About this channel:
I am a wild mushroom lover and this channel is about me and my wife identifying, collecting, cooking and sometimes preserving wild mushrooms. I've tasted nearly fifty different species of wild mushrooms in Northeast America so far, and I would like to extend my list and to share with you my adventures of nature exploring.

[@swayback7375]

Well that is super cool! I'll be trying that out for sure! Is there a way that users can help make it more accurate ? I'd love to know more about this , thanks for the effort, the videos are really great, I would love to forage with you guys! If ever want to hunt on the other side of the mountains, in Kentucky then I can show you some lovely woods to walk in. Keep it coming

I love the app good job

[@brandonsellers4888]

Where are you hunting your mushrooms? I live in east Tennessee and the woods you forage in looks a lot like the Smoky mountains.

[@Mushroom_club]

Mushroom people are the best people! I love the excitement from you and your wife when you find a good mushroom 😆 so relatable

Thank you! good luck finding lots of wild edibles too 😄

This was one of the best mushroom videos I have seen. Combining the foraging, identification, and cooking with recipes. You should have so many more followers. I really enjoyed it. I’m diving into your other videos. Can’t wait.

[@heatherericksonauthor]

I was beginning to mourn the passing of fall and my time in the woods. You have encouraged me to get out there even when winter comes. Plus, I look forward to trying new recipes! Bless you both!

[@swimmintink]

I'm in GA and just discovered the joy of mushroom hunting. I was fortunate to find a huge Lion's Mane down the street from my house! This video got me inspired too - hopefully you have found some great winter mushrooms.

[@PursuitFI]

I appreciate the structure and format of your videos. I enjoyed the full 30 minutes.

[@OldManoftheWoods]

thanks 😃

[@HaphazardHomestead]

You've got some impressively productive forests that you visit! Foraging in the fall and winter is so unappreciated! I'm glad to know you enjoy those seasons, too. Spring is full of great wild greens that change from day to day. But in fall and winter, the variety of mushrooms and their change from week to week is so amazing. I'll take the cold over mosquitoes and ticks any day. And the visibility through the woods is so much better without the leaves. What a nice variety of delicious mushrooms you've been finding! And the way you cook them looks so delicious! :D I've never run across the Aborted Entoloma when I've been in the eastern US. I'm looking forward to that some day. But I have been visiting relatives in Arkansas, Texas, and Kansas in late November and early December. We were finding and eating a good variety of mushrooms -- Swollen-stalked Cats (Catathelasma ventricosum), Purple-gilled Laccaria (Laccaria ochropurpurea), Hedgehogs (Hydnum repandum - although I think there's been a recent name change for North American species), Wood ears (Auricularia auricula), and Oysters (Pleurotus ostreatus). Happy holidays! And have a great year of foraging, wild food, and fun in 2019!

[@OldManoftheWoods]

Right? mosquitos and spiders are the biggest protectors of mushrooms, maybe maggots too, sort of. and all the sweat.. While in winter, no lions can hide their manes! Wow you got some nice mushrooms down there! I haven't seen any decent enough hedgehogs and I want to find some swollen-stalked cats too! Happy 2019!

[@chibiyaten15]

@Old Man of the Woods... Hello brother... Such a very nice,good and informative Channel about MUSHROOM and very,very well and expertly discribbed which to me,you, being "Old Man of the Wood" must mean you have STUDIED WELL and lived near the Woods for quite a long time...Yet...still young of AGE b'cos ..young man,I"m an OLD MAN n is 63 years of Age ..Haha.. I like your content in your Video Channel mainly b'cos I love the taste of those fine, soft meaty, munchy tasty Mushrooms that seems just right for my diet..the EDIBLE ones,of course!! When I was much,much younger around teenager years..I still use to wake up early when the mornin' was cold and little misty fog still lingers on wet grounds on the field beside my parent's home.. I go out to look for the snow white mushrooms that grew out from the wet ground,in clusters or separately..here and there..running in high spirit..happy to see them there. I like to collect them in the fold of my T-shirt,rolled in my belly side edge up to neck where I use my teeth to bite the edges of the shirt,bunching n trapping them, I head home away from wet,cold ground.. Your Video Channel gets me back to those boyhood,happy times sharing those mushrooms,as food on table with eggs,butter and bread as breakfast feast for the family.TQ as to memories..

[@OldManoftheWoods]

Thank you for sharing your precious memory Charles. I can't seem to recall a mushroom that fits your description, but hope one day you can see one in our future videos! and please let me know by then. as for the name, old man of the woods is one of the first wild mushrooms I've ever found. I am immediately attracted, and I know this hobby will grow old with me :)
