Foraging Mushrooms with a Beginner

[@jordanlyons8453]

Mushroom foraging is such a calming and rewarding hobby. Only been doing it for 3 months or so. Really fun.

[@octapulse2906]

I love this video. It makes me really miss living in the PNW. That is where I first developed the love of foraging 20 years ago. Now I'm living in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in NW Georgia, learning all about the myco environment here

I love that you two took the time to show someone new to foraging around! I will never forget my first time finding a chanterelle...its so funny how something so small can be such a big deal. I still get excited when foraging, and the more I learn, the more I enjoy it. I'm a new member of the KPMS (this month was my first meeting). I am eager to learn more and get to know the locals in my mushroom community. Keep the videos coming! I love this channel

[@crystalmoss7419]

Love your content-took me a while to get to this beginners video, probably should have started here but I’m several vids in on your channel and have learned so much! I appreciate you sharing what you know to help others learn. Btw, loved seeing your wife in this! Bring her along more often! :)

Shout out from eastern Skagit county! Great video, thank you so much for sharing this awesome information!!!

[@jdalkebmxgameplay9605]

I'm from Skagit as well.

[@erinobrien8408]

@@jdalkebmxgameplay9605 Love it here!!! How are you doing with your foraging in our beautiful county? This recent non-stop rain is really bringing out the fungi! In 20 min today I found & photographed 8 species on one of my trails I've created on my land. They're fascinating!!!

[@jdalkebmxgameplay9605]

@@erinobrien8408 I haven't been out much do to having a new baby at home. But I'm thinking after all this rain I'll probably go hunting this weekend. I'd like to find some chanterelles locally. I've found a lot of them out in granite falls area but have yet to find them around me. My yard is full of white coral mushrooms right now though and it looks really cool. 😂

[@erinobrien8408]

@@jdalkebmxgameplay9605 😁 I feel your parent pain! My boys are over 35 but I remember it well!! Don't worry, I was able to get some sleep without worrying about them as early as when they were 30!!!

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

thanks for sharing your knowledge and Penny’s enthusiasm on this journey. I think I enjoy looking at mushrooms almost as much as I like eating them! this is good beginner information.

[@joanne1dreams]

Fab video. Mushroom id and eckhart tolle lesson, a 2 for 1 deal, love it 😀💚💛💜

[@WitchOvTheeWood]

So cute, looks like you guys had a blast and found some good stuff!!

[@brianjanku4549]

I always wash my channelle under water with a soft brush. Any watter added just cooks out. I add butter only after all the watter has evaporated out while sautéing. For me it makes it a lot easier to clean. Especially with the semi subterranean white chantrelle.

[@deedeecrowder7879]

Thank you for the information! I’ve been wanting to go hunt chanterelle’s but wasn’t sure where they are found. Now I know! I love your video’s.

[@thomaswebb248]

In SC I find golden chanterelles in July in valleys, but only if there's been a good amount of rain. Maybe surprising, with the heat we have, but I've done it numerous times.

[@Spagooti710]

Great video! I would love to do this

[@jul.escobar]

I loved that Lil mush on a stick you just threw 😓 if I pick it up I set it back down gently so it can keep living ijs 😉

[@Spagooti710]

He’s helping spread the spores so there can be even more little shroomies later :)

[@brianjanku4549]

I would have set it down too.

[@honeyvitagliano3227]

[@wenrdawgoutdoors9609]

The deer mushroom gets its name from the shape of the spores. Under microscope the spores look like there are "antlers" growing off of them. Deer mushrooms are said to be a bit radishy in flavor.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Interesting, thank you 🙏🙌🍄🤙

[@wenrdawgoutdoors9609]

@@mushroomwonderland1 thank you for your videos! Love watching them!

[@trav9902]

Good idea for a video.

[@mymorelmaddness83]

I also get paid to teach and I enjoy it so much there’s nothing better than taking someone who has no idea and showing them the magic that exists out there

[@your_eulogy2688]

I found yellow foot chanterelles in spring. Is that the "winter chanterelle" you're talking about? I think they're supposed to grow in the winter. Micro climate like you were talking. Up around 2000ft snow still on the logging roads.

[@izqwiz1746]

Good job

[@CascadeBackcountry]

I have found chanterelles in the snow before.. NEVER later than December tho. What I'm desperate to find is a gosh danged chicken of the woods! It has escaped me for years

[@your_eulogy2688]

Honestly though...what's up with with chicken of the woods? Bright colors and everything and I can only find the dead ones. I've got a couple spots marked I'm going to check next year. I've been looking for only a couple years myself. Park on a logging road find or make a trail.

[@CascadeBackcountry]

@@your_eulogy2688 yeah I've also been looking for a couple years. My books say it's common which is super frustrating since I can't seem to find one haha

[@erinobrien8408]

@@erinobrien8408 maybe we can all find one together and share it! Haha

[@erinobrien8408]

@@CascadeBackcountry 😆🍄 It might be easier if I would search when it's NOT raining cats and dogs! 😁 Well at my place, it rains cougars and bears!! Say, can you recommend a good local mushroom Facebook group?

[@Dr.Grafenberg]

I found white chanterelles yesterday

[@lomigreen]

We call it “mushroom hunting “ But it’s really just opening to the forest.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

We say both! 🍄

[@BellaWoodsFarm]

People have been known to find chanterelles along the Oregon Coast nearly year-round. I haven’t, personally, but I have found them in mid August on the coast

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I would be absolutely dumbfounded if anybody found a chanterelle in the dead of winter or spring in the pnw. It would be very interesting to see.

[@placidojr.menaje4067]

Are there poison ivy in PNW? I saw plenty of plants that have 3 leaves.

[@leskrug9266]

Pennsylvania here, we have turkey tails, they mostly grow on black cherry tree logs.

[@frithar]

I think that first one was a bay polypore. I see lots in PA

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I actually went home and identified it that day. It is known as Picepes badius or the "black-footed polypore." But thank you. We have different Mycoflora here than in Pennsylvania, but a lot of them can look very similar. 👍🍄

[@AlyxGlide]

Fungicopia!

[@alexanderhult484]

Hello! Im not sure if Gomphidius subroseus is considered as poisonous, as you mention in your video

[@honeyvitagliano3227]

I know you don’t want to be a pest but you should always ask us watchers to respond, like and subscribe.. You do mention like and subscribe but I’ve yet to hear you ask for comments. It’s important bc the more interaction on your page, the better for the KZbin algorithm. I appreciate your foraging videos so I’d love to see your channel become successful bc I know how much work goes into these videos Mush Love ✌️🍄

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Thank you for your comment, I hate feeling like I'm pandering for comments or likes but it does really helps the algorithm and helps this channel reach more people. Appreciate your support.

[@honeyvitagliano3227]

@@mushroomwonderland1 Don't worry about that, we are learning from you and want you to be successful. Unfortunately, many watchers just don't know the correlation of comment, like, and subscribe ( interaction )to your success here on KZbin. You'll find that your followers will be more than happy to help you out!! You can ask at the end of your videos, bc if they've made it that far, their obviously invested in your content.

11:30 those don't have white pore surface and the caps are wavy, you sure on that ID?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I think that was a bad identification. 😐 Stereum hirsutum more likely.

[@jrevan]

What state are you in

[@koryabel6319]

Do you know of any toxic mushrooms that are not safe to touch?

[@frithar]

You can safely touch any mushroom, even the toxic ones. In the past couple years they seem to of found one over in either Australia or the far East that might pose a problem if you touch it. But here in America you're fine

[@koryabel6319]

Thanks for the reply! I have a lot to learn

The excitement and sadness that my main area is on YT 😂
