Thanks Aaron, its a total washout here in Ireland past week, place is saturated, need some dryer weather as everywhere is like a bog thanks to the government aero display team.
My 4 year old son loves your videos just as much as I do! We started going out on mushroom walks almost daily since about late July and we have both learned so much. We are also in Washington (Bellingham) so it's been fun to follow along and find some of the same stuff that you are showing us!
Hello from Tacoma! I just ate my first Hedgehog mushroom this weekend in the south olympics, feels so great to come across your channel at the same time! Can't wait for the next upload, cheers
I lived in kitsap county, Washington for 25 years. I've seen all the mushrooms on your shows back hunting and I didn't realize what they were. Man, I wish I would have seen this video a long time ago. Always pick Shantelle's but up around mossy rock and Packwood. Seeing all those mushrooms boy. I live in Tennessee now so I can't go back and get them.
Local foragers had an end of season run-in with Santa-squatch, preparing next year's Pink Pan patches. Found a huge cluster of what I thought were mature P. allenii, upon closer inspection there were very yellow hybrids, gushing-out their purple contents ..like the conifer tuft, only oozing purple juices. The Amanita frostiana I encouraged, is now diluting the chemotypes of local Destroying Angel's ..slightly less destructive.
I gotta take a minute to thank you and show you the appreciation I have for your well done videos and your knowledge that you share. I've been nerding out on mushroom foraging videos. Just another contractor who's pumped about all that nature has to offer. Went out today and found some incredible chanterelles and cauliflower mushrooms. First time eating Chantys and wow! What a treat! Thanks again for doing what you do. It's not only being enjoyed, but the info your passing along is being retained. 👍👍
I found 6 Coccora mushrooms just starting to open up! I'm 100% sure that it is Coccora but I'm still afraid to eat it! It's on page 68 of David Arora's mushroom book.
I've been wanting to get into mushroom foraging since relocating to this area and these videos are so informative. I'm getting psyched for the Wild Mushroom Show on the 5th!
One of my favorite mushrooms is Lactarius indigo for the same reason you like Clitocybe odora : It's just so blue! Don't think we get Lactarius indigo on the west coast, sadly.
I live in central Kentucky and my area went without rain for about a month and a half. In the last week we finally had a few days of good, steady rain and the mushrooms are back. Just wanted to say your show was awesome to be able to watch when there wasnt anything to hunt ( so bad even Trametes versicolor couldn't be found). Great videos and happy to ya🤘
Give it a while. Fungi needs to wake up from dormancy when dry like that before it starts producing fruiting bodies. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks after a good rain.
I really enjoy you video's, I've learned a lot from them. I'm on the east coast in Pennsylvania in the farm lands. I get a lot of great mushrooms growing on my land, medical Turkey Tails and eatables. Some of them I introduced and some did very well, like Oysters and Chicken of the woods. Thanks, and keep them coming.
Last week was great for viewing mushrooms in my yard. The cold front will probably put an end to them for the year. I have a beautiful flush of Turkey Tail, but I didn’t find anything else I could confidently identify as edible. But there were so many interesting specimens!
Have you seen the green spored Agaricus out here? I make spore art with spore prints and stencils, and have long searched for them 😊 ( 25 year picker out of Seattle... used to be very active on shroomery boards as PNWSearch)
Hey! Love watching these videos, thank you for sharing ! Im curious, how do you decide if a mushroom is too wet / soggy to pick? Sometimes when it rained super recently the mushrooms are really slimy. Do you just take it home and dry it with a paper towel or something? Maybe its a silly question but its much more pleasant to pick the dry ones… thank you!
Yeah, if it's soaking wet from rain, simply laying them out on some paper towels when you get home on the counter for a couple hours will help dry them out enough to put in a paper bag and then put into the fridge.
You missed the small Mycena mushrooms by the Honey Mushrooms. But you did find some other pretty Mycena. Mushrooms don’t like Eastern White Cedars either (Ontario, Canada).
I did see those, just most people aren't too interested in hearing about them because they're so many and they're so small and honestly I don't know a ton of species information. So sometimes I overlook those tiny mycena.. they are kind of for more of an advanced crowd.
@@mushroomwonderland1 True, there are a lot of them. I just love them! They’re so small and fragile and beautiful! Keep up the great work! Always amazed at your knowledge! And such beautiful forests!
Can you expand on the differences between that first agaricus that you said is toxic and The Prince? These look very similar to the prince mushrooms I've found here in NorCal but it is a new one for me.
Prince is going to have a strong and distinctive almond-esque smell and will bruise/stain yellowish. It usually has a far more decorated cap. These don't stain yellow and they don't have any noticeable odor.
Is there a group of people that meet up and have fun hunting and teaching people like me what good and what not I'm about all mushrooms but don't want to die
I'm not finding nearly as many edibles as I was two weeks ago...Kitsap area by Seabeck. I found some brevipes on green mountain last night, all were falling apart and looked rotten.
@@mushroomwonderland1 Very cool, I was trying to find some matsutake up there, good to know they're around there. I've found a couple chanterelles each time, but I want some matsutake! My niece found a nice cauliflower up there 2 weeks ago.
Ive been trying to get people to go looking for years. Im not very educated when it comes to mushrooms. I think I can identify a few but havent really bitten the bullet so to speak . I have however found white truffels THo to be honest Im not sure when they are ready either
You can dry them, maybe use fresh too, and make a tea from them. I did take some and pulverized them in the food processor, they are kind of hard on the food processor, so I would look for another method next time. I added it to my dog’s food.
That is where I want to live. Inside that dark part of the forest. I live closer to Portland. But I'm tempted to build a cabin deep in the woods... I understand why the old stories about a witch living in the dark part of the trees... It's just a woman trying to get away from people and living off the land. 😂 I totally get it.
Outstanding!
This is awesome!!!! Perfect timing love you
I love your videos because I see the same stuff as you at the same time down here in Oregon so I get to ID them.
If you ever feel like taking a viewer along while foraging, let me know. Maybe meet somewhere in between, just an idea
Id like to have some mush love in Idaho
My friend had good luck last week east of Orofino. Good luck
Same bro.
I second this!
If you’re ever in Renton I’d like to show you a few spots. A big variety but I have no experience IDing.
Great journey and beautiful shots
excellent mushy content nom nom
Great video and thanks!!

