Vicariously living through your explorations. Thank you for these videos. 😌

Great video, I cant seem to find Morels in Yorkshire but we came across a fairy ring of St George's mushrooms at the week end.

I totally agree, a good walk in the woods is great therapy. I hope to schedule a few sessions this month.

[@p0g0th3fun]

Doug Fir in the Sierra Nevadas is responsible for our truffles that are most common. The squirrels play a big roll too. Wish my dog would find truffles!

[@nevi108]

Great content as always! I’m looking forward to the new merch 🍄♥️🍄

[@lilolmecj]

We have the worst Spring! Three warm days, then ten cold and rainy. I have a Jared tome motivating myself to go out and look.

[@johnmat7099]

We have had that in my area too however I went out and found a falsely Morrell so it's all waking up out there!! Keep your spirits up and stay shroomy!

[@HaphazardHomestead]

I'll take Laccaria laccata for eating anytime. They hold up to cooking without falling apart, and freeze well after sauteeing in butter. They have a nice mushroomy flavor. Good for quiche, omelet, with rice, any mix of mushrooms. They can be so plentiful. Nice mushroom walk!

I agree with the treasure hunting aspect, very fun to find for sure🤚🏻 I like finding galerina, I've only found them twice

[@your_eulogy2688]

Out Amanita hunting yesterday and found two Suillus Americanus. Nice thing about the PNW is that we get some mushrooms that are confused as to when they should show up. Really weak Spring but after the worst Fall EVER I will take it.

[@luke5947]

[@jimmystargel6203]

[@monstergirl6342]

Good day! Great video 🥰 Could you please tell a bit about strobilurus type mushrooms? It seems they pop pretty much in lot of places this spring. In some books they are mentioned as edibles too.

[@SwampyColorado420]

Only edible I can ever remember is morels. I'm in the Midwest right now they are popping.

[@HARDERNOTSMARTER8985]

Outstanding!

[@simonmcg23]

Fantastic. Do you ever encounter bears in those woods? I’m in Australia and we only have little cuddly koalas here 😊

[@LardyMongusHunnter]

And hella snakes and spiders 😂

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Once in a while I catch a glimpse of a black bear but they're super afraid of humans and front like to be seen. Cuddly little koalas 🤣 I've seen pictures of their teeth, scary little creatures!!

[@p0g0th3fun]

I've found 34 morels on my own property this year and 22 more on neighboring properties. Only found 4 others somewhere other than my mountains. Feel so lucky! Gonna get DNA sequencing done to see if it's californica

[@bluxbrry]

First! Time to watch :))

[@DTA-me3kv]

Omg your so awesome and so fast.

[@lilolmecj]

Aaron does a great show, beautiful camera work, ex Ellen’s information.

[@kellyjohnson8759]

Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. it has also helped me to survive depression

[@kimkweon5853]

I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across dr.patrick546, a very intelligent mycologist.He saved my life honestly

[@kimkweon5853]

The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well

[@1111sage]

​@@kimkweon5853 since I took a microdose I've never felt better better 😅

[@murrijuana2842]

Bots gonna bot, I guess...

[@vladfreeman2818]

Hey bro if you ever want to come over to north Idaho for some mush hunting let me know. I know a few places that have really impressive big fruits of morel and inky cap and huge conks

[@DTA-me3kv]

What about on the east coast?

[@DoubleADay]

Any idea what I should look for out near Burns Or, Eastern Oregon?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Morels!!

[@DoubleADay]

Thanks

[@jummarn]

Funny you mentioned Northern Europe, I live in Sweden and my grandmother gathered and cooked Gyromitra Ensculenta, and yes, she cooked them twice. I've eaten them as a child (borned -80) but I don't remember either the taste or the consistency. My grandmother always said they were good for the stomach :|

[@mushroomwonderland1]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing your story. Mush Love 🍄🤙 It's also really cool to hear the channel is reaching all the way over there!

[@ClaireChristain]

10:12 , moodset_Pharma got on Îg

[@andrewortiz5797]

Question: do amanita mushrooms grow here in California or in the suburbs or national forest??

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Absolutely

[@dario2rnr]

Amanita Muscaria, and its close cousins, are the best anti-depresent. It must be slow simmered and turned into a Muscimol water extract. It saved me from my 20-year dependency on ssri,s. They are dangerous in high doses when raw or dehydrated.

[@robertmcdowell9649]

Ate esculenta this month just do say I did it once, boiled once. Threw a korfii in there too. Tastes pretty good but yeah leave it alone unless your morels don't come up and you're desperate lol

[@robertmcdowell9649]

But go ahead and stick your nose in one because they have an excellent smell

[@robertmadden7427]

My girlfriend just got me the same mushroom knife!

[@DanaLordsonII]

Those glowing mushrooms look like Omphalotus Illudens a 100% toxic look alike that glows in the dark, usually a little brighter orange, and usually less defined but none the less true gills.

[@nfarr8627]

My austrailian cattle dog tries to eat every mushroom she see, so we have to muzzle her on hikes here in the PNW. 🤕

[@smartjared7203]

[@Dansfoodreview]

Man look how many videos you got already my videos suck I feel like an idiot here's a really good I'm about ready to give up

[@achatinaslak742]

Please let the mushrooms be and do not cut them if possible, so other people can enjoy them too !

[@mushroomwonderland1]

They are only around for a very limited time before they rot, also the only way to properly identify a mushroom is to look underneath at the gills sand the stipe, which is the aim of this channel. Even if I were foraging alone without a camera I wouldn't upturn mushrooms to see what they look like underneath for identification. It actually agitates the mushroom and causes it to drop loads of spores into different air currents, making it a life-giving practice to the fungus. It does not hurt the overall health of the fungi, and in fact can help it. It's the only way to properly identify mushrooms.
