Foraging and Cooking Ganoderma oregonense with Paul Stamets

[@RileyNA]

Paul, you are one of my favorite humans and one of Earth's finest citizens. Thank you!

[@jasonbrooks4996]

Mine too! Paul is such a decent human being!

[@BubblewrapHighway]

@Ajgleskorv I see this occasionally but I never see any examples. Just because he found a way to make a living doing what he loves doesn't make him a charlatan.

[@plewes6709]

@Tim Billings ignore this person , it is just a troll:)

[@nodescriptionavailable3842]

We have also come to like Paul on my planet, we watch KZbin here, our other favorites are old epic meal time with muscles glasses and Jack Daniels

[@sams5803]

I second that!

[@RTFosmark]

Evidence that Paul is in fact a mycovampire. "If this was not blood soaked...*OR EVEN IF IT WAS*... this is the perfect size to cook." Just joshing, Paul, thank you for all you've given to this community.

[@adamtichy8008]

someone should write a fanfiction about stamets

[@adamtichy8008]

@@okin8949 I didn't, I'm not really into these things, but I know that there is a character named paul stamets somewhere in startrek

Thank you for your existence Paul.

He’s a great guy but stop worshipping him

[@nachoaz6294]

Glad he started making these longer videos. Keep them coming!!

[@StarTexaspets]

Used to make fried puffball mushroom "cheese sticks" in my restauraunt in Colorado with marinara and parmesan, etc. Super tasty.

[@iliyatodorov4699]

That’s wounderful

[@JerryHatrickShorts]

That victory chuckle at the end was great

Ganoderma brewed w/ coffee is amazing..just cold soak it overnight, strain, add your coffee additives/sugar/milk and enjoy..."power coffee"

[@matkin9812]

Lets go Paul! 🍄👃🍄

[@appalachiafungorum]

I used fresh sliced Ganoderma tsugae this spring on my grandson's fresh cut when he tripped and cut his brow on a rock. 1st used yarrow, then cleaned and applied G. tsugae. Slices remyceliate in paper bag in fridge providing fresh mycelium bandages for days. Decreases tissue scarring.

[@joshualarson505]

It's Hen of the woods season now!!!! WOooooo!

I love this woman’s haircut ! So flattering on her! The mushroom content is pretty spectacular 😁

[@Flatfishfever96]

Paul you have a very nice friend and that is truly a wonderful thing to experience food in foraging. and that I totally enjoyed thank you Laura and always wonderful thought and information

[@AlmostHomestead]

Wow this is great! I just harvested some Ganoderma oregonense and dried it for tea. I tried a small piece of the white flesh raw and it was very tasty. Can't wait to cook some up. Thank you!

[@pipilchocolate8654]

Lucky!

[@elmerovero7528]

Paul was just speaking the other day about eating raw mushrooms, and how there are toxins that break down when you cook them. Better safe than sorry

[@wizardss3684]

@@elmerovero7528 what video was this?

[@wizardss3684]

I found some ganoderma sessile in my backyard that had the fleshy white outer ring, might try some. Did you ever get to try yours?

[@mushroomsofnewengland5946]

Good morning Paul, We are always very excited when you release a new video, thanks for all the great info! God bless.

[@JenSpice]

I love eating this one. I grind up the harder parts and mix with salt to cook all my food with it. Thank you for all the additional information about one of my favorites abundant here on Vancouver Island.

[@joshuaelliott-co6ht]

Wow so much I did not know about these ! Thanks again Paul.

Thanks Paul, you are hugely appreciated for the knowledge you pass on so freely. If there were more people like you we wouldn't have such an ignorant world. I've walked past mushrooms all my life without a thought, now I can't stop photographing and describing them..........and growing them 😳🍄🍄🍄

[@maryannielittle7960]

The last part at the very end was hilarious

[@FireWoodOfficial]

Christopher Hobbs has some great info on the medicinal use of this species as well. I recommend tea using 3.5 g : 12 oz water. Let it steep for 1 hr+. Decant and enjoy.

[@cs-yn9vb]

Paul using the spyderco knife. Excellent choice :)

[@IsMirGal]

I like how she grunted at him as a greeting' so im not alone! :)

[@johnlord8337]

The entire mushroom species are so understood, misunderstood, and mis-under-studied. Mushrooms have the highest quallities of vitamins, amino acids, nutrients, and health/healing/fitness/immunity factors. In this, Paul Stamets (my WA state) afficianado earns my highest praise (other than hallucenogenics) regarding planetary population and medicinal opportunities.

[@Tonyisgaming]

Very true, bugs too! After all, it is the source of Cordyceps!

[@izzyh.3581]

So I had a question arise during this video and you pretty much answered it but if like to ask anyway. Can a person eat only mushrooms and sustain a healthy lifestyle?

