How To Find Pine Mushrooms | Foraging For Matsutake In British Columbia, Canada

[@wendywesley9220]

Everyone up north near terrace BC covers the holes back up. It does matter if you want to see regrowth in a few days ... especially#1s. Today they are 15.00/lb Aug 22 2020

[@rayban4603]

I grew up in revelstoke and grew up picking pines and other woodland shrooms absolutely do you uned any circumstances not cover you hole it's disrespectful to nature and bad picking I agree with you 1000%

[@Lee_Isabella]

I'm growing up in terrace....My dad always takes me up on my birthday (August 22nd), he's been teaching me since I could talk, he's taught me how to cover them up and how to spot them, he's a really nice guy and he's been a great dad, I plan on teaching my kids this.

[@qxezwcs]

Matsutake, fiddlehead, etc. BC is truly foragers haven. I just wish we revere foraging the same way as it is revered in Japan and South Korea.

[@stephcollins8694]

When I was a kid living on Vancouver Island, I used to in the mountains to find them. Used to keep some for supper, and sell the best to be shipped out. I miss those days

[@adamtokarsyck6330]

That sandy soil is actually mostly ash from lava flows.... on all matsutake theres a bit of ash on the butt of the stem when you pick it...Also you will find saprophytic plants in the spring such as candy cane asparagus or candy stick (Allotrapa virgata) where the matsutake grow in the fall....When i find candy cane asparagus its almost a sure bet there will be motts in the area...And they seem to like to grow in the lime green moss instead of the darker green moss usually .... I also find them in all mixed conifer trees with no pines .....HAPPY HUNTING .......

[@whatthefungus]

Great advice, thank you

[@benslarsen4897]

Hahahaha I've been flagging candy cane spots. So far the wife and I have been striking out as many others have been yielding about 50lbs. But.... Were not locals, so it's a fresh start for us. I think our plotted spots would be great with more precipitation. Still hunting for damper regions.

[@Geetardave420]

Watching this after hitting a proper honey hole in perfect conditions, absolutely love living in BC.

[@offgridcurtisstone]

Right on Brian. I've been meaning to do a video with Scott for years.

[@whatthefungus]

It was an incredible experience. We had so much fun

[@81Kush]

in oregon on the coast in and neer the town of florence we only find them in the shorepine dune forests that are shorepines with a very thin layer of topsoil from the decomposed pine needless ect and mostly sandy soil under that. this apears to be a forest mostly of cedar and hemlock or am i mistaken the tree species in the video? thanks for the video!

[@maxlitwin2153]

Hello from Olympia, Washington, Pacific Northwest. I harvest mushrooms every fall for personal use but I have never gathered these before. Season’s pretty much done, but I’m looking forward to identifying and harvesting some of these next year!

[@billmills9991]

Very informative! Please though I do agree on certain logging practices, but I clearly looked to me that you were picking in 2nd growth. Not to justify clear cutting in any way, just to point out your very prize mushrooms look to be very plentiful in 2nd growth forests.

[@sharky10169]

So sad to see these beautiful forests are being destroyed not to mention the wildlife that live in the forest ❤️

[@dustyreid6904]

Thanks for the video - I do wish though that the videos would show foragers using baskets, mesh bags etc , we should be shedding the spores of the ones we’ve picked as we forage. Which is proper stewardship and promotes sustainability. Plastic bags, buckets w/ out holes drilled in the bottom etc are not allowing the sores to spread. It would help if we passed this knowledge as well 👍🏼

[@FawnandEvon]

Great to meet you, my husband and I are looking to retire by buying some land that’s good wild forest. Thank you for your tips, we will be keeping the trees on the land if we can find land that still has trees!

[@milkdiscofunk1447]

Pines regrow in the same spot. That 'sand' you're referring to is called podzol. Its required for pines and hosts mycelium. You should ALWAYS cover your holes young man. You're ruining next years crop when the frost comes

[@zackk7501]

That’s interesting, do you have a peer reviewed study I could read? Really interesting

[@pinkcichlid]

How hard is it to use a finger or two to move the moss and pine needles and cover those holes after he spends so much effort jiggling the shrooms out of the ground?

[@1952MLS]

I've had some morel mushroom spots devastated by logging ... Used to find "giant" morels in one location and after the thinned out the forest, nothing and still nothing ... 10yrs later ...

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Can you find these mushrooms in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec area? Thanks!

[@roomwithapointofview]

Mostly known as the pine mushroom, consumed by the Japanese people in a traditional way since the early times. Its unique perfume and flavor: spicy but not peppery. Its aphrodisiac reputation linked to its phallus morphology before maturity makes it a much sought after mushroom.

[@nancywu5250]

This is wonderful! thanks for sharing

[@jackjazzjacket]

Thanks for even more amazing content WTF! Can you suggest a solid resource for differentiated Pine mushroom from poisonous lookalikes?

[@WildMushroomHunter]

Best is to get a mushroom book from the Northwest if you're in my area. Read and look at photos then go exploring find and feel them. Smell them. You'll know one when you smell it.

[@Notatallcopyrightmusic]

Great pick dear

[@DanielBaikoff]

Great video, Brian

[@whatthefungus]

Thank you for watching!

[@mikerobinson6422]

Way to go Brian establishing the beauty.

