Inoculating Mushroom Logs + Chicken and Waffles

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Thanks for the shoutout bro! Heads up to anyone looking for candy caps, these can be pretty tricky for beginners to identify and I have seen more candy cap look-alike mushrooms this season than any season that I can remember. They are a real treat to find, but please be 100% positive on your identification. Remember: when in doubt, throw it out! Taku and Jocelyn, I hope we get to meet up and forage again soon! Miso definitely wants to meet Roscoe!

[@maxmanwaring-mueller6753]

The collab we’ve been waiting for!

[@patron40silver]

I think you should do a video on your mom ( if she's comfortable with it ), making the aprons and knife bags, so that people can see the time that goes into making them and the quality of her craftsmanship. You could add that to every video you post.

[@Danekim_]

Stop being nosey bro

[@TidesToTerra]

@@Danekim_that’s not being nosey that’s a great idea fym

[@jcmacias9631]

Love the idea

[@KeithUehara-f5c]

I was just going to say the same thing about making videos of mom’s craft work

[@chris6054]

@Danekim_ must be white. There's nothing nosy about wanting to see and appreciate the detail that any other culture puts into their craft work. Thats exactly the same as them showing us how the pottery was made, etc, when they go to central America. People LIKE that. It makes them buy more lol. After all, Taku *IS* using these as merch for us.

[@esmith1771]

Roscoe is such a good boy! What a great doggy! Best foster fail ever! :)

[@fritzkocher]

im so very happy you kept the dog! what great news!!!! thank you for doing that! dogs are the best!

[@jamescostello6529]

Thank you two for giving Roscoe a forever home! Your love for him will be returned many times over!

[@BigBwana69]

My wife says the look on my face when you were talking about making custom sized aprons and realizing you were talking about me was the best ever!!! She didn’t share details so I can’t wait to be surprised.

[@NorthSpore]

Sweet! Stoked to see how things go and grow 🤩😁

[@phyllisuwekoolani5985]

Congrats to you both for choosing to give Roscoe a loving home! 🌺

[@pandaonweed]

i do have to say your new videos on your property and the homestead aspect really leveled up your channel. keep up the good work.

[@Pandamania371]

Congrats yall, Roscoe is beautiful and a great dog already! Don’t forget to focus on discipline and training as he grows up. Experience is key for him, crawl, walk, run. They’re highly intelligent breeds and great family dogs.

[@The5Ronin]

Hearing the rain and frogs in the background really sets the mood. It reminds me of when I lived next to a tanbo. I envy the life you've built Taku.

[@Michael_McMaster]

Crazy that you got to see that fight. If you’re curious, the hawk is a Red-shouldered Hawk and the owl is a Barn Owl.

[@mikedalto364]

Owls actively hunt hawks and falcons... Usually right out of their nests at night

[@Michael_McMaster]

Hawks also are known to hunt owls, they are both pretty opportunistic. In this case, it was probably a territorial fight because they both recognize the other as a threat and they got tangled up in the fight.

[@JobraKai]

Love that you guys rescued Roscoe, he definitely chose you and showed loyalty by helping you dig, what a beautiful story! This was dope to see the mushroom inoculation as well. I've never seen that before, what a cool project!

[@jaygalloway2798]

Taku, congrats on deciding to adopt Rosco. He looks like a cool dog. Also the "falcon" Joslin saw with the owl was actually a Red Shoulder Hawk. One of the most showy small hawks usually seen near water courses. They are one of my favorites though I have never gotten to work with them.

[@liyinchong4493]

As a dog lover, your love for Roscoe inspired me. Roscoe is a very fortunate dog. So happy for you and hope to see Roscoe more in your video ❤

[@stevenospam4216]

I love your vids....have watched many over the last couple years. Note about the tangled birds, if no one else has written this already: Owls are the predator of hawks, not vice versa. So Rosco saved a hawk!

