One Mushroom & One Plant You Can Find Right Now!

[@Emile-philia]

Gathered a whole bunch of these mushrooms today and stir-fried them for dinner. Totally exquisite!

[@AdventuresInWetShaving]

Great video! This weekend I will try to find these in the woods near me, thanks. 👍🙂👍

[@LearnYourLand]

Hope you find some!

[@derektalkington2328]

A great channel and another great video on some interesting flora in our neck of the woods. I would love to hear your perspective on the hygrophorus milk cap, and the tree volvariella. Two of my new favorites for this year.

[@seangrey3505]

Found my first few today and I came to your channel to start my study points

[@alexgranacki7622]

You have an awsome channel. I really like your older content about the medicinal qualities of plants and mushrooms. I haven't had a chance to watch them all, but was wondering if you have/would do a veido about psilocybin/psilocin containing mushrooms and the various species. It would be great to learn about that from your perspective.

[@450lisac]

No need for apologies Adam. Thanks for your reply. Awesome videos by the way. I for one am very thankful that there is someone out there willing to put in the time to produce these informative videos so that beginners like me can learn how to identify these species. You are great.

[@tessahdcampbell2233]

You are so good at rattling off fascinating facts and Latin names that I think we need to see bloopers video! ;-)

[@LearnYourLand]

Ha! I have plenty of them. Maybe I'll post a few some day. ;)

[@TheWildYam]

Awesome. I'll have to look for them. Here in Ontario, Canada I just found another parasitic non-photosynthesizing plant, the bear corn (Conopholis americana). Parasitic plants are so neat!

[@LearnYourLand]

Nice! Conopholis americana is a great plant too. I filmed a video on it last year.

[@charronfamilyconnect]

I love the flavor of these mushrooms. I like them even better than chanterelles! I was looking for some today, but couldnt not find any. This is around the time when i normally find hedgehogs!

[@frankhummel753]

Great vid!! Awesome info for a new species to hunt. Thank you!!

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, Frank!

[@ubamilitary]

Nice video. I'm with you in the belief that we don't fully understand these plants. Pretty cool stuff!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks!

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk9055]

Another great inform video thanks.

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome, and thanks for watching!

[@hollyuva6233]

I saw a bunch of these in Norton and Raynham Massachusetts. I left them thinking there was something wrong with the ghost pipe… in the area. Pine is heavy in the area though.

[@imaeatit4953]

Nice video, Adam! I just uploaded my first video about pinesap, indian pipe, and albino plants! I tried to make it pretty interesting. I don't know how you can talk so fluently in your vids, I get pretty nervous and mix up my words a lot lol. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the hedgehogs! I'll make sure to keep an eye out for em. :)

[@andrakisler5532]

Adam, I love these videos, and appreciate what I have learned from them! I found a handful of hedgehog mushrooms today but one of them has shorter "spines" than the others. I am wondering if it really is a hedgehog. All of the other criteria are met; found in piney forest, pinkish-tan irregular cap, thick stalk. I am doing a spore print now, and expect white spores. Any thoughts?

[@mattheefisher2104]

That's a great video.I found them last week, and for the life of me I couldn't remember what that where called.Indian pipes.Thanks for your insight.

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome!

[@RainMakersGroup]

How did you learn about all this stuff. Could you recommend books, schooling, mentors etc. I so enjoy your videos.

[@cookwithme414]

I love your channel

[@wooddragonable]

what a beauty of a shroom ~ thanks Adam. 👍😀🍄

[@LearnYourLand]

You're welcome!

[@susanfarr7202]

Only a day or two after this video, I saw my first Monotropa hypopitys!

[@ildiko1vt]

Love those hedgehog mushrooms!!

[@LearnYourLand]

I had a feeling you did!

[@ildiko1vt]

yes indeed! :) why don't you visit us in VT Adam? Would love to have you lead us on a walk. Let me know.

[@kleineroteHex]

Thanks to you I think I found some turkey tail 2 weeks ago.

[@LearnYourLand]

Nice! They just started appearing here in Pennsylvania.

[@kleineroteHex]

Learn Your Land they grew inside a hollow tree trunk at a local park, and my granddaughter looks into every hole and asks "what's that?" when she finds something 😊

[@KendrickMan]

Interesting. Just found some Pseudohynum Gelatinosum last week, cool to see one that is neither pseudo, nor gelatinosum ;)

[@LeonardGoodkin]

What do you do with the yellow pine-sap?

