Wild Mushrooms of Early Autumn 2024

[@brytonkenney1507]

taking my first fungus course this year already been called the mushroom man around campus. Thanks for all your videos you have taught me and others so much

Your editing makes your finds appear so continuous, really great job as always bro.

I haven't been able to go shrooming lately. Your videos are terrificly tortuous. LOL

Another awesome learning vidio Thanks Gunner !!!

36:50 I think these are referred to as X. diffractus in the USA now. According to the mykoweb page for X. diffractus, "Until recent work by Frank et al., this species was known as Xerocomellus chrysenteron, a morphologically similar, but genetically distinct species that appears to be restriced to Europe." I think the two species we have here that look like this are X. diffractus and X. mendocinensis with the differences being the color of the cracks and how quickly they stain blue. Would love to learn more if thats not correct though.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@weloveturtlessomuch4240 some people would definitely say that, I always kind of associated diffractus with spring, but I was recently told it can fruit in fall also. They also can look so similar, variations in the bluing between Mendocinoensis and diffractus is variable so that's not a real consistent key. So I just kind of used the old generic name because I'm really not too sure on this particular one hahaha, good call though!

My areas getting tons of rain right now and im going mushroom hunting on monday! This video has me super excited to go see what i can find, i really wanna find my first real chanterelle or oyster mushroom!

Unfortunately, here in Southern New England We've only had one significant rain in the last 4 or 5 weeks and so the mushroom picking is almost non-existent. We're expected to get 1 or 2 courses of showers in the next week or so but it doesn't look like it's going to amount to much......although I did find my very first, *small*, hen of the woods in a boggy area last week.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@goodun2974 Sorry to hear that. The rain is coming!

[@dcfromthev]

Here in Northern California it hasn’t even rained once, instead it’s been in the mid to high 90’s for the whole last week. Climate change is no joke it’s so hot here these days.

[@baldknobfarmstead5167]

We just found Hypomyces lateritius yesterday. Milky Caps host and can't wait to try them. Tons of Russula Brevipes but no Lobsters. Slate Peak Wa. Thanks for your videos!

[@stingingmetal9648]

I just found that too. Had an Indigo Milkcap and another one beside it with no gills. Found out it was Hypomyces lateritius. Cheers

[@kimprocarione5473]

Awesomeness!! Another great video of information and inspiration! I can't afford the Magic Mind, or I would definitely try it! I've heard a lot about the benefits of lions mane being super helpful to the memory. I understand that the benefits stop when you stop taking lions mane, as in it isn't a permanent cure. But it's still worth it when you can get it! Caffeine isn't a permanent cure for fatigue 😅

Tried the green Russulas this year in Colorado… they are a choice edible! Great texture! 🤙🏼

[@KokoraLife]

So inspirational!

[@SumediMartoutomo-gq7zu]

Wow, great job Sir

[@melhesz]

Love the vids, keep it up! One minor correction: Amanita augusta is considered toxic, SVIMS' mycologists strongly suggest it's not edible. Why? This mushroom is known to be an accumulator of heavy metals such as zinc, copper, lead, and others found in soil.

[@ElijahBishop-bx5te]

What degrees do you have /how long have you been researching mushrooms?

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@ElijahBishop-bx5te I have been foraging and learning about mushrooms for about 28 years, I don't have any formal degrees. Just an amateur mycologist. Over the past 7 years I have really dedicated myself to the mycological Society, to learning microscopy, listening to every lecture and podcast possible. Reading all the field guides I can get my hands on, being an avid user of iNaturalist, attending fungi-centric events regularly. This is one of the sciences you can learn and become proficient without a degree.

[@paygeprater418]

I am using a bachelors in plant biology to go towards mycology personally

[@heartartichoke]

I’m so jealous you found so many chanterelles!! I’m sorry they upset your stomach now. I spent 4 hours hiking around Tiger mountain on the Railroad trail and couldn’t find a single one. Are you able to tell me which park(s) you go to to find them?

[@Mr_CGS]

Just found a bunch of mastukes in the Olympic mountains a couple days ago.

[@jasongarcia2140]

New fruiting bodies grow from cyan-essence stumps, too!

[@joepodunk284]

Hi Aaron, I want to thank You! You and "Dadventure" (another channel who picks here in the Oregon cascades)have helped me and my buds identify more edibles than we used to only pick ie, morels,chantrelles and some shaggy manes. We've been finding Lobster,beletes, shrimp rasulas(forgive the spelling,😂) we recently identified the short stemmed rasulas that become lobster (i believe) but didn't pick them, they hadn't been parasatised yet? Gotem marked on the ole GPS though!! We found what we think was king beletes but the underside of the cap, when scratched, turned instantly blue! As if we had blue ink coming out of our finger's?? Not being sure we didn't harvest. Sorry for being so long in the tooth but just wanted to thank you and ask could you let us know what elevations your picking on each of your vids? With the same time of year here in Oregon we find that knowing elevations really help. Thank You, Doug

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@joepodunk284 Thanks Doug. You have a King Bolete does not stain blue, several other species do though. Russula brevipes Is it good indicator but there is definitely no guarantee that it will become parasitized. But that kind of habitat is where you might come across lobster mushrooms so check back for sure and look around more in that area. They like to hide in the duff and just show a small peak of orange. Most of these foraging videos are shot right around sea level, unless I say otherwise. Once in awhile I head to the mountains - and I make that pretty obvious. But my regular stomping grounds, mushroom Wonderland as it were, is anywhere from sea level to 500 ft.
