Oyster Mushroom Food, Medicine and More

[@m.e.p.b.]

I have arrhythmias bec of coronary artery disease. I list and monitor what I drink and eat. My heart contraction and aorta is strong and my aorta is pulsating for the past 3 months. Last night, FIRST TIME I ate asparagus and oyster mushroom with lots of garlic & onion cooked in salted butter. Then I took magnesium glycinate and sole water. After 2 hours of eating I notice my heart not contracting hard. It is normal. I lay flat on the bed and notice my aorta not pulsating that much and the tension (hardening) in the center of my stomach softened. Again, this is the first time I ate oyster mushrooms and asparagus and firt time my heart became normal. I thank God for His wonderful creation.

Really good wild ones, can be incredibly medicinal, and extra delicious too especially the ones that look like large white chanterelles

[@jawakening2043]

From the store usually no, but from a farmers market or something like that they must be better then what I found at the store(the grocery store)

[@bcbro142]

I actually have been using oyster mushrooms lately so much! One of my favorite very simple recipes is just grilling them on a cast-iron pan with some olive oil salt pepper and Sriracha sauce😊

[@kdavis4910]

Oyster mushrooms can even be found in the winter if Temps are fairly mild. They are simply frozen sitting there under the snow on their substrate of choice. They grow spring through fall and there are different pleurotus species from pulmonarius in the spring to ostreatus in the fall. All are delicious. I have some fresh ones now. I am making soup and chowder and deep frying the rest. I have some dried to try making tincture too. Food is medicine my friends. Be well ✌

[@sonofabear]

I love oyster mushrooms! I usually substitute them in a clam chowder soup. Thanks for sharing.

[@cizumtac7240]

I harvested my first batch of them from a fallen oak in the woods behind my house back in November... I dried them out to add to soups later but the kids loved them dehydrated so they didn't make it to a soup, haha, they can't wait until they come back so we can make an oyster mushroom etoufee 😊 thanks for the share, I had no idea they were medicinal! Here's to learning something new everyday 👍👍

[@stablestoic1491]

Thank you Jedi. As a hobby mycologist I love growing oysters for my diet. One of my favorites. Also Chaga, the mush of immortality.

[@petset77]

Our favorite way to cook them is pan sauteed in either ghee or regular salted (organic) butter, with garlic strait from the garden. Oysters are easy to grow at home , too. Delicious.

[@dianeneale1007]

I envy your lush forests that we don't have in Southern California. It is difficult to find abundant living things when living through a drought as we have now.

[@macylouwho1187]

I have a five gallon bucket of these growing in boiled/cooled straw out on my deck in shade. Husband drilled small holes all over the bucket sides and bottom. I bought one of those kits from Walmart that has the mycelium in coffee grounds, allowed it to expand to the point that the box was popping open, then I opened the pack and dispersed all of the mycelium throughout layers of straw in the bucket with a lid. We’ve been keeping it misted daily and now we have oyster mushrooms popping out so many of the holes. Oodles of them. We’ll continue this on as long as we can and keep growing more and more buckets of mushrooms from that one twenty dollar purchase of a mushroom growing kit from Walmart. It’s honestly been so easy to do. And yielded so many more mushrooms than that little kit ever could have because it’s a massively bigger surface area for the mycelium to grow through and emerge from as mushrooms. Thanks for explaining all of the health benefits of the mushrooms. I had no idea. This video just came up on my KZbin feed and I’m so glad :)

[@WoodlandHoodlumTV]

I miss watching this channel about 4 years ago he always had a video out like this where you learn about a new plant or mushroom but not as much as the plants. Last couple years the channel has been different with short nature walks or Talking about getting in touch with your wild side and nature or something similar which I do still watch but these kinds of videos have always been my favorite because I learn something new each time I rewatch.

Are they good in July? Or should I wait until spring again? I have 40 acres with boreal forest and birch and higher land too. 3/4 all wild. It’s time to gather! Thanks. I’m a 500hr Yoga therapist and just got the Boreal Herbal book and I’m learning what these Mother Earth plants are all about and I love it! I can identify berries really well, and plants but the plethora of knowledge to be had about these gifts are amazing. I wish I had learned years and years ago. But I plan to be a knowledgeable person in the next couple years as I bond with them. Ohh and I have an abundance of chaga!! Go me and my forest! Love your space. Thank you

I really enjoyed learning more about the health benefits of oyster mushrooms as I just made a new friend who is cultivating pearl oyster mushrooms in my city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I will definitely get more from him again. I got to try his red cap mushrooms. Looking forward to trying his king white and black oyster mushrooms in a couple of weeks.

I found oyster mushrooms growing on a pine tree stump. I live in Colorado and it’s kind of rare to find mushrooms in the wild but we’ve had so much moisture this year. I’m not surprised. I was told by a friend that mushrooms grown on pine would taste really pine like and not to eat them, I never hear on videos what kinds of wood would have an effect on the taste and healthiness of mushrooms could you give us some input? Thank you!

[@collettemichaud1717]

Question. These, and many other mushrooms are like sponges, and hold a lot of water when found wild, or after being washed. I usually squeeze them between paper towels. I would assume by doing this, I am losing a lot of water soluble medicinal compounds. Your thoughts?

[@twolilfishies]

Thanks for great videos. 🤗 Its been raining 3 days here and i can feel that sun coming for us! The oyster is abundant here as well[Nova Scotia] Its so easy to identify its the first wild mushroom I found and ate[with a dog who loved them too and eats them right off the tree now if she finds them] Trying to explain sharing to her. Maybe she'll start to bark now when she finds them. Wait, is this foraging cheat 😆

Love your channel, so informative! Any good recommendations on field guides or books to help identify when out mushroom hunting? Want to start foraging, I just dont want to screw up miss identifying. Thank you.

[@cjd5255]

The best is really going in with someone who knows how to identify. My buddy owns an apothecary so I always ask him. I know they have a plant recognition app. Not sure if their is an app to help identify mushrooms. It's more about knowing when they grow, of there is a poison look alike that grows at same time. Or if oysters are in the spring ..the poisonous look alike grows in summer. Hope that helps a bit.

[@cjd5255]

If you've never foraged. It be best to start with plants. Chickweed, dead purple nettle, dandelions, cat ears, miners lettuce, creeping Charlie, violets, red clover etc are all growing right now on the North East coast

Hi Yarrow.. :) I'm revisiting this video because I'm ordering an oyster mushroom kit after watching this the first time gave me insight into just how medicinally useful this species is (as well as good eating :)).Is there any likelihood that the leftover kit contents, if sprinkled in a cool, filtered light area with logs, might contain spores which might decide to grow themselves??

Herbal Jedi's excellent channel discusses medicinal benefit first and foremost. I like this channel, but always cross reference, like I do with everything. If you want other mushroom info, including description and cautions, check out "Learn Your Land". That fellow is also a forager, and is very knowledgeable, especially about mushrooms. If you cross reference the channel name, and "Oyster mushroom", it'll come up. Good luck, I think you'll find what you're looking for.

@@An_inquisitive_thinker Actually it wouldn't. What's really starting to annoy me is that humanity is not acting like the keystone species I've finally realized we are. We know how to reverse desertification and the small portion of climate change we contribute to is also easily fixed and yet climate activists continue to whine about it. A small correction though. The US government has started a program to reverse desertification and citizens are actively participating in it now. The first person in Texas got the grant a few weeks ago is already starting his beaver project in his desert acreage.

@@saucywench9122 It's a long story but this climate change is natural, not human induced, it's that ruling parasites decided to hijack it for their personal purposes.
