wow amazing Mushrooms,❤❤😊

[@LukesMushrooms]

Glad you like them :)

[@pannachawangkul585]

My late mother loves Oyster mushrooms. She would stew them with other vegetables, so delicious 😋. You are so lucky to have plenty mushrooms to pick.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thank you for your comment. Such cooking idea will be handy :)

[@goodun2974]

​@@LukesMushrooms, Here in Southern New England US, I've only found winter oysters once, but the smaller, more delicate late summer/fall oyster (pulmonarius) is fairly common. I've torn them into small strips and sautéed them in bacon grease with scallops and spinach, sprinkling some chopped bacon on top. As for your "winter oysters", I only found them once, half-frozen, in the local dog park where they appeared to be growing from the ground (must have been some buried wood underneath). It was in the corner of the dog park where the pups go to do their "business" and I didn't much like the idea of the mushrooms being uh, shall we say, "seasoned" in that way, so I didn't harvest them for eating!

Thank youu for the videoo

My pleasure :)

Greetings

[@karenbergmann209]

Wow, what a bounty of fungi! You have a very good eye to see them in all the leaves! And of course your photography is gorgeous!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thank you very much :)

[@wendyhanberg8733]

Beautiful area!!!!! I live in northern Indiana on the border of Michigan. My father taught us to hunt for Morels in the spring when we were just very small. To this day I can’t wait for early spring and the Morels. I love ANY mushroom, but Morels are my favorites!!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks, I'm glad you like the aera. Morels are my favorite too, but I only managed to find them for the first time after I started this channel a few years ago :) I also have a few videos about them from spring.

[@pamelasternin4349]

Another great video! Thank you for making these!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for watching :)

If you want to find craterellus lutescens, which taste pretty much the same but I think look a little bit more nice, you should look around areas that have ponds for several weeks or months at a time or close to bogs. I know they can grow with many types of conifers, I also believe they can grow with birches and probably oak as well. The shape of the hymenium on those is closer to black trumpets than on winter chantarelles, as you most likely know, they are all of the genus craterellus. Great video, as always!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for all the information. I hope I will find C. lutescens too.

[@Jiye4]

This is my first time seeing one of your videos and I love it. Mushrooms are one of my favorite things and your nice voice is a bonus 😊

[@LukesMushrooms]

I'm glad you like it, thank you for your comment :)

[@jarkablahova2403]

Velmi krásná videa a fotky, sbírám, fotím a mou libůstkou jsou dřevokazné houby. Je fajn, že do videí dáváte latinské názvy. Bohužel jsem Vás objevila až včera, ale všechno doženu. Ať se daří a zajímavé úlovky.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Dekuji. Ty nazvy nedavam vsude, spis jenom k mene znamym druhum nebo takovym, ktere nedokazu identifikovat primo ve videu. Snad se budou libit i dalsi videa :)

[@Anonym9x]

Beautiful pictures of the mushrooms👍 Very nice finds. I am jelous 😊

I'm glad you like them :)

Another awesome find in your November foraging Luke..😊❤

I'm glad you like it, thanks for commenting :)

La noi în România se numesc și Păstrăvi de Fag. Chiar dacă ei cresc și pe alți arbori!

[@josephirvinh]

Those are beautiful 😍

[@LukesMushrooms]

Glad you like them :)

[@oligoyoutube]

hunters in the distance? beautiful variety of fungi. Quite funny how we have such a similar diversity even though im in Northern California USA.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Glad you like it and good to hear about similar diversity. And yes, it was probably hunters with the shot.

[@Mak100ish]

wow you like thick mushrooms

[@beccafirebird]

I love this time of year to go out into the forest. Still not found winter chanterelles but I keep looking.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Good luck with finding them :)

[@goodun2974]

Here in New England the mushroom season appears to be completely over once the leaves have all fallen from the trees and we've had a couple nights of below-freezing weather. The Amanita Muscaria, which are quite common in the fall, all stopped coming up a month ago, and I've never seen any mushroom of any kind comes up through snow or fruiting from a log when there's snow blanketing everything.

[@SU-452]

Your videos are excellent. Soporific, and informative! Id be very keen for you to cover, in detail, what youd consume after predators (slugs etc) have eaten them..? Eastern Europeans seem to eat even the most extremely slug chomped on mushrooms. Id love to know your reasoning too

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like my videos. I personally hate when mushrooms are damaged by slugs, but I tolerate it (if there is still a usable part which is big enough and healthy otherwise). Worse is if they have many worms inside - in such case I always cut the 'wormy' parts out and only use the clean ones. However, not all people do this - some people don't mind holes from worms. It varies from person to person so I'm not sure how much Easter Europeans are different - my guess would be that they try to not waste any food.

[@SU-452]

​​​​@@LukesMushrooms Thanks Luke and for your response!! Ive bumped into a lot of Eastern European mushroom foragers in England. Often no English! Once a Polish man thrust a half eaten stipe in my face and said "porcini" very proudly. Id have never gone near it personally, but my perception is that Eastern Europeans are far more tolerant of critters than us Brits! Here, one bite, and the mushroom is ignored often! Id love to see you discuss it on your videos and, perhaps, gather other Eastern Europeans' opinions. Also, Eastern Europeans always have great tips learnt over generations that I love to hear! And your videos are excellent for info I suspect you dont even realise are little gems. Just a thought!

[@stefanlitoiu2795]

Growimg in the could of winter??

[@milanradojkovic3818]

Yes, on that field was Lepista nuda. Personata have whitish gills, not purple.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for confirmation. After I got back home I was pretty sure it was Lepista nuda. Interestingly, I've never found Lepista personata. Hopefully it will change soon.

[@milanradojkovic3818]

@@LukesMushrooms personata is commonly field mushroom.

[@stefanlitoiu2795]

Dumneavoastră cum vă place să le gătiți?? Mulțumesc!

[@ladinark1672]

Lepista Personata because Lepista Nuda is more purple on the cap, etc.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for your opinion. At the end I'm pretty sure about Lepista nuda, but not for 100%.

Have you ever gotten the wrong mushroom?

[@LukesMushrooms]

Yes. When I was younger, we picked some Bitter boletes (Tylopilus felleus) - that's how I learned to recognize them :))

[@stefanlitoiu2795]

Oricum am auzit că sunt delicioase 🙏

[@elisecreations]

Why are you taking so much of what you find? It's important to remember to Forage Only When Necessary: Do Not over harvest wild foods. Foraging is fun, but remember that as a human, you have the ability to source your food in other places - wildlife does not. If you must forage for food, mushrooms, or herbs for an ailment, only harvest 10% -15% of what you see of any plant or patch you find, so it has a good chance to keep growing and come back next year. Remember that other lives depend on it. Also, mushrooms and fungi are essential to the health of the forest.

The last one was lactarius delicious……..

I think so too :)