[@narttahn]

Roscoe fits in perfectly! I once had a Doberman. They are extremely intelligent, loyal, goofy, and will make a perfect adventure buddy. Go Roscoe!!

[@justinbond5866]

I knew it! lol, He’s literally the perfect dog for you two. I mean what a match. Welcome to the fam Roscoe!

[@lexist2112]

I knew you guys would adopt Roscoe after I saw him digging with you Taku!!! Great dog and companion for both you and Jocelyn… congrats

[@Nzmwwww1238]

Roscoe is so cute !!! Glad you adopted him

[@ryanmodra9420]

HAHAHA (im sorry I don't know how to spell your name but i'll just use how I know to spell it) Jocelyn, you trying to record the funny noises of Roscoe was absolutely hilarious and made me cackle, Roscoe is such a good boy, him yelling "TIMBER" with you was priceless. He's a great addition to the crew!

[@jakeguli5538]

Awesome News! Congratulations to you two and rosko..... Was hoping from day one you'd keep him. Such a beautiful boy

[@MichaelRomero]

Congratulations on the new addition. Glad you decided to keep Roscoe! Big thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼

[@aldoevortega5224]

Roscoe is seriously the best addition to this channel.

[@Bobalouie49]

Great choice in mushrooms.Another one you might want to look into is my talkie or hand of the woods is a very good Mushroom medicine and very good edible and congratulations on your new dog.I'm happy for you guys

[@roymcintyre579]

I found a honey whole of Lyons mane and Morel mushrooms on my buddies property. He won't eat mushrooms, so he said I could take whatever I find. Last spring I took about five pounds of Morels. We also got about twenty puff balls out of my backyard. I recently bought ten of the Back To The Roots Organic Mushroom Farm kits. You grow them out of a box. Each box you get two grows from them. Great video, and congratulations on becoming a new pet parent.

[@TheAlienJones]

That's awesome news! Had my dog for 3 years now and we have like a psychic intuitive bond now. So happy for you guys with the property and the cookbook and Roscoe and everything. Awesome stuff!

[@mmt9938]

WHat an adventure!!! I love you guys... and ROSCOE! ❤💪 Can't wait for the results of the mushrooms!

[@mastathrash5609]

Great job Roscoe, saved an owl from being lunch, found some mushrooms, Dug valiantly after a gopher (mabey). What a very good boy. It seems like he’s taking to your training, I believe that you can get him to chill around specific loud noises.👍. I never thought about making pancakes with candy caps. That sounds absolutely delicious.

[@danamaxineyandt980]

A great day for the three of you. Roscoe loves you and receives the same from you. Congratulations! 🎉

[@kenyattamm]

Yeah!!!!🎉🎉🎉 We adopted Rosco. I had a dog "Rosco PICO Colltrain Dash" So happy Always only adopt strays.

[@A.Spivey]

Thanks for loving that boy Roscoe-He is a great dog and obviously is imprinted on you.

[@Ricksta]

Would have been epic if Roscoe found a truffle when he was digging 😊

[@Sakana_Ren]

Omg, they even have reishi and shiitake. Going to be an awesome harvest. Yum. 🍄

[@AK-cl7kg]

The sound of frogs croaking in the background is pretty awesome to hear😜🤙🏽

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I really enjoyed this. Hope that you have good success with the mushroom cultivation. Foraging for wild mushrooms is a good thing to know. My dad and his brothers were good at foraging for wild mushrooms on his farm in Alberta, Canada. I had another uncle who was also good at foraging for wild mushrooms. Your property is very nice. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn! ✌️#TakuTuesday

[@zyxlor]

I’m so happy that you adopted Roscoe!

[@sixfour2202]

I live in Northern California and our dog likes to run around outside too, I’d suggest looking in to getting a collar with a beeper for Rosco.. dogs love to chase deer, squirrels and, other sorts of things. Sometimes our dog bolts off and she will not respond to verbal commands. We’ve recently had bears and mountain lion sightings in the area we live in.. just something to keep in mind. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@lethPointer]

For truffle/mushroom training with rosco you can use a little plastic container like in a kinder surprise egg, with some holes and whatever mushroom you train for. Just let him sniff it and hide it or bury slightly and try to use your best reward, like cheese or whatever he likes most. He looks like he loves to work!

