Wild Mushroom Identification Walk, Mid May 2023

[@ralph8959]

If you want to get clusters of mushrooms out of trees, carry a good length of fish line (probably atleast 60 feet) attached to a weight (I like a large washer) and then just throw the line over the mushrooms and pull them down. I have done it quite a bit and it works great.

That's a great tip! Thank you, friend... Gonna go back to my local swamp and get the oysters I saw yesterday

[@luke5947]

Awesome show 😊

[@thecook8964]

4 days of oyster mushroom bounty-miso langostine oyster mushroom soup. Oyster mushroom chowder, Sauteed oyster mushrooms w/ fresh caught trout. Nature is good in the PNW

[@crohnspoops2673]

I'm hoping you do a follow up on the oyster cultures!

[@phillipzimmerman8928]

The best video I’ve seen in long time. Good talk and pictures. Was not long enough. It was a good movie and very informative. Good job. I’m telling everyone one to subscribe

[@jimkaletaBuffalo]

Great videos, thanks for sharing.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Another great video!

[@bluxbrry]

Can’t wait!!!

[@ArtichokeHunter]

I use a fruit picker for the high up mushrooms. It can be hard to knock them off but I haven't tried taping a knife on there, just used the claw part to hook and pull.

[@Scor-ah]

oh wow, thanks for the info...I found a patch of white oyster mushrooms on an old dead birch tree laying in the forest on our property here in North Idaho....wasn't sure what they were. Some for lunch and some to try and cultivate closer to home❤

[@mikedjb1]

Totally agree, mushrooms like the side of the trail, some of my best finds were spotted from the main trail

[@camperkill1136]

im eating wild oyster mushrooms from vancouver island right now, lol, my favorite i think, love this channel

So much rain here in CO. Telluride should be amazing right now.

[@arianamartinez1037]

We are near Joyce and found a bunch of oysters too! woohoo! love your vids

[@calebthompson6724]

yesterda I picked some fairly large painted suillus that were fused together at the top, absolutely stunning mushroom.

[@Spaceghost_2347]

Love the shirt Walmart didn't have my size

[@Sketchi9Dkid]

Thank you very much for what you do. I know where some VERY interesting specimen down south this time of year... they are very difficult for newbies to identify down south, a single 2 mile walk could yield 20 different specimen, so thank you bro, I've learned everything I know from you, you're my golden teacher 🥲😀

[@Sketchi9Dkid]

BTW @09:15 I found some like that but they have a purple/black print, im having difficulty identifying it, from what I gather its either deadly or psychoactive. Its brown top, brown stem, brown/purple gills, black purple spore print, and about 3-6cm wide cap, and about 5 cm tall

[@jaxntax5509]

May 20th I was at about 2100 ft in Giffordpincho found panther and several others.

[@mymorelmaddness83]

Nice shirt I have one just like it and yeah I've never seen called flower in the same place twice but I do go to my morel places pretty much every year

[@arborsamurai]

Excelente PNW mushroom video. Thank you.

[@mekalehenderson3099]

What trail is this? It's beautiful out there

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

i'm gonna be a panther cap in the seattle summer solstice parade :) i know a great place for them in NE seattle but haven't found any there since last year. the city planted new trees and i think they disturbed the mycelium

[@Nemrai]

Living in Norway, I mostly prefer the early season chanterelles. Like you mention, they have a nicer texture then. Later on they often grow too large and soft to be really tasty, at least to me.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lissawick2171]

With millions of sports, why are there not more mushrooms? Thanks Aaron and Gunner

[@mrbosky710]

the mycelium has to compete with other organisms like trichoderma and bacteria that prevent mycelium from fruiting or there's only a small spot where the substrate was the right kind for the specific mushroom fruiting. it could also just depend on weather conditions and mycelium growth rate, I've seen spots where one week there were only a couple mushrooms and another week there was triple the amount

[@mushroomwonderland1]

They take very specific conditions to start growing, so it takes millions of spores to find just the right place, conditions, and moisture to grow!

[@lissawick2171]

@@mushroomwonderland1 thanks

[@lissawick2171]

@@mrbosky710 about the Trichoderma and bacteria, Cyanobacteria, mushrooms use oxygen in the air process I believe I believe. Well, they have a great strategy. Thank you.

[@johnmat7099]

Have a question about the spring king bollete if it is a dryer spring does that affect the fruiting of them as greatly as it does per say Morrell? Thank you for your videos and information shout out from southern oregon

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Fact is that mushrooms need a lot of moisture to grow. The dry spring is no doubt having some kind of an effect but I see they're still popping up. Microclimates.

[@johnmat7099]

[@infinitemidnightghostmourner]

What do Oyster mushrooms taste like? I'd love to know

[@gabrielapetunia1871]

I have noticed that often, you will get a big fruiting of oyster mushrooms after a tree falls down because the mycelium has been feeding on the wood for a long time, and when the tree falls, the fruiting happens because the organism needs to move to another food source to survive.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I don't believe theyre parasitic. The mycelium is vigorous and takes hold once the tree dies. 🍄

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

seems to me from the oyster flushes i've found that they help pop the bark off newly dead trees. i usually don't find more when the log is totally nude of bark but i will find them in spring and fall until the tree is totally debarked

[@gabrielapetunia1871]

@@mushroomwonderland1 I meant to say “when a dead tree falls”! I left out an important detail. Lol. I think the tree falls because the oyster mushroom has already done most of its eating.

So what grows in the south east

[@fungi42o0]

I think I have some magic but I'm still learning.. lots of edibles tho.. next season I'll be more educated this year seems abundant

Hey mushbroo I found a fungi that I can't I'd maybe you could help me out?

[@warrenbrown2446]

Unfortunately there’s a prediction for a super elnino that gunna hit in the fall which will bring even dryer and wormer air to the pnw… I’m praying that this isn’t the case but it’s not lookin to well for us mushroom lovers