[@davewygonowski984]

Thank you for sharing with us. I have been dreaming of your type of work, but am forced to work in the "world". I dread every morning when I have to get up and "commute"... Soon.

[@JohnMorawietz]

if you cut the root and put it back will the mushroom grow back again later?

[@gimmepowder]

Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of fungus. Like apples on a tree. As long as the mycelium underground is healthy mushrooms will pop up when the time and conditions are right.

[@mre.r.1647]

How much would you sell them for per lb?

[@G.A.gigger]

Logging in BC is being done at a totally unsustainable rate and i have seen so many mushroom patches totally destroyed . The mushroom industry will be gone when the old growth is gone . People have to make a stand and say lets look at this maybe from a perspective of getting more out of the lands than destroying them for a one time harvest . Actually i am now seeing them harvest 25 to 30 year old trees so the second growth is being wiped out too. It is a shame as a lot of the patches they log , they hardly get any logs out of it anyhow. A lot of it is left there to burn . Crazy. and these areas in the 100 years it take to really grow decent sized logs back could have produced 30 or 40 times the cash crop and the logs are still there growing in an intact ecosystem .

[@dtroystopper2]

Old growth is good, but 30-40 year growth is just as good.

[@TheRiverkayaker]

these small trees are sold offshore, you can see freighters on most of the british columbias' coastline. many of the british columbia's sawmills have been closing as the offshore sales gobble up whats left of the industry. unsustainable when the locals have no employment in their own back yard. corporate greed takes over again .. very sad

[@TheRiverkayaker]

ahh for what?firewood? annual growth rings on the newer is what 10 or so to the inch when old growth has been purported to have many many more annual growth rings, thus giving much more strength to the finished product. i have a rare piece of cypress from vancouver island which boasts over 1'000 annual growth rings to the inch. very strong.

[@jjheartscows]

Humans can be terrible species.

[@Geetardave420]

All my best patches have been logged. Found an amazing one today in a place that is protected and will never be logged. ❤

[@tatyanagallacher1939]

I used to go wild mushroom picking every fall with my father growing up in Ukraine. Have to really know your mushrooms, otherwise hole family can get poisoned. Want to learn more about wild eateble mushrooms here in Michigan. Thank you for your video! It's great!

[@pcmartbarikot1229]

i have found some wild mushrom but don't know that what type of mashroom is that can you help me.

[@justin21491]

Damn, hiking around in gum boots all day? thats hardcore. I would be so done after a day of picking in that footwear.

[@als1023]

Same thoughts, and a professional picker ,,

[@camentosvlog7495]

I always admire the people who make their living in nature and foraging mushroom is one of. Because they protect the forest and preserve the nature for the future generations

[@hikerx9366]

Hello Scott just found your channel do you ever pick Turkey tail mushrooms for medicinal use? Also have your had trouble with the wildlife while picking like bears or cougars? Looking forward to all your videos and just became a subscriber.

[@natejansen892]

If you cut the bottoms off you can see the pin holes that worms leave behind and you'll get rid of the Sandy Bottoms

[@100daysmic9]

Cover your holes!!!! It does make them regrow. My father was a mushroom grower. Don't eat too many of these. I bought some from a health food store. Enjoyed them and went and bought more. But this time I have horrible diarrhea only 4 hours after I ate them. They are the same as the first time and absolutely match all the identifying features. I just think you should not eat too many at once!!!

[@bolkiehippienotbolt7831]

I was taught to recover the holes after picking the mushroom.

[@woogiebush3118]

What time of year do pine mushrooms grow?

[@jadedocuocsongcanada9358]

Between October to December.

[@glasssandals]

Mushroom picking 101. Always recover the hole. Someone needs to tell this guy.

[@f1shk1LL3R]

[@williamstark9530]

Wow...I recolonize that spot...cool!

[@66bigbuds]

I would harvest the spores, grow the mycileum, and plant new spots

[@Broxty]

You can't.... Or else the Japanese would do so, they pay a fuck load for these mushrooms.

[@z4cat12]

what a super dog, Boarder collie/ jack Russel?

I know, what a great life that dog has!!

[@donaldbest7621]

Thanks! Great info.

[@68marcrm]

Very cool!

[@DanielBrowne-dz7we]

When he says “a lot of money” for pine shrooms, what might he mean??

[@ranbowgerek21nonya43]

He means they are worth a lot per pound

[@DanielBrowne-dz7we]

@@ranbowgerek21nonya43 You must have a PhD in Fricken Obvious Studies. Of course I meant When he says "a lot of money" how much money exactly?

[@WildMushroomHunter]

Sweet, thanks for the info!

[@ChaoItsNancy]

Thanks for such an informative video. I am also from British Columbia Canada and just got into mushroom foraging :) Just posted a vlog (I made many mistakes) -- give it a watch if you want to have a good laugh hahah!

Hello! I am an amateur forager and will be on the Island in the fall. I was wondering if you have tips on how to get the ins with sellers...thanks :)

[@1952MLS]

Are there poisonous mushrooms that can be mistaken for pine mushrooms???

[@benslarsen4897]

Once you get a pine you'll know there after. The poisonous ones probably taste better lol.

[@boscobosko79]

Amanita smithiana
