Foraging for Wild MUSHROOMS (Catch and Sushi Ep.3)

A day out in the coastal woods of Northern California with Chensi (Fishing Chef), Kevin +Martijn(Catch and Cook California). We went out hunting for mushrooms since there has been good rain the past couple weeks. Although the mushrooms were not yet plentiful, we got a nice haul of angel wings and honey mushrooms.

Great vid Taku! We had a great time showing you around our neck of the woods! We look forward to our future adventures! Just saying, Martijn and I will never go vegan (born hunter-gatherers), but the mushrooms you made would be one heck of a meat substitute if we had to! Great cooking dude... and stoked to chill with you and Chensi... how about the quail he grilled on the coals! Good food, good friends, good fungi, good fun! Keep the old ways alive!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Yeah I could never be vegan either. You said it man, good times! looking forward to more!

[@peanut632]

But meat is murder

[@porkchopspapi5757]

I miss mushroom hunting so much.

[@wilsonlubeck5792]

Heyo Taku. I love your channel and really appreciate the content you upload. I continually learn from you about ocean foraging, and have been waiting for you to do a mushroom video because I love to make mushroom nigiri! As a mushroom person I wanted to share a couple of things with you. A much more comprehensive identification guide for your area (and all of northern california coast) is Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast by Christian Schwarz. David arora is incredibly knowledgable (much more than I) and All That the Rain Promises is good as a field guide to take with you to the forest, but as far as comprehensive ID books for your area, Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast is hard to beat. Angel wing mushroom (Pleurocybella porrigens) is not an oyster mushroom. Oysters are in the genus Pleurotus, whereas angel wings are Pleurocybella. They do not share the same family either, oysters being Pleurotaceae and angels being Marasmiaceae. There is some interesting information on Pleurocybella poisonings in Japan that might interest you. They have caused a few deaths but all who died were already suffering from serious kidney issues. Its a good idea to really cook down the Honey mushrooms. They can cause a hefty case of gastrointestinal stress if not well cooked, and some people get an upset stomach from them regardless of cook time. Thank you for the inspiration!

Its funny. I see the beer and think to myself. what an awesome way to spend a day. Hanging out drinkin a few and findin some good eats while outdoors. cheers man.

And that was one of the best vegan food i ever had! i only get to eat one piece and then there is only piece left on the plate...Lol wish there was a bit more!! digging the music the vibe so chill and cool ~ content gets better and better!

[@BellaVillain]

I absolutely love that you guys come together and create dishes then share them. Great video as usual!

[@huimincai9458]

All I can say is that u deserve more subs

I hate Mushrooms but, I love your videos!

[@tammibrinkegami4062]

What a surprising shout out to another great channel Rice Farming TV, great to see the sushi rice gets some love too (not that those mushrooms didn't taste awesome I bet). Love the channel and your plate presentation always rocks.

[@marilynalvarez9951]

QUESTION: Which one of the guys was wearing the blue nail polish? (love mushrooms too) :)

Man, being in school sucks lol. I wanna be out there doing this stuff! Nice vids man, keep it up bro!

This was awesome I’d love some vegan dishes here and there

[@flexrlifestyle8122]

オイスターマッシュルームってヒラタケの仲間かな？ ヒラタケは美味いよね。 寿司を作りたいのはわかるけど、砂糖と醤油でヒラタケを煮て、それを入れて炊き込みご飯にするとすごい美味いよ。

[@5argetech56]

If it were me, I would only pick Deathcaps and Webcaps... :( Which means, I ain't foraging for no mushrooms..... You folks know what you are doing... Peace!

[@zxde0x150]

Bein stingy with the sushi lol

[@maxsocalangler]

Nice vid as usual bro, I love mushrooms any way except raw lol!keep up the good work and awesome collaborations!!!

[@schihl76]

that would be wailin' with some ponzu! love the channel hiro! cheers from Philadelphia PA!