[@esmith1771]

Kinder Eggs have been banned in the USA for many years.

[@lethPointer]

@@esmith1771 oh snap, i remember. There are plenty of alternatives though. Even fake truffles.

[@Hotsauce760]

the future meals at this new place are about to be amazing. can't wait till you have a full garden and all that

[@eat_the_meek_1835]

We knew you’d keep Roscoe! In the future, when you inoculate logs, it’s best to leave them a few weeks after cutting them. When they are freshly cut, the tree can still battle the mycelium. I’m sure you’ll be fine since oysters and lions mane are pretty aggressive. Love to see all the mushroom stuff!

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Magnificent animal. Much anticipation of blooming. Way way way back nearly fifteen years I had running water, and electric and gas but I recall then that the lawn sprinklers made incredible blooms.🤔

[@guylingovender8622]

Happy new year my brother, welcome to family Rosco ✌️

[@downrightdaffy3692]

I used to use a wax rolled strip that is used for covers for test tubes. I used it for covering horticultural grafts by stretching around the branch. It naturally sticks to itself. When in a pinch, it might work for covering multiple tree holes with mushroom spawn. No heat to melt the wax is needed. 🦮🦮🦮🦮🦮🎉

[@Alotta-u4h]

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles - how fitting!

[@mikering6897]

Congratulations on Roscoe. Dobys are the best. Mine is 8 and loves to go fishing.

[@gonzalez198123]

Congratulations Roscoe on adopting your humans. You definitely made a good choice. I knew you would fit right in with those two 😁🍻.

[@Kevin-z8w3k]

I've been watching you for years. I'm so glad to see you have a dog now. He looks like a shepherd cross With a Doby. Known to be Really great tracking dogs.

[@ashleylerner8486]

I am even more convinced that Roscoe was meant for you guys after this video. He is so cool!!

[@BngBnGCaliKid]

So happy yall adopted him. I knew you would. He’s such a good boy

[@BangtanSon6363]

I love Taku's sense of humor 🤣

[@ColderTwo871]

You're living the life Taku! Can't wait for the cookbook 👏

[@GoldenAK42089]

The Outdoor Chef Dog FTW... it be nice to reward Roscoe with a piece of chicken

[@Battleforabilliondollars]

It's just hard having a famous pet or a pet online because everyone will always find something that you're doing wrong and complain about the stupidest things....

[@Fog1k305]

WORD

[@OutdoorChefLife]

I’m finding that out even in this video and it’s only been up a couple hours. It’s all good. Haters gonna hate

[@Stingzone69]

This is not just with pets alone 😅

[@king812345678]

I'm not sure what other people are hating on, but i would personally never operate a chainsaw or fell a tree without having my dog leashed up a safe distance away, or just inside the house

[@Magoooobly]

​@@king812345678 good thing trees fall in predictable manners otherwise that dog was toast!

[@Lockdown22]

yeah you can definetly train him to sniff mushrooms. just watched a hunting dog find shot quail in deep thick grass in mexico. ive never done it but i figure you get those mushrooms first off and then hide it somewhere in the house but close by then give him a treat then hide it farther and farther away until eventually he picks up on it

[@dave9351]

Roscoe is digging up Cabrillo's buried treasure Looks like a great homestead with awesome possibilities ! Time for some wild boar on the BBQ 🍻

[@k.smith808]

Yeassss!!!! Great choice on keeping Roscoe.

[@R808-e9e]

We love Roscoe! We had a wonderful Doberman named Sachi and she could pass as a sibling of Roscoe!

[@mattphillips6578]

There is something very satisfying about that mushroom inoculation process!!

