My husband found a yellow amanita muscaria around some pine trees across from our house last week. That is the third version of amanita that I’ve found growing in our yard this year. It’s incredibly fascinating to learn about all the different mushrooms. You have one of the best channels to learn about them. Your enthusiasm and knowledge combined with your teaching abilities really make your videos stand out. I’ve been binge watching them for a few weeks now. I always learn something from them. Thank you.

A. muscaria is such a beautiful mushroom. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have huge ones, they can range from yellow to orange to bright red.

[@jameswest4819]

In Northern California, during the time that the Fly-Agaric mushroom fruits, squirrels tend to get run over because they seem to go crazy when crossing the road and dart back and forth in front of your car. The back and forth behavior seems to be an evasive technique for hawk attack. The technique gets them killed where tires are concerned. It is very common to see that red mushrooms we are discussing munched by squirrels. I think that their little brains get influenced by the mushroom and they end up squished...it happens every year.

Bay bolete was the first good edible mushroom I spotted and identified here in Northern-Central Germany. It was late October, wet and mossy patch of spruce forest. I was (and still am) a real novice in fungi world, so this find has simply amazed me. I was so happy! Didn't collect them, only made a lot of photos :) Thanks Adam, great videos.

[@havenpiper]

Conifer and pine forests are some of my favorite places to hunt for mushrooms because that's where Boletes grow! It's so cool to see a pine duff covered forest in Pennsylvania! And even cooler to see that you found edible porcini like mushrooms! Another amazing video! Have you ever found the Boletus edulis species?
