I went on my very first mushroom hunting expedition yesterday and found a lion's mane!! I'm a newby to this, so I'm only harvesting the ones I'm 100% sure of and, like you said, you can't get it confused with anything else!!
Congratulations! One of the best tasting mushrooms in the world right there! It is very safe, However there are some great ways to confirm. I recommend posting pictures to a FB group and ask for confirmation. I I still do that myself when leaning a new shroom. Its always a good idea to use multiple channels for confirming your identifications. Congrats a again!
Thanks for this video, you do a nice job explaining the types & what to look for to identify in the fall. I am going on my 2nd hunt tomorrow with a friend, weather permitting. Hoping to find enough to share, and a few types. I found young chicken of the woods last week. Was given some for the 1st time the week before while camping, & so enjoyed them. I live in IL (more northern) so it was especially nice to see a video from a IN person. Thanks
I am an avid mushroomer and have been for years. My Grand Dad got me started, God rest him, and I've been hunting ever since. I have many places I hunt and almost always get all I need for the year.
@@reliablyrandomoutdoorsCool, I'm Manchester based but have an NC USA planned move in future. It's a way off yet, plus a Shroom Farming venture in the works for 2024 :) With Mush Loves, comes Mush Re-Spore-Ability ;) Peace and Namaste
@@kevinsnyder8448 thank you, I have been really slow at making videos this year because I had to start a new job and put some added focus back on my family. I’m definitely gonna be continuing to make these videos and honestly I really hope to take them to the next level when I come back and get active again, not sure when that’ll be, but I promise when I do, I’m gonna try to make it awesome
Awesome vid. I bought a woods along the Kewaunee river that has Everything because it is all western exposure and goes from river level to 134 feet . All hills so it goes from Iron wood and Beech trees to birch and maple to cherry and oak. I want to learn this so badly.
In Wisconsin right👍? Hey I love that area. Well maybe we can work something out. I have been looking for someplace on the Wisconsin side to hit the fall Salmon run. Be glad to share mushroom knowledge for fishing access… thoughts?
That is defiantly a possibility seeing I have about 1400 feet of river frontage on the Kewaunee. It's about mile or so up river from the Public boat launch just up from the second Bridge on the east side of the river if your a google earth kinda guy. My brother has the first house on the river and my land starts south of his.
@@woodbutcher40 Wow, that looks like a really awesome spot. You should have all kinds of Mushrooms in that area. Maybe even some Chaga if you have Birch trees. Lets trade info and discuss if you are at all interested. Drop me an email albackfish@gmail.com I was kind of thinking September for Salmon and that would probably be perfect for Fall mushroom season as well. either way lets discuss it and see if it sound like a good idea. Look forward to hearing from ya
I got f**cked up with alcohol for over 8 years. Also suffered severe depression. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. I will be 2 years clean after trying out a psilocybin treatment. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms. Saved my life honestly from addiction and depression.
Hi, I really enjoyed your mushroom video and I want to start forging for mushrooms. I know how wonderful they are for us and I love them. I’m going to send you a picture of a mushroom I found in my yard and I cannot find out what it is, if you wouldn’t mind telling me thank you.
The musrhooms on this list are some of the easiest and safest to start with. I think the chicken shroom was the first one I ever ate (other than morels) many years ago
Second video of yours that I have watched period love your personality and this video was very informative. I'm just starting out, Do you have any tips.. On your other video, you said that mushrooms were last LO L. Well i'm starting with mushrooms l o l 😅😊 I found some honey mushrooms in my aunt's neighbor's yard period I have permission to get them and i've been waiting a few days double checking what they were and their edibility.. I have been seeing mushrooms everywhere for the last two days l o l.. I'm going to be harvesting some this weekend! I live in east texas.. Any tips would be appreciated.
Well thank yoy very much and thx watching…. Honey mushrooms are a great one to know. Best tip I could give if u are just starting out is to focus on families and genuses of mushrooms. Polypores as a whole have a lot of edible varieties and are usually pretty easy to distinguish. I did some shrooming in TX a few years ago but it had been extremely dry so ended up just pig hunting instead. I was SW of San Antonio so a pretty arid area. I was curious if there were any shrooms that liked the live oak trees that are so common down there. What part of TX are u in? Just curious
"I'm going to show you a clip of an older video where i've spoken about these mushrooms.....how to preserve them and also cook them. But, let the buyer beware, there are guns...lots of guns in these previous clips. I'm going foraging today with my dog Happy. I would love to send you some images of the mushrooms available in the middle of Indiana.
awesome, glad to hear you get those guns out too! messaging me on FB is the best way to send pics if you want to. It is under the old channel still Adventures with Backfish
I have 30 acres, and have found puffballs, shrimp of the woods, pearl oyster, bears claw, lions mane, etc., but nothing of the quantities you are showing, what part of the country are you i that you are getting that much?
Howdy, sounds like you know your shrooms... I am in Indiana just outside Terre Haute... I would guess the difference is the huge oak population in the woods I hunt. Many of the more mixed species woods i hunt don't tend to give me the huge harvests... of course years of trial and error has led me to know which woods pop when. But I did find my best woods years ago simply by searching for the thickest population of old oak trees I could find.... seems like where i find the oaks usually i also find lots of maple and beach so the shrooming all around is good. Happy Shrooming!
Yeah but only during spring. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aureoboletus_projectellus this mushroom is amazing ! We call it in poland american boletus :D IT came from US to Europe ( exacly to lithuania) on ships. Next migrated to northern Poland :) we really like IT because our worms does not like it. So all of them can taken to basket :)
I’ve heard of that w A Muscaria, very common in the past. Personally never never have a short supply of more desireble ones that time of year so I’ve never bothered trying
@@reliablyrandomoutdoors That is a sad sad overly defensive thing to say. You should take a class on food safety, old Laeitporus can mess people up pretty bad.
@@kennyrupert1402 ok genius, what is the danger? Maybe if you don’t want to sound like a troll you should mention the mechanism of danger. Is it toxic, is it bacterial, is it some metamorphic change, does it become infested with parasites. What is it that changes in this mushroom that is not easily rectified with proper pressure canning or cooking as is illustrated in this video? Btw I easily supplement about 20% of my families food intake with wild foraged, gardened, and killed food. So please! Teach me something! Oh and my hobbies include food preservation. And as far as food classes I have only taken ones that apply to modern kitchen operations and food safety rules. Again please teach me something! I’m hoping you aren’t just some dingus that just took a foraging class and now considers himself an expert. Because your statement seems clueless to me as I believe it to only be a culinary preference, one which I understand. As a survivalist who counts on food from nature one has to open up their minds to more than just choice condition mushrooms. Just sounds like you live in a small world but want people to think you are important. So here is your chance…. Teach me something
@@lizzucco5455 haha, sorry, I have a tendency to mirror back what people give me. Plus what he was saying had little merit. As a culinary choice I agree, or if you are specifically in the pac west region if memory serves there is one species that builds a tanon from a certain tree as it ages, which btw most books recommend avoiding that species all together. But he didn’t know any of that which means he wasn’t that knowledgeable, so admittedly I did get irritated because there are a lot of people who spread disinformation on mushrooms. Partly because there just aren’t that many people who can call out their BS. I am by no means the foremost source on mushrooms. I have been studying and eating them for over 20 years and in that time I have learned a lot. Some of these mushrooms I use and lean on as a food source and have become extremely familiar with over the years. This being one of them. I am no Adam Harrington, but I at least know what I know and what I don’t know and I don’t try to tell people I know things if I’m wrong or I’m willing to admit if I am and learn from it as evidence one of my videos where I miss identified laporta canadensis.