[@debramage739]

Well done your new family member 😊. Collect your pine cones, great fire starters. 😊

[@ricklee7171]

I would love to see a video if Take & Joceyln make a mushroom farm of different varieties. Having guests or friends having a mushroom farm tour

[@lemonamo]

As s failed foster cat dad, i cant say im surprised 😂 you two are going to be a natural dog family

[@skrt99]

So thankful for finding this channel, you two seem like good people. Since I‘m sadly not connected to the outdoors at all, your videos give me a little bit of peace at least …

[@antoyamet1]

You got me with your profile picture.😅

[@casperrealov]

yay so happy for you guys that you decided to take Roscoe. blessing guys and happy new year

[@ourfamilysvarietyshow]

He's a good fit for your family. Congratulations.

[@margaretcopeland5029]

You might train Roscoe to be a "shroom dog" - very useful. I watched more of the video, you're on your way. I like how you tell Roscoe what you are doing. Dogs understand. I think it reduces any anxiety.

[@bongo2011]

You should make a video of your mom or if she doesn't want to be on camera you can talk over but would be interesting to see the process of creating the aprons and knife bags.

[@cmatthew4]

Ao glad you adopted rosko..... Figured it would happenn but he seems like such a good boy.... dogs are the best, one thats as faithfull as that one you won't be dissapointed

[@Andre-Nader]

Can you do a video with your mom showing how she makes all your gear? I would love to see the behind the scenes into how that collab between the two of you works from idea to execution to the iterations you have done over the years.

[@skunklusscrew985]

Love the place you got there. Hope one day I will own a forest like you..

[@CookingWithClams]

Just got my shitake kit from northspore too! Can’t wait, good luck on the lions mane

[@billydylan4084]

its good to see roscoe with you guys. since it can find mushrooms, i wonder if roscoe can find truffles?

[@znilf84]

You guys have been so excited to announce the adoption! Love this for you!

[@stitchyaj1989]

Living the life Taku mushrooms are delicious or miselium & what an awesome dog~ can’t wait to see how the mushrooms turn out as well

[@Kevin-z8w3k]

You're doing a good job my friend. Glad you picked up rosco. He's gonna be a good dog for you.

[@AnakinSkyobiliviator]

I think Roscoe is less bothered by the chainsaw but the prospect of falling that tree! That being said, awesome thought to make him a mushroom hunting companion!

[@Idk-ro9nt]

I watched s3 of Clarksons Farm where he farmed Lions Mane mushrooms and it only took like a month. But that was in a bunker with humidifiers and temperature control. He ended up with way too much mushrooms in the end. I’m excited to see how your mushroom farm turns out

[@tonyfonager]

Absolutely love the new property videos ❤

[@MicroDweller]

Your videos are a gift thank you for existing!

[@charliedcho]

So satisfying seeing you inoculate that log. Excited to see what happens!

[@malalamalala6769]

Congrats on your new addition!

[@Division4]

I love Roscoe so much! Lucky dog.

[@rizlaruler7404]

Candy caps are my top three favorite mushrooms and I’m thinking you should spread the spores more around the property also can you make a videos of a dessert you could bake with the candy caps

[@DontCare1990]

Oh man if he starts learning to find truffles that would be the greatest thing ever!

[@carterrehberg4344]

I don't like mushrooms but I'd still definitely eat those waffles! congrats on adopting Roscoe!

[@ChristopherLund-v9y]

Chicken and waffles! And your new dog is named Roscoe. It was meant to be. Roscoe’s chicken and waffles is a very famous restaurant in LA😂

[@ThePoosebaby]

Cool video i used to grow mushrooms of the magic variety lol and when i got a couple flushes off of them i could dump it out in a shadey corner in my backyard and get another flush or two usually off them. The mold would take over inside but outside the mycellium could fight it and win.

[@johnouyoung1]

Nice, knew you would adopt him. Just hope it doesn't affect your traveling too much.

[@melbriggs2324]

congrats on the new family member.

[@damiengibson8498]
