Wild Mushroom Identification- What's growing!? , October 2022

[@c0athanger]

The leaves above the purple mushroom... Look like they have faces!

[@daveh.4193]

Awesome someone else had the same thought I did! If you look at the leaf up and to the right of the obvious "face" leaf it looks like the frowny smiley mask combo. Lol

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Yeah that forest, just like a lot of the parks around here, are littered with leaves that people cut the faces out of. They're literally everywhere you look. I guess they have lost their luster to me.

[@c0athanger]

@@mushroomwonderland1 that's crazy cool! I live across the Sound from you... I'm gonna start paying more attention to the leaves instead of just the Fungi!

[@jedediah7772]

Right, lol, kinda like a Halloween mask

[@saraharrison8544]

Did anyone else see and wonder about the leaves with smiling faces at the left side of the frame around 30:49 or is my imagination just running wild?!? 😳🍂🍄 I am loving the videos. Learning so much!

[@Sean-West]

At 30:50 there are two big leaves in the bottom left that look like smiling faces. They even have eyebrows!

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Yeah somebody makes those and throws them everywhere in that forest. Good eye!

Really appreciate these regular update videos. As someone just starting to learn about mushrooms, this year has been challenging for trying to find things growing in the PNW and it's nice to have the perspective of knowing that it's not just me.

[@thebrodybiss1466]

Its gonna probably start to get a bit less challenging with this nice rain we just got.

[@nathanbrooks2757]

You have quickly become one of my favorite channels!

[@jodylarson]

Aaron!! I found my 1st chanterelles this week! Thank you for doing what you do-thanks to your videos I knew where to go near me and what to look for! I’m so excited!!! 🍄

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Awesome!! Now you're really hooked!🍄🤙

[@better.better]

I was not expecting to find spam bots on here. 🙄 reported them though. I think chanterelles are probably one of the best edible species to start with. they're so distinct with obviously unique features for identification. morels would be the other one.

[@bobthomas4651]

What a proper trail dog. Gunner poops off the trail. Good dog. I went up in the southern cascades in Oregon yesterday looking for chanterelle’s.lots of shrooms but no chanterelles. And the ground was frozen. Temp was about 34degress

[@mushroomwonderland1]

He is so good and polite that way. He really tries not to poop in his own yard, he waits until we go for a walk.

[@HeyRaeSunnyDay]

OMG, at the 29:30 mark there are 2 leaves that form the masks of Comedy & Tradgedy~right as you are talking about the Purple webcap!

[@tinrathso3997]

Yes there are 2masks leaves by at the purple mushroom

[@sopheap4177]

I so needed this video. We found out my mom is really sick so I haven't had an opportunity to get out much lately. Your videos are so therapeutic. Thank you Aaron!

[@mushroomwonderland1]

So sorry to hear that, glad you're here getting some relief!

[@Eliqueme]

Great video as always

[@ericstone5152]

The Violet Webcap was amazing, but I couldn't help staring at the two leaves that look like masks just above it!

[@chandracox6814]

Those were so cool! The mushroom was too but those looked like masks!

[@Jmfufghf]

Yeah they clearly looked like faces

[@Deleted-k9b]

They look like Korok masks! I’m glad others noticed too

[@chrisnchips5689]

I see happy faces on those leaves in the back at 29:29 lol

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Yes lots of comments about those! Somebody in that forest likes to make them. They make a lot of them, at a certain point it starts to look like litter! But it's fun that everybody is seeing them.

[@dirtdogb17]

Thank you Aaron for all you do. I love your channel ❤.

[@kwanyo]

Did anyone else catch the smiley face dead leaves next to the cortinarius violaceus (I think 29 minutes)? Great video btw!

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Lots of people did notice! They are all over in that forest. Good catch 🎭😅🍄

[@zachariahmiddleton5256]

Chanterelles are popping up farther south in the Coast Range of Oregon, too. Got a good haul of chanterelles and lobster mushrooms this weekend. Saw some oyster mushrooms and slippery jacks, too, but didn't collect them.

[@Eliqueme]

PNW is the only for me, WEST COAST BEST COAST 👌🏽

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I love living here but I wouldn't be mad about foraging mushrooms on the East Coast either 🤷

[@chandracox6814]

I miss living in WA State so much!!

[@daveh.4193]

Great to see videos done locally. Timing and habitat hints really help my wife and I know when and where to look. Wish we had your knowledge along for a walk with so many mushrooms we don't know

[@tiffanijones9064]

Anyone see faces in the leaves at 29:29??

[@jessebancroft832]

Great Video Aaron. Went out today for a bit north east of seattle. No chanterelles at 2700 or at 1500. Great weather for a hunt. Thanks Man.

I didn't do it, but yeah those leaves are Everywhere in that forest, almost like litter at a certain point. But they are fun and cool the first time you see them.

