Where to Find CHANTERELLES - How to Identify Wild Mushrooms - Early FALL 2021 FORAGING!

[@Angela-un2tx]

Where every orange leaf looks like a mushroom 😂😂😂😂💥💯💥

[@joshcurrier715]

"Where every orange leaf looks like a mushroom" I feel that.

[@FishandForage]

Also relevant for pinecones and morels in the spring...

[@hucknbarry3496]

@@FishandForage haha, I was thinkin the same thing, my eyes go buggy in pine cone infested areas looking for morels b

[@joshuaatkins5197]

The struggle is real! I both love and hate the falling leaves.

[@lindayoung2959]

When washing off the mushrooms, first, dip it in a bowl of purified water. As soon as possible, take the spoor water and spread in the forest. I have button mushrooms on my property. I do this and now they are everywhere!! ❤ I also have a lot of horse dung. They groe on that.

[@MrBiloxifireman]

Great idea 💡 👍

[@SkyfallLotus]

Just found your channel - awesome video! We were just out in the mountains, but came up empty handed. It's so dry here! Fingers crossed for more rain. Thank you for sharing these tips and your adventure - looking forward to more of your videos. Subbed! PS. FOR THE HORDE! (reference to shirt pic in last 5 minutes).

[@FishandForage]

I see some rain in the forecast near me at least! I think it's going to be NUTS after that! LOK'TAR OGAR! :D

[@AdventuresWest]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for the information. I just moved my family to Longview for work and we’ve been out twice, once East and once West for Chanterelles. We’ve got a goose egg both times, but had a lot of fun. We’re gonna keep after it and I’m sure reap some eats soon.

[@FishandForage]

I'd definitely hit the coast range right now! I went out one evening a few days ago and they are definitely around!

[@julianmarsh2758]

Thanks so much for this, very, very informative a easy to watch.....love from England.

[@seandepoppe6716]

Thank you, I'm looking forward to the 2022 season here in Whatcom County.

[@NemesisPDX]

Thanks for this 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Cococonutt]

Wow! Beautiful and early. About 2 more weeks and I’ll start checking my spots. I’m so excited for this season :)

[@FishandForage]

Yes! We were very surprised how many we found. Since it's been so dry and warm, we didn't expect much!

[@seangriffiths9163]

Great video. also great tip you shared about stopping and turning around. I often do this as party of my hunting routine, A few months back i was walking in thicker undergrowth and when i turned around and stopped i spotted a very tall young Bolete right next to my fresh boot print and couldnt believe i had missed it. so took a look on one knee and found a large patch i have never notice or found in that location before. now im almost crawling when mushroom hunting lol

[@FishandForage]

Oh yeah there are definitely days where I'm rooting around underneath fern bushes and belly crawling around to find nearby shrooms! Those are always the best days ;)

[@kassiesmall3823]

This is so cool! I've tried to find some this year but no luck yet. Going to look in the Olympic national forest next.

[@atlantabirdgang]

great vid thanks

[@hucknbarry3496]

Oh man those Chantelles look delicious

[@FishandForage]

They were amazing! Very clean and fresh, albiet a bit dry, which doesn't matter after cooking it anyway!

[@OregonReelFishing]

Sweet video! Might have to drive up your way for a little foraging one of these days

[@FishandForage]

Let me know when! I'd be happy to teach you the ropes

[@foleydave26]

Nice job buddy. I love picking wild mushrooms and cloning them. Wish I could grow chants but those cant be grown without the tree. Nice video buddy.

[@FishandForage]

Oh man it'd be great to cultivate chants. Though part of the fun is stomping around the forest hunting for them :)

[@blacknatsu6623]

I leave shit lying around all the time. I started painting my knife handles with reflective paint just like the backs of my arrows. It’s seemed to help me!!

[@FishandForage]

That's not a bad idea lol

[@guns4liberty]

very informative thank you

[@FishandForage]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@deathmaker2088]

first view Buddy!

[@lucyb15]

In the spirit of helping people - Dryad's saddle does not have gills, it's a polypore.

[@FishandForage]

Good info! I am admittedly not very familiar with that species, so it was a hunch at best! :)

[@JSlippy]

Good Video, Thanks! Is that a Benchmade Recon Tanto? Used to have that, very nice blade, although I have switched to a Bugout for my EDC. Here's to another year of success!

[@FishandForage]

No, it's an older Osborne design. But Benchmade in general is great! Good luck out there!

[@JSlippy]

@@FishandForage lol I meant barrage tanto, I'd recognize it anywhere. Pretty sure "recon" is an old school cold steel model. But that is definitely not an Osborne. Not that it matters, as long as it cuts right? Thanks again for the vid mate!

[@FishandForage]

@@JSlippy yeah I think I got it 5 or 6 years ago now. Crazy how tine flies!

[@JSlippy]

@@FishandForage Totally, and its juts a moment for a well made knife! There's a lesson in there somewhere lol

[@duckshaker]

Those are some really nice early Chanterelles! I don' think those were Pine trees you were picking in...they looked more like Hemlocks or Fir. I've never washed Chanterelles, and yours looked so nice they really didn't need it!

[@FishandForage]

Yeah I'll often just brush them off and do a quick rinse! Some of them grow up under moss or roots and can get some dirt really stuck on em, so I'll wash those a bit more. And I am admittedly not very great at tree identification yet. Been trying to get better, though.

[@duckshaker]

@@FishandForage You're doing a great job...keep the videos coming.

[@soulseeker42388]

they are almost always found around Harwood trees. so a hardwood forest is a great place to start

[@mcirish6870]

Awesome video! Those were not dryads saddle, polyplorus squamosus btw, they have pore gills not true gills :) happy hunting!

