May Mushroom Identification and Foraging in Mushroom Wonderland

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

I enjoy listening to you talk and repeat things. I discover I’m retaining more and more ❤

[@karmareed3598]

Thank you for sharing!! Mushrooms are friends and sometimes food!!

[@anotherluckydad]

Another great adventure. Thanks for taking us along.

[@valleyofthemoon7113]

Thanks Aaron and Gunnar ! 😊

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Awesome show and info.

[@mymalinoisadventures2252]

Awesome video. Best mushroom show on KZbin. Thanks Aaron

[@chrisanderson1498]

Great video Aaron!!

[@shroomsandmetal]

Always a good time, thank you.

[@GladiolaGirl]

Thanks for covering edible mushrooms as well as inedible mushrooms. Love to see Gunnar. He is such a patience dog and a good mushroom hunter too! ❤️🍄🐶❤

[@trashyums721]

Currently in the process of convincing my friend to take the hour drive to Kitsap to see your presentation on june 13th. Heres hoping we can make it!

[@Violett854]

I love your videos that animated panther is one of my favorite mushrooms and we'll just leave it at that and that dried mushroom you shown I forgot the name it is great to use to make dye for color. Keep up the good work I would love to go foraging with you.

[@rainagamingmagex2195]

I enjoy the repetition the more I see a mushroom and then hearing you say it the more I get it in my head these names can be hard to learn but I actually can remember some of the scientific names just because you repeated a lot so I'm definitely a huge fan of what you do ❤ so keep doing what you're doing! And if you truly want to learn mushrooms you're going to have to hear it a lot to get it

Ello great vid, Was metal detecting a local park today here in Florida. Ive come across a few flushes of oyster on a palm trees, and ringless honeys

[@TheTubejunky]

Just binged on Alan Rockefeller videos now this. Let's go!

[@mushroomwonderland1]

He makes an appearance in several of my videos too!

[@TheTubejunky]

@@mushroomwonderland1 Yes more Alan! But I know he's hard to book and keep in place for too long. He's done so much and is so knowledgeable. Thank you for your work and helping this community.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@TheTubejunky He and I are going to be doing some stuff this fall so look forward to more foraging videos and stuff like that.

[@TheEverLovingOutdoors]

Awesome Finds!

[@georgemcduffey2622]

I'm glad I'm not the only one leaving potential substrates laying around the yard. Have a stump (I think was elm or hackberry) that grows Dryad's Saddle every now and again. Had a huge, dead, maple trunk fall and break a couple years back. I pulled a few logs it into a shady spot in the yard that turns into a temporary creek when it rains. In the late spring it typically produces a few flushes of Crown-Tipped Coral. I like to think of it as passive food income:)

[@mushroomwonderland1]

That's really cool, I love when I find mushrooms on my property! Makes me feel really connected to them for some reason 😀

[@georgemcduffey2622]

@@mushroomwonderland1 It's like having really cool neighbors...some that you consume. lol

My love of mycology had me scouting along the Columbia River near St. Helens Oregon. Of all the the finds I didn't expect to have (elk etc), I had my first encounter with a Wolverine. There are many validated observances and ODFW is aware and likely responsible for reintroduction of said Gulo sp. My success with fungi was quite low but interactions like I had aren't even quantifiable. Everyone should watch more Mushroom Wonderland and spend some time in nature 🥰 A WOLVERINE (I mean, C'mon)

[@goodun2974]

I saw a wolf in Yellowstone Park in Nov 1992. They had been extirpated from tbe Park long ago and were supposedly not to be found living there at the time, until a few years later when biologists reintroduced wolves to the area....

[@dontwatch1227]

We had a colony of lilacs fruit on Alder stumps about 4 years after cutting. First fungi I'd seen fruit there.

[@Nemrai]

I'm in Norway and haven't been able to find any morels yet, sadly. But hopefully one day. I've seen several false morels though, one of them today (they're of course left where they grow).

