A thought on what you were saying about sustainability and gratitude in harvesting: I like to harvest mushrooms in a mesh bag - such as the kind one buys onions in. This leaves plenty of gaps for the mushrooms to drop spores on the return trip home - particularly in the environment where they were found. Let's face it: if they were found there, it's an agreeable habitat for them - so spreading spores as one heads back to the trailhead or car is a great way of helping the fungus and giving something back.
@@gorgjesss I can't honestly take credit; I picked up the tip from some other mushroom hunter. I was just passing it along. Knowledge is free wealth. 🙂👍
@Queen Rainy I did not say or think any thing against you or bad about you. I think this video was great. I think you might have accidentally confused my comment or confused my comment with someone else.
Adam - I must say THANK YOU! Your mind is one of the most mystically MARVELOUS myco-minds I've ever seen!! And I'm an old girl of 63 years. I've learned so much about mushrooms from you. How DO you know so much, dahhling?? LOL!!

Thank You for sharing your brilliant, wonderful, and very much needed knowledge! Great people like You make life worth living! Thank You for sharing your adventures, your experiences, your observations. Your impressive IQ is astonishing in every video clips you've made for us! Last but not least, we love your perfect, clear, and precise voice! May God's Blessings be with You and Yours for always!!!
you are the best educator on the subject. Intelligent, well spoken, enthusiastic, not pretentious and everything you say means something. No silly music, no camera tricks, no extras. THANK YOU FOR HARD WORK, you are amazing
this is so well done it's shocking. after this 30 min video I feel confident I can walk outside and begin to go observe the mushrooms that grow in my woods and bring back some characteristics to research further
I don't collect mushrooms but I seek them out for the joy of looking at them. Your videos make the process even better. Thanks so much for these amazing videos!!!
Beautifully said at the end brother.. True nature connection is the ultimate goal in your land, not successful mushroom identifications.. Really love the content man, you’ve influenced me a great deal in how I view the land around me ✌️
No don't imagine that , they would all b using limited resources, let the dumb eat their n as produced fake foods to keep our real treason healthy grocery store o forest market safe and productive?
With regards to conservation & sustainable foraging, some North American Indian tribes practice(d) finding three of a plant before harvesting from one of them. It is an awesome discipline imo.
My wife, Maria, wanted me to write you a thank you for the clear and helpful presentation. She said she liked your photographs, your detailings, and your clear English presentation. I also thank you.
I’m so glad I watched this.The other day I was driving in south Jersey and it seemed like everywhere I looked there was mushrooms.I’ve always wanted to learn more about them,This was a awesome start!
Seeing a new Learn Your Land video is like Christmas morning! Thanks again Adam. Found some Dryad Saddles again yesterday in eastern PA. Morels should be anyday now! Found 2 sheds and a plate full of fiddleheads too
I recently found your channel. I have been into mushroom hunting for 25+ years. The way you explain things simply and with enthusiasm is exactly what new foragers need. Great job, and I agree with others here that you should consider a guide book as well. All in all A+ my friend!
Hey, Adam! I don't know if you've considered this, but I really hope you consider publishing a mushroom hunting guide. Even if it's just a digital download and print deal, none of the guides I've seen have been great and I'm confident you would outclass them all handily. Thanks man, take care.
Thank you for making these videos. My son and I just moved and have a national forest as a backyard. We are truly learning so much from your videos and appreciate the inspiration you've given us.
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to help maintain an area of woods and had a basic knowledge of flowering plants but little knowledge of fungi. Thank you for helping me to identify my first black morel!
A year later, and I SO agree with the note below...a hunting guide (flip cards for analog, phone app for digital). Loved this video, presented info clearly and succinctly, you are a skilled teacher with an obvious passion for this topic.
"Puff Balls are really easy to positively identify, the only thing you might confuse it with is a soccer ball, volleyball, or bag of trash" LOL.. this guy is gold
I’ve harvested puffballs as large as a foot wide and pure white and solid inside . Sliced in one inch slabs and pan fried in butter with garlic and some salt . It’s like eating a steak .
