November Mushroom Identification- 2024

[@pelewads]

I never subscribed to a channel until I have watched a few videos. But as a mushroom forager, in the South Willamette valley. And as someone who was stationed at Bangor, and later at the naval hospital. I am absolutely giddy to find your channel. We too have been having a wonderful November. I have a spot at about 2000 ft where you can't walk 3 ft without finding a shrimp roseola or a chanterelle. Look forward to seeing what you do next.

Went for long walk in Charente France, found about 500 gr of hedgehog mushroom, also same last week. Love your show thank you

@@jonduncombe2658 thank you, I love the updates from the other side of the pond.

Wolf fart!!! AWESOME!!! Thanks again for the great content!

[@SylvenGDCS]

Just moved out here from Indiana and west into the woods a bit, found some coral and other mushrooms, this video really helped with seeing how the chantrel and lobster mushrooms kind of hide underneath the leaves. was going to add a a couple of pics cause not sure what the white ones on the stump are. Thanks for video.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Excellent! I was so bummed those mushrooms didn't glow! That would have been so cool! Next time! Gunner is so awesome!

[@Starclimber]

Thanks Aaron, some real beauties there!

[@Metoo-y7q]

Thank! 😊 Never knew those violet corts were edible. I was always told to make sure I checked because you don’t want to get them mixed up in your blewits. Maybe they are different out east here, because they are more blewit colored and not as dark as your cort…

Mush love from NorCal. Still waiting for mushroom season to kick in fully here!

[@DarcyKehler]

I have eaten Stropharia - it definitely wasn't "hot leaves" but it also wasn't spectacularly good.

[@deveary]

This was legit so helpful! I can’t wait

[@karmareed3598]

Found the Shrimp Brittlegill on my property tonight! Super cool mushroom

[@k90rbitrescue]

i remember you and gunner from an outdoor edm party i was playing meny years ago love to see at the shows agian

[@gabet7333]

You should mention that if there's a mushroom you like or want more of around, while out you can use the fruit bodies to make new or bigger areas were the mushrooms are. Like oysters any part of the mushrooms can be tore apart into small pieces and used to put into holes made in fallen logs or trees. Certain trees work better than others, other mushrooms can be broken up into pieces and tossed In areas with similar environments. I find this works very well with most fungi ive tried it with. A point to science is to simplify and make easier isn't it? For the next season. plan ahead it helps.

[@ScottieD369]

Thank you for the adventure as always! 🍄❤️

[@wendyholzinger7266]

Aaron you are so very good at educating! Me at least. Living in your nearby area helps, since Whidbey has nearly identical weather the Kitsap zone. I imagine most everyone can learn from you regardless of their location. Just saying. Thank you for your good work and perseverance. Thanks for introducing me to the many other sources of information in the micological field of education. So much more than I’d ever imagined And.. thanks for being a good dog dad to Gunnar. Once in a while my dog “Doc” gets a glance of him and tunes in to viewing an otherwise boring( to him) KZbin video. He is the best mushroom hunting partner. He knows what we are after for the most part and is very excited when i show excitement for his finds. This year he learned what Chanterelles are, helping me a lot recently since they have declined to near extinction. 😂 Keep it up. You do well!!

[@RickSteckler]

Thanks Aaron for another educational and inspiring vid. I just got back from 2.5 weeks in S. Africa (not many mushrooms there RN) and am out in my local Olympia woods now - watching you on phone in one hand, picking with the other lol. Back to my happy place! Finding some nice bellybutton hedgehogs, tired lobsters, turkey tails, fresh chantys and some beautiful creamy white coral (tastiest ramaria IMHO). Went out by Matlock yesterday and couldn’t believe the absolute SEA of (mostly beyond prime) chantys. But still got a big batch of nice firm ones. Time to start stocking up on them for freezer and freeze dryer while there are still plenty in good shape.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@RickSteckler awesome, thanks for the comment!

[@RickSteckler]

@ On my way to checking out Skokomish valley now. Should be loaded with Winter Chanterelles, hopefully some Matsutake & Cauliflower!

[@quantumtimelines2846]

Nice!

[@NotVirtuality]

I found some bleeding bonnets here in the PNW the other day. If you gently grab the cap and pull it off, the stem will ooze plenty of "blood"!

[@HansQuistorff]

I do eat the puff balls if they just came up. The moss bell I found today. The sadle cap my mother called beef steak which she fried with the meat.

[@MugoiKihaku]

I saw a bunch of the Elfen saddle last week but I also saw some orange ones that looks very similar growing on wood. They were but though and in a cluster. But same body shape and top

[@marthathompson2012]

Aaron-thanks so much for all your work and everything you’ve produced here! I love your content, and have learned so much! Such a fascinating part of nature and ecology! QUESTION: is there anything about gilled mushrooms that inherently makes them more dangerous than non-gilled mushrooms? Why might someone feel that they should automatically avoid all gilled mushrooms and that they are safer because they do? I’d love it if you could point me to a solid source for this, or if it’s easier to explain. I’m curious, as a friend and fellow forager keeps bringing this up, but doesn’t provide a source.

[@wingnutbert9685]

Grocery store mushrooms are gilled.........I'd say that says it all about that. The only mushroom that isn't dangerous to eat is the one you KNOW is safe to eat.

[@natedizzy]

Lovely 🍄

[@redrider5832]

I am still finding chantarelles. especially under huckleberry bushes

[@j.moggridge]

So much diversity this time of year

[@cindyliberty]

If you drive on Hobart/Issaquah road toward Maple Valley, just a short drive past Hobart store, you can go left in front of a firestation on the left, and that road leads to trails and mushrooms. Just ride it until you've gone uphill and down a bit and you see a place that will either have horse trailers or parking big enough for that. Your trails are across the street from trailer parking and places to park on the side of the road. Pretty quiet most times.

[@mrparrehesian1742]

In my area the Helvella Vespertina comes up at the same time as the pine mushrooms, last year they exposed themselves in July. Violet webcap for eating is similar to the purple potato which looks sort of gross mashed up on the table.

Hey, not to worry societal shifts and progress towards a more naturally connected world takes generations if not longer. It is unlikely that we will experience the fruit of this change in our lifetime, however the stone has been set in motion and there is no stopping it. I just say live the happiest life you can and show everyone who wants to listen what you know. Everything will work it’s way, we’re just in the beginning phases. Mush love !!

Do you prefer to clear the gills off before cooking the Shimp Rus' or do you leave them? I've not tried them yet, but the gills seem like they'd be kinda messy to include since they break off so easy and wouldn't look nice.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@wingnutbert9685 The couple times that I have cooked them I made a breakfast hash with them, so the gills didn't bother me. But it's not a bad idea because they are pretty brittle and flake apart everywhere.

Helvella vespertina has a disgusting texture and taste regardless if they have carcinogens or not. Stropharia Ambigua are actually kinda delightful for their texture in a stir fry or such

Never been mushroom hunting before, but my son took me to the near Coast Range west of Portland 2 days ago, and he found a huge chantrelle and some others not quite as large. He was shocked to find this in early November. I wish I could post the image here, but I guess it's not allowed in the comments. Sigh . . .