[@bushisback112]

I live on the west coast of British Columbia and i thought angel wings were different from oyster mushrooms? They are more white, and a lot thinner than oyster mushrooms plus they have no stem. Apparently they aren’t safe to eat if you have kidney problems and one year about 400 people with effected kidneys died in Japan after eating angel wing mushrooms. It might not be bad to eat but I personally don’t want to try

[@trueboogaloo3412]

Knife is life ..after binging a few videos I noticed you have a lot of different pocket knives. Can you recommend an affordable one for both coastal and plant foraging?

[@misterightnow]

Knife is life - amy If i win, im giving the knife to my girlfriend who'a bday it just was. I turned her onto your channel!

[@terryrhuebottom]

I'm by far no expert on mushrooms. I have found information about angel wings that is a bit conflicting. It was noted in many books as safe to eat for years. However, It was taken out due to two outbreaks In Japan of Illness and some deaths. It should be noted that the average age of these deaths was 70 years and most patients had a history of Liver or Kidney problems. The general consensus about them being safe to eat seems to lean toward them being safe but most to all guides and publications lean the other way. Best case scenario if you are concerned at all that it may be dangerous don't eat them.

[@alexcarter8807]

I've heard that as a rule, there are no poisonous bracket-type fungi. Some might taste bad, but not dangerous.

[@sundstrom193]

What book do you personally recommend for mushroom hunting? I’m a beginner who only knows one or two types of mushroom but would love to go hunting for some when the snow melts. I need a good field guide to tell me for certain what mushrooms are which

[@fingernoms2882]

i litteraly can not stop binge watching your vids ever since i found out about this whole "foraging" thing :)

[@edp919]

Would love to see you start the channel with a teaser of the food you finished, then followed by starting the hunt of the mushroom, then end it with what mushrooms you got and then Kevin talking about cautious foraging mushroom, then end with the final eating of sushi n mushroom.

[@diegoesoutdoors9899]

Where in California are you adventuring??

[@88GGG88]

What is your proportion for sushi rice vinegar between sugar, salt and vinegar?

[@opheliabells]

nice finds it would have been nice for you to find some matsutakes too in which i'm not sure about California but in Washington they are still out.

[@alexcarter8807]

Oh those angel wings are great, they like to grow on dead elm logs and after a rain, it was so nice to pick 'em off a dead log and fry 'em up.

[@sfierro518]

Wait he went all the way to the tides just to make the sushi?? Why didn't he just go home or something😂 nonetheless great vid man.

[@saifjawaad]

love the foraging videos. keep it up :)

[@Spencer_Plant_Projects]

angel wing mushroom is considered poisonous after a mass poisoning event in Japan. That said it was considered edible up until the 2000s and in many NA guides.

[@FlyingAce015]

Stay away from Wikipedia and similar sources... 1 or 2 events or outbreaks won't make something change definition, it just encourages further studies. If I recall the event you speak of, it was likely multiple factors and like many other edible foods, it just might not be suitable for people with preexisting conditions, such as organ instabilities. Some people die from eating nuts while others love them. We are all different and shouldn't jump to conclusions. Take on info with a pinch of skepticism.

[@bushisback112]

I thought angel wing mushrooms had no stem.. I think those are just a variant of oyster mushrooms lol angel wing is different

[@constantcomment1954]

Taku, beautiful as always. Just starting to try to make sushi. If you had to buy the shrooms (like I would have to) what varieties would you suggest? Thanks, Connie

[@OutdoorChefLife]

try king trumpet mushrooms if you want to try something similar. you can also buy oyster mushrooms

[@constantcomment1954]

@@OutdoorChefLife Great! Thanks so much for the reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisb.6616]

Hi Taku! I know I could learn this from a different video, but I'd like to learn the way you do it. Could you show us how you make your Sushi Vinegar in a future video?

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Sure!

Nice change up of videos. I know it's 100% safe collecting the right mushrooms but still freaks me out a little eating them. Another awesome video!

Impressive, the presentation was outstanding as usual. What is truffle salt? I know where truffles come from, and I know where salt comes from, but am having a hard time connecting the two. What kind of taste do you get from it? Keep up the variety in your episodes, you’re doing a great job! Thanks for sharing, Taku!
