Anna McHugh
Добавлен 4 июн 2013
I'm Anna McHugh, and this channel is all about wild mushroom hunting and identification in the South and Eastern United States. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'll teach you how to find and identify edible wild mushrooms like chanterelles and lion's mane and steer clear of lookalikes. I also do videos about common mushrooms that I think are cool, mushroom ecology, and the wild world of mushroom taxonomy. I'm not good at Latin, but I try!
Lactarius indigo mushrooms: Blue-bleeding beauties with banded caps + Red Russula redux
One of my favorite mushrooms to find is the Indigo milky cap mushroom. Indigo milkies-collectively called the Lactarius indigo species group-bleed blue juice when you damage any part of the fruiting body. They have lovely powdery blue caps with concentric bands around the margin and dark blue gills. Indigo milky cap mushrooms are common in the Eastern U.S. and South during summer and into the fall. The signature feature of these edible mushrooms is their prodigious blue latex, which makes them spectacularly fun to mess around with, even though I don’t eat them often.

But foragers beware-Berkeley’s polypore becomes leathery and stinky with age, just like the specimens in this vid...

What no one seems to address is.... does false turkey tail have any medicinal properties?????
They look a lot like amanita pantherina!
AMAZING! Can’t stop watching!
Just discovered your channel. Why don’t you have like a million subscribers?? You and your content are amazing!
You are such a good communicator! Thank you!
Is this edible?
I would say that in Sweden, brittlegills are the best for several reasons. Not many people pick them (most look for chanterelles or boleti) and there is zero chance of being poisoned.
Thank you for teaching. I am researching this species for a painting. I love your drawing 💜
Very good video Anna
I have been eating turkey tail and false turkey tail raw right off the log for years. I am going to have to look into this more. Good information keep spreading it!❤
Thank you for your love of mushrooms
Recently have eaten blewit. Was very suprised how tastey it was. Even the smell was like anise. It almost has its own seasoning😂. I fried it in oil with onion
Awesome. Great video. 🤙✌️🖖
Wur do u get at dose Walmart carry them
Keep doing anna
I just found them. I was beyond mad. I just found my first lions mane bears head.. one of them. Got only one off a dead tree. Then found this crap that was everywhere. Not lions mane whatsoever. I think it taste like a better version of white botton but I slammed it in butter and garlic. This video really helped. They are definitely in the soil. On dead logs and on living roots. Very sad. Wanted the spores from the wild lions main...
The spores should be brown and microscopically should have a lumpy warty uneven appearance. Great macro id, though there are a very few Sarcodons that have a smoother cap.
Coral mushrooms are so yummy.
Thank you so much for your content. You’re so amazing!
I was hiking in north bay California near the coast after a rain. The whole forest was growing with these. It was incredible to see. Where I live, 75% of the mushrooms are edible. Only place in the world
I never thought one simple question would lead me to being immeasurably intrigued by mushrooms but here I am .
I've eaten pounds of ringless honey in soup, Ramen etc and they have become my favorite because they have a strong mushroom flavor and we can pick a lot of them. We pick them buy the gallon. Stem texture is tough so I skip those. We wash and boil/simmer about 5 minutes first. Delicious. All ours have no rings and gills that run down the stem. When they start to rot they smell very bad and leave a big dead spot on the ground
i just found your channel and love it!! I live in the Raleigh area and stumbled onto one of your videos by accident. so happy I did, I've already learned so much :)
I've got a big flush of some Agaricus in my front yard in Oregon this fall, and I'm gonna have to look a little closer to see if their edible. Thanks!
Thank you! Cool video and I like your presentation style too.
Thank you for sharing mother nature mudhrooms.😊.GB!😊😊
For me, i prefer going into the russula genus or even the amanita genus since the difference between good parasols and creepy lepiotas are not super clear to me yet...
Thank you like eight just popped up outside where I dumped potting soil after a heavy rain
And what about Gymnopilus? I would like to find Gymnopilus Junonius
I've seen these forever. But had never ate one until today, like 1min ago. I know how to identify them but just needed a little refresher.. that's what brought me here now. I had one in my yard in a usual area. My honey mushrooms had bugs & went bad so if figured I'd just eat this one since it just came up. I never noticed an almond or sweet smell before. This one I thought smelled a bit sweet possibly fruity. But when I started cooking it, I tried a piece & it tasted a whole lot like almond. It tasted more like a store bought after it became an omelet. Thank you for this video!
excellent video, thank you!
Please answer me 😢
Can I send you a picture of the mushroom Suillus? I want to know if it's poisonous or edible. We have a lot of it in the woods, but I don't know if it was edible.😭😭😭
Romanians fry it 😅good bbq

You should eat it before you knock it with child sh stuff
In the top 5 of my favorites. I make mushroom bacon. If they are large enough I put them in the oven with Montreal steak seasons and broil them. They eat like a steak which I used to enjoy before I became vegetarian. TY Anna
You loooove to babble endlessly but to your credit no repetition just endless details and random information. It can be tedious. You have to get one of those crier wood sticks that you clasp when you finished a sentence forcing you to pause briefly before opening your mouth again. Remember that public talking is not telling ALL that goes through your mind but making a selection. Hopefully you won't take this comment badly, as we live in a time when people don't tolerate anything not sweet and supportive. By the way i joined an online forum named shroom and it was disapointing and a waste of time. Compared to car brand/model forums it was dead and people were very cold and self righteous. Also apparently many substance abusers using mushrooms. Pathetic.
I found the book in my local library, thanks (yes in NC).
You can eat the entire bloom that is in your hand and not waste any part of it. I know because i did. Found no maggots and sliced and cooked well.
When people says omphalotus illudens are big and that's a way to distinguish them, that's flawed because before they got big they had to grow from small ! poisoning will occur when people see them in their small sizes not when they've reached this big blooming size. In a way talking about size is a trap and will get people to see them when small and confuse them.