[@speakthetruth110]

Thanks again Aaron. I agree, this year is not so good. I pick north of Vancouver BC at higher mountain elevations, so the rains have come just before the freeze. Hopefully I will get lucky with a few Matsutake (Pines). By the way, I haven't checked into your channel for a while, and I must say this has to be the best produced video I have seen you post. Primo video ! Also the two Halloween leaf faces you placed on the ground beside the "Violet Webcap" at minutes 29:13 & 30:11 was a cool little trick, ya ? Or did you not notice them. I sure did ! They look pretty awesome. Or maybe it's the Hyphae screaming at you "We're here, We're here" . Desperately trying to communicate. Or it could be a new species of fungi called "Pareidolia" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia . Excellent video bro ! L8r. 🍄🚶‍♀🍄🚶‍♂🍄

Hey Aaron, I’m over in Snohomish county. Went out today and didn’t find very many fresh mushrooms except an absolutely massive hericium coralloides. Eating it for dinner as I watch your video🙏

[@Cococonutt]

That is an amazing find!! Especially in Snohomish county. I’ve only ever found them past central WA. Do you know the type of tree it was growing on?

[@carmelcameron1889]

How about "frangible" for the quality of Russula where they break crisply or with some kind of brittleness rather than weakness? Thanks for all the great info about ecology, habitat, the mushroom's place in the ecosystem. I learned a lot.

Wow! I absolutely love you vids. I've watched three now back to back. I've always just hunted oysters and chantrelles but found some lobsters and rutella today. I ddin't know much about them, so I looked up rutella and found you. What a find. You're super knowledgeable. Id love to go on a hunt with you. Do you ever offer that? If so, what is the best way to contact you?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

I don't offer foraging right now, unless you remember of Kitsap Peninsula mycological Society, and then I will lead a couple of forays for the members. And I volunteer sometimes but it's hit or miss. Maybe in the future all try to take more groups out into the woods. Just really busy right now. Thanks for watching the channel!

[@scottfletcher1956]

@@mushroomwonderland1 you def gotta do that Aaron. Not sure if you’d be into it or not. I’d be reluctant myself, there’s a lot of crazies out there. But maybe a full background check might be prudent 😂.

I did not, someone who frequents that trail makes hundreds of them.

[@SneakyFeet0925]

Hey there love your channel, thanks for all the knowledge bombs! I'm just North of you in Langley BC and my wife and I have just started mushroom hunting. The places we've been looking have a lot of blackberry bushes everywhere, almost carpeting the ground. I see where you're looking there doesn't seem to be any. Do blackberry bushes inhibit the growth of mushrooms? We haven't found any chanterelles yet but have found lung oysters a number of times. Thanks.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Habitats that support a lot of blackberry growth typically get too much sunlight for mushrooms to grow well. We definitely have areas that are covered in Himalayan and native blackberry but neither of them are good mushroom picking habitats. Glad you're here in mushroom wonderland! 🤙🤙🍄

Around minute 37:01 you pluck the Cortinarius violaceus. Am I crazy or are there two smiling leaves to the left of the shroom?

[@orangechairamy]

Sorry minute 30:10

[@mushroomwonderland1]

There definitely is, there is someone who walks these trails often and is always making the leaf faces. There are so many of them that honestly I don't even really notice them anymore, and they start to resemble litter to me. Kind of like when someone upturns all the mushrooms they see next to the trail. It starts to look trashy and I prefer to have nature look a little more..umm..well..natural. Haha.

[@trucid2]

That rosecomb mutation really makes the chanterelles hard to clean.

30:09 So no one is going to notice those TWO LEAVES WITH FACES? It looks convincingly created on purpose. What do you guys think? EDIT* I did read the comment where you say ppl make them and leave them everywhere.

[@better.better]

does someone make a field ruler that has a color calibration strip printed onto it? I used to print one on an index card to carry around for photography. I could use the full backside of the card as a fill-light reflector, and use the side with the color calibration to set my white point, alter the color balance to simulate gel filter effects, or show scale. also I could put it someplace in the scene intended to be cropped out to give myself something to adjust color by during editing. the problem with using an index card is that it's not pure white, which meant (using inkjet) that the color patches weren't accurate either, but it was pretty close. for scientific purposes though you'd want it as close as possible

[@jeffknight2907]

Is it possible to grow saplings indoors to use to grow mycorrhizal mushrooms?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

It has been tried in countless experiments around the world and over the past several decades and with very little success. The relationship is still quite a mystery. Even if you successfully inoculated the tree roots with a fungi and waited long enough for the tree and mycelium to become mature, there is still no guarantee you'll get fruiting bodies!

I’m hoping it is a wavy caps as it looks a lot like the way we cap but it does not blue when touched. Can you help me identify this please? It is not typically grown in my area however I am in a very unique area that mimics the northwest rainforest. I am located in Rabun County Georgia and then our specific place it is said to be the second highest rainfall area in the United States second only to the area that you are in in the northwest. Is it possible this could be a wavy caps?

What parks besides banner and Jackson in the area do you suggest?

All of the state parks are good. And if you go a little further out the skokomish area near browns Creek is good, and of course the Olympic Foothills near Lake Cushman and stuff.
