Wild Mushroom Foraging- February 2023 Update

In this video, Aaron Hilliard, Mycologist and VP of his Local Mycological Society takes us on a journey into the forest of the PNW to learn about what is growing in Mushroom Wonderland here in the depths of winter. Tree and Mushroom ID, amazing photos, and even a bunch of tree identification happens in this video and a cool story about how to identify Douglas-Fir cones.

Thank you for labeling your trees and mushrooms in the video. Seeing the spelling and connecting it visually helps in memorizing them. Appreciate the tree identification. It’s always good to brush up on the habitat species too.

Thanks man. As a new mushroom enthusiast, (about 4 years now) I really appreciate the monthly updates for the mushrooms growing at the time. I'm in the northern PNW and have to travel for a couple hours to get to the honey spots of Mendocino. Maybe some time, you can shoot up our way and comb the sierras with us and teach what we really need to know. Thanks again brother, you in your own special way are helping keep us safe from the inevitable food shortages coming our way.

I want to do mushroom hunting too . But we dont have that here in the philipines. Anyway thanks for sharing

[@olallaeddy]

Looks like my Back Yard. I have found Salamander nest with several small females and one large male keeping eggs warm under the rotten wood piles left behind from years gone by. Not much sun here in Olalla Washington

[@chrisatkinson5495]

Also the scurfy twiglet is similar as well

[@dr2be50]

Thanks for all the videos! I’ve learned a lot from watching them. Growing my love for the mushies.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Awesome, glad you're here🤙🍄

[@nickwhite2569]

Another video calling me home to the beautiful forests of Washington. I can't wait to move back. Beautiful work, Aaron! Always looking forward to your videos!

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Hope you get back home soon! 🌲🍄🤙

[@chrisatkinson5495]

The Common Laccaria a species of Deceivers

[@ovangal3852]

QQQ - - @Mushroom Wonderland - Aaron - When you good out forging do you need to have a permit?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

No, generally not unless you're collecting enough to sell commercially. I think the general rule of thumb is 1 gallon per species to take home for personal use.

[@ovangal3852]

@Mushroom Wonderland Thanks for the info Aaron!!

[@ryanmarshall8758]

those are called hemfirs, duh...10:07 (carpenters will get it)

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I'm a carpenter, I get it! 🍄🙏

[@brianjanku4549]

I would have ate the good parts of that mushroom. The worms left plenty.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

It's in the fridge right now. I think I'm going to dehydrate it for soup stock

[@laurapfeifer749]

If Trump gets re-elected, hope he doesn’t have a new agency to SWEEP the forrest floor! Lol

[@Raymond-cy6dq]

He's going to need a bigger broom,

[@chrisatkinson5495]