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Interesting, from what I understand the morel depicted in this video is actually described from Norway, 'norvegiensis,' I don't speak Norwegian although my family is mostly Norwegian. We eat a lot of leftsa and pault, do y'all eat that there? I love hearing reports from around the world. Thanks for the comment! Mush love 🍄

[@OffroadMushrooms]

You know - in Finland they eat false morels (Gyromitra esculenta) and even sell canned ones in stores. Mycologists from Russia say that the further north and colder the spring is, the less gyromitrin they contain, this depends on the climate.

[@justcurious..3580]

Year after year I work in the grapevines here in central California I actually found morels growing out here in the middle of The vineyards..

[@namenullvoid]

Lovely stuff. Can you do a video on how to understand the weather system and how it relates to mushroom growth? Often we go foraging but its too soon after raining or been too dry for too long and we miss it and theyre all dying or are too early. Will help us be more successful:)

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Yeah that's a good topic, I put that on the list! Videos like that are good to make when mushrooms get scarce in the middle of summer here.

[@yltzn2375]

Is it not strange that Amanita is growing in this season? I thought it was only a fall mushroom - I saw some myself in WA recently (the same Pantherinoides) and wondered if it's due to odd weather...

[@mushroomwonderland1]

No, these definitely grow in spring, So do Amanita aprica and Amanita 'gemmata.' pretty common. 🍄😁

[@rachelcarey486]

I noticed one of your mushroom grow kits was a turkey tail. We are also trying to grow turkey tail for a science project but it's taking forever. Do you have any advice for growing turkey tail?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

That's actually growing wild on a stump right there! I just got really lucky.

[@PapaOutdoors238]

Love your mushrooms find and your knowledge on them. I found a brown mushroom forming a fairy ring. One by itself and others in clumps. It has gills and when I looked on Google it said they were the common funnel cap. They are edible but not delicious. What are your thoughts. I'm sorry I don't know how to send a pic of them.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Yeah it's pretty tough to know, but some of those apps are getting good enough to at least point you in the right direction. Make sure to take multiple photos, clear close-ups. I also really suggest people upload pictures of their mushrooms onto Facebook Mushroom identification forums.

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

I’ve only ever found the black growing with cherry trees here in Michigan. Strangely, this year we’ve not seen any black.

[@bettinashope9637]

❤

[@momstheword11]

Can you grow morels at home? Thanks for any tips. Liked and subbed.

[@nicholaslane3989]

I'm in maine they're not common but I've found a handful this past week just got too really hard I find mine around dieing elms

[@JRC1588]

Is there a way for you to id some beautiful mushrooms I found yesterday?? Maybe if I make a video maybe you could watch it and id it for me ?? 🤷🏻 .. also from PNW Oregon .. but found some beautiful mushrooms I thought they might just be regular common feildcap but they are like gold with gills and white stems almost a tan and cream with brown and a dimples in the middle of some .. so i think they Agrocybe pediades aka feildcap but idk they just look different in a way ..

[@mushroomwonderland1]

You can join one of the many identification forums on Facebook if you're there, if not I can try to get to it when I do but I can't guarantee your mushrooms will still be there by the time I get a chance to ID them. I put my email in my description!

[@ZombieSnax42069]

We're just now getting into wild identification. Our question is , Are their any in North America- (South east ) that are poisonous or harmful to even touch ? We want to start looking at spores.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

No, it is safe to touch all mushrooms. Microscopy makes research so much more interesting.

[@justcurious..3580]

At first I actually thought it was a galerina..

[@FollowerOfClay]

Next to where you put the false funeral bells there were some small mushrooms all over the stem...were they Mollisia sp?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I'm not really sure.

[@brettshamblin3180]

In SW montana morels start late late april. With blacks. Those peak aviut may 10th to 15th are are usually done. The blondes here statt about may 10th and can be found till mid june
