Foraging mushrooms ; charcoal burner - Russula identification

[@biff5856]

The first wild mushroom I ate. They were growing under pecan and oak trees but in my backyard. Delicious. I was very cautious about i.d.. I purchased several books first. This is a very good identification video. I stick with shrooms that are easy to i. d. The Charcoal, Oyster, Puff Ball, the gelatinous Jews Ear, and Parasol. Wild shrooms are so much better tasting that the common store bought variety. Worth getting to know. Please include in your info whether or not the gills are attached or free of the stem. Please make more videos. P.S. I forgot to include the Bay Bolete, real easy i.d. No gills, but pores (spongy looking) they stain blue when pressed. Yum. I lived in the Missouri Ozarks.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have a mushroom identification playlist that has lots of these type of videos and more coming all the time (next one tomorrow!)

@@SelfSufficientHub I access this from my phone. ( no computer) I'm not particularly good at managing this device. It has a mind of it's own, or rather YT does. I'll try to view them.

I lived on a farm in Missouri where these grew in the backyard under oak and black walnut trees. They are the best eating.

Does it explode when you throw it against a tree?

Thanks Charlotte 👍

I hear you can actually eat the spicy ones. People will boil it or simmer in hot water and pour the water out. This is also done with some amanita species the psycho active ones when used as food. I don't recommend doing this though unless you're brave or know what you are doing.

Roo-sul-a....like Rufus, Roo-fus....I have exactly the same problem with a lot of those names!

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Thanks! Yea I have done most of my learning through text so it’s hard to know some of the pronunciations

[@thepyjamagardeners5742]

@@SelfSufficientHub its not really all that important. In the horticultural world people are always messing it up. So most 'accents' have been dropped. We're probably all better off just saying it as it looks, like Russell....everyone knows what it means.