[@johnlord8337]

@@izzyh.3581 There is an easy answer (and no its not a snotty response) - can you live off pure vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes ? No. There is no pill a day panacea. Same for mushrooms - wild pigs will eat up shrooms like dessert, but they will eat protein acorns, berries, root for roots, shovel out a grain field of just sown grain, and have snake for dinner. Even Asians with tofu, wheat ramen noodles, fish sauce/fish meat, miso soy soup, soy sauces, onions and a few small veggies, only have shrooms for added vitamin/minerals in the mix.

[@PabloTheOne]

I like the fact that Paul was in Joe Rogan podcast and talked about Lion's mane

[@Fallingxleaves]

I always look forward to your videos, Paul! Mush love ❤️ 🍄

[@ourfamilyoutdoors7331]

Cool video. I found some slippery jacks today

[@AtlasReburdened]

Cool stuff, thanks Paul. Btw, you're looking more trim and healthy every time I catch one of these videos.

Ahhh you mentioned Puffball mushrooms. Of all the stuff that grows out here in MN, those are my personal favorites. Even above morels.

[@EthanBonardel]

Thanks Paul and guest! Great information.

Omg... Paul uses the same knife as me... not relevant at all for normal people but for knife guys, this puts him even higher in our book ;)

Paul, I eat the tender bits of Ganoderma tsugae. It's a bit bitter at times, but brown it a bit and it's very tasty. I hope to try oregonense one day, if I can ever make it out that way! As always, thanks for putting up these videos. It's always a pleasure to see what you're getting into and to hear about the species that are on your mind (or plate!). Stay safe and well!

[@earth_heart_aether]

Nice spyderCo knife Paul! And great info I had no idea some of these were edible. I've always loved the tea they make.

[@TheChadPad]

I have some Turkey Tail growing by my house! I'm gonna pick it when it gets ripe and make some tea. I tried it last season, and it was divine with just a bit of honey

[@MessengerRising]

It almost cuts like bread, fascinating to watch. I found a Prince mushroom over here in the UK a couple of weeks back, soaked it in water, no bugs, ate that bad boy over the next two days. Wild mushrooms seem to be richer in texture and flavour. Love these cooking vids Paul 👍🏻

[@nancynahnigoh3550]

I have on my rotten coconut tree after we chopped down , at first I doubted it is a reisi mushroom then I search through KZbin I found look like a similarity now I very sure to harvest it and dry for later use , thank you for the tips

[@sosalish441]

Are there lookalikes to beware of? Is it the softness that makes this edible while other shelf mushrooms are not?

[@FindInNature]

What was the tree it was growing on? Sometimes I find Ganoderma resinaceum that has a very similar looking. I have eaten small amounts of its white outer part, it tastes very mushroomy. Can we cook and eat Ganoderma resinaceum just like you did with Ganoderma oregonensis ?

[@elmerovero7528]

Ganoderma in general are safe to eat.

[@chadmarino2741]

Reishi grows exclusively on dead or dying Hemlock trees

[@wingnutbert9685]

Old video but I'll ask anyway: I see people usually dry, chop, steep these. Or boil/pressure cook, macerate and dry them. Has any real testing been done to determine if heat actually kills the touted benefits of these given so many other plant foods and their nutrients get pretty decimated from heat. Also, would not soaking in alcohol for tinctures not also kill off the good stuff? Thanks! Hope you or some other expert can clarify this for me or point me to a source of good quality info. On my last kick at the can before hitting the exit door.

[@simakumari2054]

This is my wish to someday I will come to your contact to learn about mushroom. Respect from India

[@elfinnvanbiezen]

A Dutch friend of me makes mycelium coffins. So your nutrients don’t go to waste and all goes back to nature! What do you think about this concept?

[@chezmoi42]

That is a great idea. A mushroom grower friend of mine here in France has patented a 'myco-materiau' made of mycelium and straw, like a mushroom particle board - non-toxic, biodegradable, and fire resistant. She got the idea after seeing how her spent bales resisted the weather when left outside the cave. www.ouest-france.fr/pays-de-la-loire/saumur-49400/saumur-le-myco-materiau-veut-creer-des-emplois-ddcf9e59-401e-340c-af34-9f8261f11b5b A lot of people around the world are experimenting with similar ideas, using various mushroom species and substrates.

Wow, what great people. I got the reference, & thank you. I do everything from my phone, so forgive my navigational unawareness. Lol I'll have to return & relisten to the some of the terms later, but how uniquely beneficial. I'm switching gears for the evening,,, you understand :) Had to view before I closed down. Take care! & I'll try not to let my intelligence turn into a mushroom like Toad from Mario Bros in my endeavors :P

[@Southernburrito]

It's taken me a bit to round back due to other focuses lately. I absorbed most of that better this evening or morning, & I look forward to viewing the new posts. There's just something eye opening special about mycological regenerative facilitations. I believe I heard Ganoderma correctly.? The definition that I'll look deeper for is what I heard as Anadiversougi (spelling?). I'll check the reference given. Thanks a lot!