Oh how wonderful 🍄😃😁 !!! Watching this Halloween treat vid now, thank you !
Love to you everyone everywhere 🎃🤗💜🌌🎇🎇🎇🌟😇
Brick caps are one of my favorites if you haven’t tried it give it a shot guarantee you will like them real nice nutty flavor.

Like the rain gear. A must here in Louisiana also
I really appreciate the content you put out

Well they pop up here every year, year after year. Maybe you'll come back 🤷😅🤘
❤️👍👍
Great vid! Those clitocybe are beautiful, never had heard of that species

Would love to go out with you one day to do some foraging. You have a lot of great knowledge!

Great video dude
You will think I am weird, but I sometimes carry an umbrella when foraging. Don’t like to get too wet.
Last week was great for viewing mushrooms in my yard. The cold front will probably put an end to them for the year. I have a beautiful flush of Turkey Tail, but I didn’t find anything else I could confidently identify as edible. But there were so many interesting specimens!
I don't think the season is over, hasn't been much of a deep freeze, especially in the forests under the canopy and underbrush and insulative duff.
@@mushroomwonderland1 hope so!😸
Im in Northen Alberta and though not a mushroom, i scored Indian Ghost Pipes!!
Have you seen the green spored Agaricus out here? I make spore art with spore prints and stencils, and have long searched for them 😊 ( 25 year picker out of Seattle... used to be very active on shroomery boards as PNWSearch)
Green spored Agaricus?? Never heard of it. Are you perhaps talking about the Green spored parasol, Chlorophyllum molybdites?
@mushroomwonderland1 you know what... yes! Lol thank you. 😊

Do you have any hoodies with the words not printed backwards?
In nature the Sulfur tufts are really quite green.
Can you expand on the differences between that first agaricus that you said is toxic and The Prince? These look very similar to the prince mushrooms I've found here in NorCal but it is a new one for me.
Prince is going to have a strong and distinctive almond-esque smell and will bruise/stain yellowish. It usually has a far more decorated cap. These don't stain yellow and they don't have any noticeable odor.
Is there a group of people that meet up and have fun hunting and teaching people like me what good and what not I'm about all mushrooms but don't want to die
So what were the tiny mushrooms in front of the honey mushrooms at 6:39? We’re they just younger growths of the sulfur tufts?
@mycotroy
So sulpher tuft and conifer tuft have the exact same spore print color is what I just read.
I'm not finding nearly as many edibles as I was two weeks ago...Kitsap area by Seabeck. I found some brevipes on green mountain last night, all were falling apart and looked rotten.
I just went out yesterday on Green mountain and found a ton of mushrooms. Everything except Golden Chanterelles. Even found amazing Matsutake!
@@mushroomwonderland1 Very cool, I was trying to find some matsutake up there, good to know they're around there. I've found a couple chanterelles each time, but I want some matsutake! My niece found a nice cauliflower up there 2 weeks ago.
Ive been trying to get people to go looking for years. Im not very educated when it comes to mushrooms. I think I can identify a few but havent really bitten the bullet so to speak . I have however found white truffels THo to be honest Im not sure when they are ready either
Have you ever run into cougar or bear? It's my biggest fear while out foraging.
Never. Ive seen Bear from a distance, but no encounters.
Because mushroom foraging has become so popular too many people are out there. the last two times I went I came back with nada
Do you have any advice for those who want to start foraging and want to find someone to take them along?
@mycotroy
it looks like Alder not Western Hemlock??
Does anybody here pick turkey tails? Have a fresh flush coming on right now on my peoperty. Dont know what to do with them.
You can dry them, maybe use fresh too, and make a tea from them. I did take some and pulverized them in the food processor, they are kind of hard on the food processor, so I would look for another method next time. I added it to my dog’s food.
What is the best mushroom to cook with top sirloin steak?
Portabella
So many, but for me.. undoubtedly Porcini, Boletus edulis!
I cooked and ate my first ever foraged porcini today. It was delicious. I’m hooked. 🍄
That is where I want to live. Inside that dark part of the forest. I live closer to Portland. But I'm tempted to build a cabin deep in the woods... I understand why the old stories about a witch living in the dark part of the trees... It's just a woman trying to get away from people and living off the land. 😂 I totally get it.
I agree!!
You should tell ppl how they all smell to.