Loved to go mushrooming with my Italian family when I was young to being a young adult. We'd each carry a large burlap sack and search for the porcini mushrooms (boletus edulis) and sometimes these mushrooms would have a cap larger than a dinner plate with a stem as thick as a coffee mug. Sometimes, you'd have to make several trips back to the car to empty the sack once you had 40-50# of mushrooms. Once back at home, these shrooms were sliced into 1/4" slices and dried on specially constructed racks, then stored in a pillowcase for a couple more weeks, then transferred to large jars and packed in there with bay leaves and cayenne pepper pods as a preservative. When it was time to make a pasta sauce, the dried shrooms would be crumbled up and mixed with warm water prior to being added to the sauce. Then, I discovered the morels and chanterelles which are delicious.
Watched your video about stinging nettle. Couldn't locate any near me, so I started some from seeds. I think I've created a monster!!! Also, I had the opportunity to pick up some maple logs, purchased Shitake spor and inoculated them. We'll see what happens next year. Thank you so much for the time you put into educating us!
Dang I want to grow my own food like that. I've heard those are very nutritious with medicinal uses (stinging nettle). But seems like it'll cost a pretty penny... And where I live, the value of a penny outweighs our currency 😭
I am also a mushroom lover. This informative documentary on mushroom expanded the horizons of my knowledge of mushrooms' so that I got attracted to learning more about mushrooms. Actually, This has a really nice, well organized content. Best wishes and much thanks from Sri Lanka.
Very interesting talk. Well done :) Where I live there are differences in the mushrooms available including the poisonous ones. Very good comment on finding books which are regionally specific. When speaking with people who become interested in mushroom hunting I always tell them if if doubt no matter how small never ever eat them. As a safety guide for hunting I also advise two things. 1. Two bags one for known edible species and a second bag for ones you are not sure about. This ensures that no liquids transfer accidentally between edible and potentially poisonous. 2. Never lick your fingers while hunting mushrooms. Might sound daft. However, if you are picking unidentified species you don't know if they are poisonous or not. Safety First at all times. You only get one life.
Couldn't have said it better when you said what the ultimate prize is. Ive always been a nature buff, but since I started watching your videos a few years ago, it's sensitized me to a whole new world in nature. Not only can I maybe find something to eat, but in the process of looking, I see another level that I previously ignored. Thanks for these. You knowledge and enthusiasm are so contagious ( with so social distancing required🙂). And you slowed down slightly too. You used to talk just a little too fast to absorb the huge amounts of info. Your video making has improved a lot over the years.
Great overview, indeed! I have long been a member of the Pacific Northwest Mycological Society, and am gratefull you stressed the value of membership in a group. It's a HUGE resource, and you'll be amazed what you can learn. One of my group-found skills is how to make mushroom paper. Both globally, and in our (my) region, an important researcher to add is our own Paul Stamets. His presence can be found right here on RUclips, and his knowledge will blow you away. One of his recent projects is identifying types of mysilia and processes to denature biohazards like Fukushima radiation. Again, great video! Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video! My grandfather used to pick morel mushrooms in the woods behind his house. I used to live near Galion Ohio. I am in North Carolina now and we have completely different mushrooms here but some of the same ones as there. I always wondered what kind of mushrooms Grandpa used to pick and I found this video, thank you!
I really do love mushrooms... It would tickle me no end to be able to forage wild mushrooms for myself. Could fresh store-bought mushrooms be allowed to throw their spores on your land and see if they will grow?
Excellent Adam!!! Well covered the basics & more~~~ LOVE the vid of the bug cleaning its face....amazing capture!!! Sure is a full lesson!! Thank you!!
I love the footage of you actually harvesting these mushrooms, because it helps put their size into perspective. I was surprised at how large a lot of them are. The only mushrooms I’ve ever really noticed, are the white ones that pop up in my lawn here in eastern PA. Thanks for this great video - I’m an instant fan of your channel!
Wow I can't thank you enough!!! I'm new to mushroom foraging and this tutorial is the perfect welcome gate! Super clear and informative and all served in such a friendly way!! Thank you for your wonderful work!!!
A London University assignment to measure the micilliim that has relationship to a single Oak Tree in London’s centre. They followed the matrix and measured that it spread out four and a half miles in all directions. You have t love that.💜🍄🌳
Well done Adam! I believe that this is one of your older videos as I kind of remember seeing a lot of the information that you presented herein. In any event, never hurts to watch any previous info about mushrooms! Thanks & hope that you & yours are staying safe............ 👍👍🍄🍄🍄🍄👍👍
That was the most learned & educational video on fungi I’ve seen, easy to understand & absorb . Thanks for your time and effort, it’s quite evident that you know what your talking & explaining about, much appreciated, l fully intend to absorb your other videos of what is a wonderful subject matter. Thank you so much!. Paul B😊👍
If there's a state forest or park near you, check the laws in your area about foraging on state land and try there. The forest Adam is in is clearly a managed forest like a state park. Natural, unmanaged forests generally have thick underbrush.
