Yes, that was my first stop looking for mushrooms. I crossed the boarder briefly to search that area before I headed down into the heart of Oregon. To be clear, there is not anything special about Carson in terms of mushrooms. That area was fantastic, but you could find them just about anywhere in the area. I think I found fun mushrooms at every stop I made in the Carson area and also throughout Oregon, except for my last stop on the east side of the cascades. But yes, Carson Wa area. What I did is I looked for heavily wooded areas, and then I would drive up old forest roads. But also found them right off main roads in the forest.

Thank you Bryton. I appreciate you jumping on to comment on that! Here in Utah we call a specific peziza mushroom a Pig's Ear mushroom, but I do see that in the PNW they call the purple chanterelle a Pigs Ear. I did a little research on it, and it is an edible (allergic to some people), and it was moved out of the Chanterelle family and is now called Gomphus Clavatus (scientific name). Thank you very much for your comment and input.

Thank you Mike, I appreciate you jumping in to help with that bolete. Yes, that does look like the right mushroom!! That was a fun mushroom. They don't have those in Utah, and that was the first I had ever found of that kind. thank you for your comment!!

That is good to know. I didn't know that, so at the very least I was in a generally good area for the Matsutake. Thank you for that feedback.

Thank you Xiangjunfu4512. Here in Utah we call a specific peziza mushroom a Pig's Ear mushroom, but I do see that in the PNW they call the purple chanterelle a Pigs Ear, and you are correct that it is a good one. I did a little research on it, and it is an edible (allergic to some people), and it was moved out of the Chanterelle family and is now called Gomphus Clavatus. Thank you very much for your comment and input.

Thank you for watching

David Arora has a great video of preparing and sharing them with friends. It's titled I ate Amanita Muscaria with David Arora.... Fun stuff I'm loving learning about all these fun shrooms... Those ones on the trees I think I posted on Utah mushrooms that bleed.. Fun times and thank you for sharing....

Yeah, I have Zero interest in eating Amanita Muscaria!! And I don't want to encourage anyone to eat them. First off because they are technically illegal to possess in many (if not most) states! And they can kill you if you eat too much. They are a psychedelic that can give you a very very bad trip as well if you are not careful, and I don't wish that on anyone. So if anyone does try it, I want to be clear that they do it at their own risk!! They have to be prepared very carefully to be eaten as a culinary mushroom, and it is certainly more work than I am willing to do!! Especially with so many wonderful edibles I find that are choice edibles, and can be eaten without processing!! I find way more choice edibles than I can eat as it is!! Honestly, they are not worth it in my opinion!! I leave them alone! Thank you Carey for your response. For those of you that do use them, I certainly don't judge them!! That is what is beautiful about this life!! We all get to make our own decisions!!

Everything is edible once....

Yes, I did!! That is one of my flaws in life. I mix up my words way more than I mean to!!

@@UtahMushroomHunter Your fine brother !!

Ahh, yes!! I had another viewer call it Pig's Ear, which I call a different mushroom!! Thank you Carey!!

Yes, it is!! It is so much fun!!

Thank you. At what minute mark are you referring to? I probably did miss something.

Ahh, yes, I see what you are referring to!! Here in Utah we call a specific peziza mushroom a Pig's Ear mushroom, but I do see that in the PNW they call the purple chanterelle a Pigs Ear. I did a little research on it, and it is an edible (allergic to some people), and it was moved out of the Chanterelle family and is now called Gomphus Clavatus. Thank you very much for your comment and input @bich-vanle. The PNW has so many more mushrooms that we do in Utah!! It was a fun hunt!!

What elevation where you at? Also, what area where you searching? Perhaps I can give you some feedback. We are also getting very late in the year, and they are getting harder to find. They will all be gone very soon (other than the cold weather varieties).

Great to hear!! There are some great areas to hunt in the eastern Uintahs for sure!!

Thank you for reaching out. I do often take people with me on my hunts. I am pretty much done for the year with the cool weather coming. Send me a text to 801-787-5866 with your name, and mention that you live in Utah County, and I will get you on one of my future hunts.

Yeah, it was a fun hunt for sure!!

We've found a number of them in various places up there right on the road shoulder too. Crazy.

We didn't find any Chanterelles on this trip. I was really hoping for them, but never did find them on this trip. Yes, we were on Red Cloud Loop, right at the top looking in areas at 9,000 ft and higher.

Yeah, there were so many to be found up there. We found 6 to 8 of them literally right along the road. It truly was crazy!! That is such a fun area to hunt!!

I prefer them cooked in butter, salt, pepper, and garlic. But they are great in stroganoff, and they are really yummie breaded and fried as well!!