Yes!! Bears head tooth is the best tasting mushroom out there. Sooo good

Oh thats great. I wish I had someone to learn it from like that. But hey, my kids will
@Leo Richard Bruh, I don't give a damn about you're dealer. Keep that s**t off my posts.
WOW, what incredible hauls you are finding in your areas. Great video and tips. Mush Love from UK.

Risotto is good with mushrooms...cheesy w white wine and shallots or onions...
Oh yeah! I like the way you think!
Great video. I've seen all these in steelville missouri woods.
Yeah I’m in Indiana, pretty the woods here are pretty similiar in MO. I love Southern Missouri, spend a lot of time a Montauk and Bennet springs
I thought I had to wait all year for morels. I can go right now. Thanks

Thank u I found what kind it is but unfortunately we have weed killers applied to our lawn so can’t eat them 😢
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks for the vid. Good hunting to you and the fam.
THanks! You and yours as well!
In Poland we are collecting mushrooms in Winter! Great fun for my childs!
What ones do you find there in the winter?
@@reliablyrandomoutdoors Flammulina velutipes winter flame mushroom. In China called enoki I guess
Thanks for producing great content!
Thanks for watching!
I love mushroom hunting! But I've only ever hunted morels, afraid to misidentify anything else. I want to see what else i can find this year

Holy cow. I never thought I'd hear Clinton, Indiana on a RUclips video.
haha, yeah we are Hautians LOL shot that video of my son catching a fish in mid air right off the clinton boat ramp
Now I wanna mushroom hunt.
:)Now that makes me smile!

Puffballs in Poland are called giant skull :)
We have one we call a skull shaped puffball, I think I was a holding one for a minute in the video.
if it has very little yellow inside, can i eat the giant puffball?
Your Sam Hyde thumbnail was terrifying.. +1
Haha! Yeah I could see that. My thumbnail game is weak LOL.
Unfortunately we don't have maitake in the PNW! That's okay thought because we've got some other good stuff too.
Yeah you have the Pine Mushrooms. That’s one I’ve always wanted to try but we don’t have here.
I have 30 acres, and have found puffballs, shrimp of the woods, pearl oyster, bears claw, lions mane, etc., but nothing of the quantities you are showing, what part of the country are you i that you are getting that much?

For sure they are one of the best