[@FishandForage]

Nice thanks for the info! I totally admit that I am much more familiar with the common Foolproof Four than many other types of mushrooms! :)

[@lindayoung2959]

I've been sidetracked by many a orange leaf!

[@scottoliver7288]

not seen any this year atol maybe i was too late scotish weather aswell

[@FishandForage]

It's been extra dry around here. I bet the first rain makes them explode, though!

[@jasonmitchell399]

Hey that looks like my spot🤣🤣 happy hunting.

[@FishandForage]

Oh man if it is the same spot, I'm sure there will be enough to go around if it's anything like last year!

[@jasonmitchell399]

Absolutely awesome last year, I picked my biggest ever and I don’t think there was a bad spot.

[@sharonhayes7625]

Excellent mushroom hunting advice thank you! But turn off the water faucet for gosh sake’s we are in a drought!

[@FishandForage]

Luckily we aren't in any water shortage alerts or anything where I'm at! We have some pretty crazy aquifers in SW WA. But for sure don't waste water if you're in a drought!

[@johnbolton9957]

Check the laws!!! Permits are required almost EVERYWHERE... Even for personaluse!!! They are Highly regulated with lots of laws!

[@Nitzbenyk]

To pick mushrooms?? Come to Canada... don't need shit.

[@jennesont4791]

Do chanterelles ever NOT smell fruity?

[@winromeo]

I live in Vancouver BC and we just had a rain storm last week. Is it too late and too wet to pick and find these beauties?

[@FishandForage]

They'll be around until the first hard freeze! And sometimes you can even find them a bit afterwards

[@OregrownianLiving]

Nice video do you happen to know any good spots near Eugene ?

[@FishandForage]

Honestly I'd either head east to the Cascades or west to the forests along the coast range. They should be thick in either of those places! Just try to find a logging road on some public land and go exploring!

[@OregrownianLiving]

@@FishandForage thank you for the reply went down by cottage grove today towards dorena no luck unfortunately lots of various mushrooms though

[@FishandForage]

@@OregrownianLiving It took me a year of skunking and another year of barely finding any before I found some honey-holes :) But once you find that first spot, it feels like it all falls into place and you can jet up to any hills and find some when the season is on!

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

-Where to find chanterelles? -Forests. -What kind of... -FORESTS! -Ok. King of the mushrooms (IMO). Grow almost anywhere (Norther hemisphere) and is golden (close) color. Mild taste, very strong unique flavour.

[@FishandForage]

Yeah it took a while to find our first chanterelles, but now it feels like we can walk into most any wooded area and come out with a good haul anymore lol

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

I don’t know much about mushrooms, but I assume just like everything else, there’s a size slot limit and you can harvest hatchery stem clipped only. 😁

[@FishandForage]

LOL Yeah and it's crazy how many people mix up SILVER Chanterelles with KING Chanterelles. Total noobs!

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

@@FishandForage 😂

[@juniper1982]

Which trees do they grow with on west coast

[@FishandForage]

I've found them in several forest types, but evergreen firs seem to be the most productive! Funny enough, some of the best spots in fir forests are near deciduous trees among the fallen leaves for some reason!

[@JoyGodis]

Where are some good locations in the PNW to forage for these?? Planning to go out this weekend and am in the Seattle area… Thank you!!

[@FishandForage]

I'd stick to any public land on the coast range right now. When the temps drop and more rain comes, the Cascades should start to get good, too! Find your nearest national or state park in the hills and go explore!

[@djmtexas]

What trees are they growing by?

[@FishandForage]

I've found them around fir and pine!

[@cohomesource]

Nice! Where did you find those?

[@FishandForage]

Up on the coast range in Oregon! I'd try the national or state parks. :)

[@SiDung-qg7rn]

@@FishandForage Hi, do you know if these mushrooms exist at around the SF Bay Area? Or how far away must one travel to get to them? Thanks

[@FishandForage]

@@SiDung-qg7rn I'm not sure down there! It's definitely late for them up in the pnw. But I know the Bay area is more mild, so you could have luck! Worst case scenario you enjoy a nice hike in the woods :)

[@corvo9249]

I've been finding lots of Golden Chanterelles around 50ft - 100ft elevation where I live, so I don't think 700ft is a necessity.

[@FishandForage]

Wow i've never found them so low! But I also generally stick to the hills, anyway. Can't wait for this season :)

[@andrefecteau]

"chantrelles never grow on wood"...typically alone, have the stem like he shows, string cheese inside...otherwise could be "jack o lantern"...deadly/sick

[@sitka15]

In my experience they are really over rated as a culinery adventure. I certainly would give them a miss having tried them a couple of times

[@FishandForage]

Aw yeah, more for the rest of us! ;) What wild mushrooms do you prefer?

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Over rated? How can you overrate something that is beyond the chart at the start?

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Why did you go hunting mushrooms without a brush? 16:28 Don't say you're going to wash them? You did. :/ Sometimes there are maggots in chanterelles, but that usually happens to old mushrooms in late season when it is bad mushroom year. That is just pure protein.

[@FishandForage]

After we moved, I lost my brush! I just recently found it again.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

@@FishandForage Fair enough.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

3:24 Just pick it. Cutting is urban legend. It does not make any difference. 98% of the mushroom is under the soil.

[@FishandForage]

Yeah main reason I cut is to avoid the worst of the dirt on the stems!

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

@@FishandForage You have a knife, so use it and cut the dirt part off. ;)

[@FishandForage]

@@XtreeM_FaiL 🤣tru!

[@blackfam972]

Those aren't pines