@@UtahMushroomHunter thank you!! Definitely gonna try the stroganoff!

I will still get you out on a mushroom hunt too!! Not sure if it will be this year or next, but I will get you out on one eventually!!

Me and my girlfriend are looking forward to it! We are in no rush if it's this year or next year, we will be ready! Thank you in advance! 🙏

Yeah, it was a fun hunt. My best King Mushroom hunt this year. Honestly, it pales compared to my hunts last year though!! Last year was insane!!

I am glad we got to do it. So glad you were there!!

LOL!!

Thanks 👍

Hello Angelo!! Thank you for hunting with us on that day. I wish you could have stayed the whole time, but it was great having you with us when we had you!! We are getting late in the year, but there may be some up there still, so it is worth a shot for sure!! Text me your info to 801-787-5866 and perhaps I can get you on a future hunt again.

Hello Shandon. What elevation were you at? The key is to get at about 9,000 ft and above in heavily wooded areas that is flat to north facing. At least a couple weeks to three weeks of good precipitation is needed as well to get them to pop. You can find them lower than 9,000 ft, especially the Boletus Barrowsii, but your chances of finding them increase significantly (at least here in Utah) once you get to 9,000 ft and above.

@@UtahMushroomHunter Around 9,000 to 10,000 feet. I just need to go out and explore more. Just a bit hard with school and work😂. I was mainly on a east facing slope though. Can you explain to me the importance of a north facing slope?

You bet. North facing slopes hold the most moisture because of the sun's angle to the ground. Therefore we find the most mushrooms on north facing slopes. But I have done very well on north East slopes as well. If there has been enough consistent rain and all slopes are consistently staying moist, then you will find them on all slopes. It is all about moisture retention. This year we didn't have near as much consistent moisture during our summer as last year. Last year I found them all over the mountains. But this year I did have to focus on flat to North or North East slopes, especially to find the Kings.

It is very close. Perhaps not quite yet. It takes a few consistent days of freezing to effectively end the season, so there may be some pockets out there still with mushrooms.

Yeah, it was a fun hunt, but my next video is even better!!

​@@UtahMushroomHunterlooking forward to it. Went out to the Uintas last Thursday but no luck. Inspired to try the Wasatch after watching this.

Thank you!! It was a fun hunt!!

Yes, for sure, but you have to get into the higher elevations. The Dixie forest is a great place to look. Just be sure you hunt in areas at or above 9,000 Ft in elevation, heavily wooded flat to north facing slopes, and after two to three weeks of consistent precipitation. All three elements are key!! What I do is I watch the weather forcasts on a daily basis and I pay attention to which mountains are getting the most rain. That will help you a ton. Another great area to look in southern Utah is Boulder Mtn, or any of those ranges that is heavily wooded and accessable above 9,000 ft. We are getting late in the year now though.

@@UtahMushroomHunter thank you

You bet! It was a fun hunt. I appreciate you joining my hunt. I wish there were more Kings popping at that time.

Jessica, we need to get you on another hunt!! We are getting late this year, but message me in late July next year, or early August, and we can get you into some great Porcini!! I have one more video to publish, and we found a ton of kings in the Vernal area. It was a fun hunt!!! There is a chance (if this week stays warm) that I might try one more time in the Wasatch Mtns, and you are welcome to come on that hunt if I do, but it is winding down very quickly now for this year with this cool weather we have been getting.

I thought so too. They are fun animals.

Translation... "A Very tasty mushroom. You can salt it."... Yes, I agree!!

Nice!! Yes, send me your info in a text, and I will get you out on one of my hunts!! 801-787-5866 cell.

I don't see them too often either. This is the second one I have seen in this area in the last 5 years. So I guess they like this area.

Thank you Ben. We need to get you on another hunt!!

Awesome!! Glad you found some. Send me a text with your info, and I will try to get you out on one of my hunts!! 801-787-5866 cell.

YES I would add picture of all of our Pickled, boiled and de-hydrated Mushrooms if I could :)...

I am so sorry that they didn't respond to you. Let me know what I can do to help. You can always text me at 801-787-5866.

Sarcodon imbricatus. Yes, they are out right now. I have been finding them!!

@@UtahMushroomHunter me and my girlfriend would love to go mushroom hunting with you sometime! I watched your videos for my first time a few days ago. Went and found some sarcodon imbricatus and also found my first king boletus!! Cooking them now to give em try!!

Thank you!!

Thank you Carey!! Check out the latest video!! It is a good one!!

@@UtahMushroomHunter I’m will do that But I think I already seen it :)

I hope you heal quickly!!
