[@gregcale5388]

It's so great to have such a good communicator about nature working here in our own bioregion, your channel is really the best!

[@matthunt4550]

I would add that the Elm tree bark is soft like a cork. Push your thumb into the bark and it is softer than expected like a cork.

[@ofunnaturalbirth]

Thanks for the video, Adam. I have been searching all over the upper peninsula of Michigan for these mushrooms. They have been illusive for me, however, I was able to find a smaller Elm tree loaded with them!

I have found some Enoki mushrooms. It has been very warm and rainy in Georgia, so we still have some Galerina around. But I did a spore print because I noticed the difference in colors of the Enoke. They are smaller than I thought they would be.

Found my first maitaki hen of the woods this year only a few days after watching your vids. I was out hunting whitetail deer near a creek bed in the North East and found them on a dead white oak. Any other time I would've moved on without thinking twice. But this time, instead of coming home empty handed - as many deer hunts end - I came home with five pounds of the most delicious, choice edible mushroom I'd ever tasted. Even preferable to puffball (in terms of taste) or morel (in terms of weight). Thanks again Adam.

[@jacobcoleman1492]

Thanks Adam, just the video I’ve been waiting for. I definitely need to spend more time teaching myself to notice and identify the characteristics of elm trees you listed because like you said not only will I probably find more enoki, I might also be rewarded this spring with delicious morels.

I have a few field guides- All that the rain promises, and Great lakes region edible mushrooms field guides. Then mushrooms demystified. I've been watching your videos and learning lots. Thank you for posting all this info about different fungus and plants!

[@colleensorganicsunshine5022]

Found a cluster of these last week and set it down so that I could pick it up on my way back. Turns out we took a different path back. I don't make it out in the woods on days I have to work, but this video and the one from 2 years ago have completely inspired me to get out there today--right now-- to look for more, plus I'll be scouting out areas for my spring morel spots. Thank you Adam!

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

It sounds like hunting enoki mushrooms is good pre season scouting for morel habitat.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Hey Adam, could you discuss why grown Enoki look so much different than wild ones sometime please. Thank you.

[@sjisx]

I'd imagine it's either growing conditions (low light) or a different strain

[@kaorumugen991]

Wild Enoki have an abundance of light and oxygen, while cultivated ones are grown in dark, high CO2 environments.

[@trashcat3000]

They are also cultivated in narrow containers allowing smaller taller fruitings

Love your videos! You’re so down to earth and personable while still being factual and scientific-in a perfect blend! Never condescending or arrogant, though it’s obvious you know your material well. Audio and video is always excellent, and I love that you never waste my time! That said, I have a question. Being brand new to mushroom hunting I bought a couple newbie books, and one of them said-with no other explanation-“never take mushrooms with gills!” Can you give me any feedback on that?

[@dawsonhewlett1919]

There’s an elm in my backyard that grows enokis at the base. Not many, only a couple small clusters but it is still really cool to have this mushroom in my own backyard!

Excellent Adam. Missed seeing you at the festival in Prairie du Chein I have a Basswood in the back yard that has been covered enoki during the Fall and until heavy freeze up here in WI.

I finally found the amber jelly rolls today growing near some witches butter today. No enoki so far. Thanks for the intro. Doing my due diligence so I can find the enoki safely! Thank you so much Adam, now I can look for something other than winter oysters which are tapering off in my favorite spots.

[@rideswithscissors]

These pop up in my yard once in awhile, and I have eaten them. The cap on one specimen was nearly four inches wide. I keep some dried specimens gathered from a nearby wooded area in a jar on my curio shelf. I think they are easily identified, the ring on the Galierina is a _dead_ giveaway.

[@alexis-zt6xd]

Hoping for a new video soon, this weather has been crazy and I’m not sure where/when to start going for walks. And what I’m going to find this time of year. Your videos are truly a great help along with the many field guides and websites I’ve been reading.

Outstanding young man! When I was much younger I was very similar to you! You need to write a book! There is only a small percentage that will want it or read it, but for future readers I think its a win! For me looking for Morels was to know an Elm area, but look for the spring Oak leaves to be about the size of squirrels ears, then hunt them! Great video! I look very forward to more! ( There is still a lot of Sam Gribley's out there!)

[@garrettkittel304]

Some excited! Found some in Michigan!!! Old growth forests

[@EagleJim62]

I found a nice cluster of Enoki last week on a dead Tree of Heaven in Berks County PA. Unfortunately I rarely find dead elm trees or decent sized elms in my area for that matter. I need to find the elms for the upcoming morel season. Very informative video, as usual, Adam.

[@mahoneymanbarry]

Nice video, really enjoy your presentation. I have found it recently on gorse bushes a few times and wood stumps. In Ireland we generally fry all mushrooms in butter, add salt and eat. I find it a tasty mushroom.

The key to finding any mushroom is target the trees or substrate they associate with. Second most important in my opinion is figuring out what Temps they typically fruit at.

[@briangable08]

Here in the UK we have lost our Elms to Dutch Elm Disease, but I know they sprout from the bases of dead elms, until they reach about 4" then they are attacked again by the beetle that causes the fungus that kills the tree, will I be able to find Enoki in the mild UK winters? I love your videos Adam thank you.

[@Girlamdin]

Hi Adam! I loved this clip and found the identifying aspects very helpful. I’m wondering if there has been any studies, that you know of, with elms that have Dutch Elm Disease and enoki mushrooms. I’m wondering if they still grow symbiotic with them if they are infected and if so, does that change anything with their edibility. Any information would be great!

[@lilolmecj]

Interesting, I found a false Morel mushroom last week, so probably December 1, in the Pacific Northwest. I never noticed one, but they really are very distinctly different. What I am learning is you basically have to walk through an area every day if you want to discover all the fungi. At least in an area that has 5 days out of 7 of rain. Only in the autumn and winter and part of spring though. Our summers are actually quite dry.

[@vcat417]

Excellent, informative video as always!❤. I would have added at least one more key identifying feature of Enoki mushrooms…9. Stipe(stem) turning from creamy white at the cap to dark, velvety brown towards the base, hence the common name: velvet foot or velvet shank.
