We had a very short chanterelle season in Southern Oregon. But we found enough to try them for the first time (both whites and goldens) ! Sooo good! That pork and mushrooms looked amazing! Costco had chanterelles, so I foraged high and low there and brought some home. They weren’t nearly as good as the super fresh ones we found, but no complaints. I made your mushroom gravy from your video. Baked chicken, green beans and that gravy on rice - oh ya!

[@mo_philosophyw5414]

Hopefully, next year will be better. I'm in the valley as well 🤙

[@sueh9170]

wowee, You're still teaching me so much, that was really cool just weeks before Christmas, that's why we live here. Thank you!

[@jessicapatton7862]

I hope those chanterelles didn't upset your stomach but they did look delicious!

[@JohnOnEdge]

that meal looked delicious. kinda wild to find that shelter out there, too!

[@greenrumour]

Wow Aaron that was a wonderful episode. Hope you didn't get too much of a belly ache from the Golden Chanterelles we know they don't settle well for you.

Man the outdoor mushroom forage and cook thing is a great extra to mushroom wonderland! Great way to expand the channel.

[@markschaff9503]

Helvella are really tasty. I tried them for the first time this year. Definitely worth harvesting.

[@andrearutledge5349]

How lucky are we to live somewhere is so beautiful. The Olympic Peninsula is definitely my favorite part of Washington. You inspired me to walk my dog out by the Chanterelle patch and I found three. There were a lot more but they were really waterlogged!

Right on Aaron, we loved this type of survival video content, I'm a local raised on CK area and remember doing a lot of hunting on the OP, with my family also, picking mushrooms and having some on our harvests, nothing better, except the good lord above of course, have a blessed day man!

Well done video. Adding the cook in the forest a great touch. Don't see many folks using the round griddle often these days. Great way to reduce weight vs the cast iron skillets. ONLY thing missing was a cold beer or some wine. Have you taken Loki out yet for winter Truffles?Have a great day 🍄‍🟫🍄🍷

Gomphus clavatus can be found in Norway as well, but it's rare/threatened here, so you should only pick a few, if any. It doesn't grow where I live as far as I know, so I've never seen it.

[@thepushygardener]

I like watching you cook by the river and eat that pork steak! I'm wondering what the gomphus tastes like!

[@hyperionsolomon8718]

When you pass through Aberdeen or Hoquiam, you might consider hit up the Swanson's grocery. Sometimes I find very high quality cuts of meat like ribeye and t-bone for ~$6 a pound. New York steak, tri-tip, Chuck eye aka Poor Boy Steak (extremely good), for about six bucks a pound and that pork, sometimes I get it for $1.49 a pound. They also mark stuff half off, everyday. I like to get me some of those good cuts of meat to keep my mind and body functioning adequately while out in the woods. Just a lil local tip, bruddah. I enjoyed watching this video. I'm stuck inside today, so I feel like I got out and lived vicariously through you, today 😂

[@FatBaldTrucker]

[@DodieDickerson-Stidman]

At first I was a little bit hesitant about cooking them mushrooms in the woods but that is a perfect spot that's safe that way you can't burn the forest out

Yeah, and it was weird finding that shelter, I really started to feel like someone was there in the woods watching me, which was probably not far from the truth. Those ferns were super fresh. Cool place though, but I think I'm going to build a better one on a future video. I'd like to steer my videos more to the forage and survive route, or at least have a playlist of those kind of videos. They're the best to make I think, although they take a lot of effort

Do you use a gps device to not get lost and/or marking locations for future? Trying to find something practical to use outside of cell phone range

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@720MJW a handheld GPS device is the way! I know this particular area pretty well, but I do use Strava, an app on my phone that leaves a breadcrumb trail regardless of service range. So although I can't really inspect my surroundings, I can always follow my path back. It's a free app, I suggest getting it and carrying a power bank phone recharger in your backpack, or two.