[@LearnYourLand]

Make videos about it. :D

[@LeonardGoodkin]

Ha! So they are not edible then. Keep up the good work. I hope to find workshops like yours in upstate New York.

[@all4180]

lol

[@kathyanne3587]

Thank you for the information. I always find it useful. I live in Atlantic Canada, and have noticed this year that i cannot find hardly any mushrooms. Last year at this time they were plentiful. Can you maybe give me some reasons why this has happened, and will they come back next year.

[@LearnYourLand]

Hey Kathy, some years are better than others. Usually, temperature and moisture play key roles in determining whether or not mushrooms will appear. For example, two years ago Pennsylvania had lots of Black Trumpet mushrooms (because of a rainy summer). Last year, we hardly saw any Black Trumpets (because of a drier summer). This year, we're seeing a good bit... though less than what we saw two years ago. Fungi are resilient. If you don't see a particular species in abundance this year, check next year. If you don't see any of that species then, I'm sure you'll see lots the following year. Also, plenty of other fungi can be found. Keep looking at every substrate imaginable and I can almost guarantee you baskets full of mushrooms!

[@dannygoforth4217]

I have a question ... Is it better to hunt on higher or lower ground ?

[@supernaturalflavor]

What month was this posted?

[@aasd72]

Hi Adam, Thank you very much for the info you provide. Could you describe why and how Ethanol extract of some mushrooms come in play rather than their own original body structure, and most importaantly if there is any indication that can let us know if we need to get the extract to do better, if there is any indication and studies that can tell us if some mushrooms may be toxic if we get the extract from them since you mentioned eating them with alcohol may be dangerous in some cases. Thanks A MILION :D.

[@mattantonacci5254]

Ive searched and searched....any tips? What areas usually seem to be the best habitat?

[@fattymcbastard6536]

Look around spruce and pine in coniferous forests, or oak in more deciduous areas.

[@profmtrfkrz6917]

is the hedgehog mushroom available in tropical countries or no?

[@eugenecountryman8169]

Is yellow birds nest able to be made into a tincture and use medicinally? I can find barely anything about it!

[@willsessions2474]

I never see you slapping at mosquitoes. What do you use?

[@LearnYourLand]

The slapping is all off camera. Interestingly I don't use any repellents, though for some reason they leave me alone while filming. Well behaved mosquitoes in PA I suppose!

[@willsessions2474]

Haha. I dare you to try that in Wisconsin right now my friend. Lol. Just wanted to say thanks for this particular video. It came across my KZbin homepage almost at the exact same time my roommate had came in from the woods with a basket full of Indian Pipe, very excited. As she was online trying to figure out what they were, I kicked back on my laptop, opened up KZbin and there's your video! Almost as if it was meant for that moment. very cool brother. She had never heard of you so I turned her on to your channel. We watched the video again and went foraging today. Interestingly, my research said that Indian Pipe are rare but the woods next to our house is loaded with them. For the record, I use a lemon balm and citronella essential oil blend but it doesn't seem to be having an effect on them this year. And hey Adam, I've learned a great deal from your videos. Just want to say thank you for your passion and for what you do. If you ever make it out to Wisconsin, give me a shout. The forests are teeming right now. Peace in your heart brother. Namaste.

[@pennyhogg1582]

Does hedgehog mushroom grow on tulip poplar stumps

[@450lisac]

What color is a Hedgehogs' spore print? Or does it leave one?

[@LearnYourLand]

Yes it does. Apologies for not addressing it. Its spore print is white.

[@dtroystopper2]

Does that mean that any mushroom that has teeth like that is edible? I found some growing in some mulch out in the front yard, but they were brown and wrinkly on top.

[@LearnYourLand]

Not all toothed fungi are edible, though some of them are.

[@dtroystopper2]

Learn Your Land are there any toxic ones? I see that some are to tough, but what about poisonous?

[@MrFurious176]

Is the pinesap plant poisonous?

[@jasonrush6701]

This plant helps with sore eyes

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Are there any poisonous look alikes to Hedgehogs. Like are there any poisonous mushrooms that have teeth/spine on the underside of the cap? Too bad you hardly touched on the hedgehog mushroom in this video such as what habits you find them in. What time of year to find them etc...

[@fattymcbastard6536]

There are no poisonous toothed fungi, which makes hedgehogs one of the safest mushrooms for beginner mushroom hunters. Even amongst the toothed mushrooms, the hedgehogs are rather unmistakable.
