So much better than grocery store mushrooms! - Wild Meadow Mushrooms

[@kimkayoda7454]

One day I hope to find those!

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Wow!! Thanks for your generous support for my channel, @kimkayoda! That's unexpected but very much appreciated! I hope you find some of these edible Meadow mushrooms, too. There are other Agaricus species that can look similar and not be good to eat, but it's worth learning the difference. They are out there, waiting for you! :D

Glad you put out another great video.... Thanks Holly....❤

[@HaphazardHomestead]

You're welcome, @dewyouknowHIM. These are such great mushrooms. I'm fortunate they grow in my own backyard!

I miss your video ❤ Thank you for sharing. 👍🏼

I always was told and read that if the cap was attached to the stem, leave them alone.

[@kleineroteHex]

This tastes good just looking❤

[@HaphazardHomestead]

For a sloppy omelet, it turned out looking pretty good! And it was delicious. That mushroom mix with the parsley and Elephant Garlic was hard to not eat right away, lol. It's great on its own. Thanks for watching and commenting, @kleineroteHex!

[@cynthiacollins2668]

It wouldn't let me comment other than as a reply... Anyway, I finally discovered Meadow Mushrooms last year. I totally agree, they are wonderful, just like store-bought... but BETTER

[@forestgyrl]

Great video ❤❤

[@HaphazardHomestead]

THanks, @forestgyrl! I'm thinking my backyard Meadow mushrooms will turn out to be Agaricus porphyrocephalus pallidus (a subspecies!). But it will take mycology experts to analyze more DNA and make new identification keys before it will be clear to anybody. I'm just happy they grow in my backyard! Happy mushroom hunting!

Hi, Holly, this is a timely mushroom video! It's a good season to find nature's little flavor bombs, and you're lucky to have them growing in your grass. Lots of excellent description and advice for your viewers. 'Tis the season here in France, too. We just had our association's annual Mushroom Expo in Saumur, with nearly 250 varieties inventoried. (There's an old video on YT - search " expo champignon saumur chapelle st jean.") On the following weekends will be two other village shows nearby, for which my mentor Jean-Luc and I volunteer to help identify the public's finds.

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Very cool, @chezmoi, that you have great mushroom events in your area! It's amazing how many different kinds of mushrooms there are! For so many years, the only Agaricus I had in my yard was the A. xanthodemus, part of the "Lose Your Lunch Bunch". But since I started making videos, these A. campestris group mushrooms have been popping up sometimes. I feel lucky! Happy mushroom hunting!

[@thegadgetrulez]

Mmmm, looks so good! Hope all is well!! :)

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

I live in the Willamette valley too and unfortunately, see the poisonous xanthaderm look alikes far more than meadow mushers. It's nice to find a true meadow mushroom occasionally. They taste great 😃

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@anthonyburdine1061]

When I was taught about these the common name was " Pinkys " 😊

[@deborahsturm2289]

I'm so jealous, Holly!! It has been so dry this summer and fall in West Virginia that mushrooms on the ground are few and far between. I found a bunch of meadow mushrooms last year, and they were so good!! I did find a huge puffball in Beckley recently, however.

[@kimberlylamantia7794]

Great video! I definitely need to get a few books so I can identify mushrooms with confidence 😊

[@stephanie53127]

Thank you for shareing your knowledge with us love your videos ❤

[@AnnsTinyLife]

Aaaaaaccccckkkk!!!!? Holly I've had these growing on my property for years and I tossed them because I thought they were poisonous!!!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!! 😂

[@AnnsTinyLife]

Ps love your videos. Your speaking voice is very comforting.

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

They may have been poisonous. There's a meadow mushroom look-alike called agaricus xanthaderm that in my experience, is far more common. Luckily you can tell it apart by cutting into them and seeing if they stain bright yellow immediately. There's some poison amanita look-alikes as well, and they're easily identifiable by white or grey gills. Stay safe.

[@AnnsTinyLife]

​@@MetalSlugzMaster Yeah, I guess I figured I'd be safe than sorry. Next time I'll bruise the flesh and do a spore print. Thanks for the info!

[@patrickwhittington]

Every time I look this mushroom up I always come up with the horse mushroom what's the difference

[@HaphazardHomestead]

The Horse mushroom (Agaricus arvensis) is a big, solid mushroom. Its stalk is not fragile, and the ring is persistent in hanging down from the stalk like a skirt. And they smell like almonds more than like a store-bought button mushroom. The lower part of the stalk, from the ring on down, is usually rough, too. There are so many Agaricus mushrooms, and some of them are hard to tell apart from other ones, for sure! Hope that helps. Happy mushroom hunting!

[@patrickwhittington]

Is the horse mushroom good

[@mayamachine]

Ok I love meadow mushrooms! use caution, I found a huge clutch of meadow mushrooms in Washington state.. I was overwhelmed with joy.. I began picking crazy.. not attentive... 4 grocery bags full.. I set them all out on cardboard to dry them and get a spore print... then I saw in the spore prints ,, I'd also picked destroying angles, deadly hidden in the clutch.. I threw everything out to compost... spore printing saved my life and my wife's..

[@daniellegorbett9371]

Is there a way to "replant" these for an even greater harvest? Like could you grind one mushroom into a powder and rebury it and get more mushrooms from that potentially?

[@5wisebannerguys]

I found this mushroom in my yard everything seems to fit the description except when I took them home to wash the pink gills bed pink. IS THIS OK?

[@kathyanderson6946]

The simple answer to this is that you can't tell the difference without identifying the individual mushroom you have found. Some poisonous mushrooms can kill so… Source: Wild Food UK Make sure you know what youre picking