@@tissuepaper9962 there’s a large part of unmanaged forest at the end of my neighborhood. There’s a trail that goes through them down to lake Lanier in ga, the brush nearby the trail is very thick but if you push through it, the forest opens up a little bit.
Loved this video and finally got the point of the spore print. I was, initially, a little disappointed that there was no mention of false morels. I had read previously that they can be hard to distinguish from true morels, but after a little research this morning, found this to be not as difficult as I had previously thought. Thanks so much
So good, I shared with some of my friends and family wondering what I do wondering about in the woods lol great material and easy info that’s useful and fun👍❤️🍄
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful, learning a lot. I am in Poland so gets difficult to learn about new mushrooms since many people don't speak English and don't know other species as edibles. Groups on FB are helping me with identification aside from your videos. Really thankful for your channel.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put into sharing this hobby! I stumbled upon Learn your Land when I first moved to the PA area, about 3 years ago. Call me a slow starter, but I'm taking the kids out to go hunting for the first time today!
Eastern PA - Love your channel content - newer to wildcrafting - starting to work mushrooms - searched for beginner - yours is the first video again You are among a select few that I don't have to test to see if there is actually any useful content - THANK YOU!
So amazing and informative, thank you! I was in my hardwoods forest yesterday in S Central Ohio. Found 3 little morels. Picked a nice bouquet of young dandelion, yellow and garlic mustard leaves, field garlic. I learned how to stir fry them from one of your previous videos. I splash on balsamic vinegar to sweeten up a bit. Organic and delicious! Makes you feel so good inside.
The Caboose was the operation part of the Mapes in 69-71. Made the experience very intimate and personal. Got crazy and very impersonal when the ball room opened and police raids began. Saw it all unfold . . . Loved it all.
Adam, thank you for such high-quality content and conscious intention behind your words. It’s unbelievable how much you cover, with clarity, buoyancy and balanced perspective. You are helping so many people!
I found your videos and they're Great. I've been hunting Morels for Decades now . I watched 2 of your videos and learned more in a few minutes than in years of being in the woods. I'm going to expand my search to include some other types . Thanks 🙏
Thanks for teaching me more. I've been exploring/gathering mushrooms for about 5 years not. In Finland. One thing I always tell people when they start there mushroom adventure is to use baskets or bags that have 3to5 mil. Holes it is vary important. To let mushroom spores fall out. Alot of place in souther Finland many mushroom species have decreased. Because of people gathering with bags baskets and buckets that don't have holes.
For what it's worth, thankyou for your dedication to knowledge and education. I am certain your work will have a lasting impact on the world (beyond the world of micology). I've enjoyed your videos for several years now, and it is thanks to YOU, that I have gone from an adult who was scared to even touch a mushroom, to someone who harvested close to a lb. wet of black trumpets last year from his own property. This has tremendously enriched my life, as I enjoy cooking very much, and wild mushrooms are an invaluable asset to me now.
Hi Adam Your videos are simply awesome! I love what you teach and you have a wonderful way of teaching it. It might be a good idea to mention the false morel, the morel's it's inedible look-alike , for the sake of prevention. We wouldn't want anyone to be turned off from foraging due to a dramatic gastric episode.
A thought on what you were saying about sustainability and gratitude in harvesting:

What you do is a very honorable thing! I would love to learn from your generous nature ways. So innovative! 😅

I'm legit going to do the same thing now that's genius
@@animezyy4583 Now I wish I could remember who I heard the idea from, so I could give credit! 😅
I'm pretty sure Larry Lonik (rip) promoted this method heavily back in the day. He may have even sold bags special made for it
“Real nature connection is the ultimate prize.” So true!
This was like learning basic mycology from Dr. Seuss and I absolutely loved it.
Hahahahha. Way better then Dr. Seuss but I see the comparison. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very interesting and informative

Here in the Northwest, David Arora’s “All that the Rain Promises and More” is the best pocket guide to have, hands down
I believe it doesn't have look alike and poisonous look alike, which would be the important info for a newbie like me.
This is the best introduction to mycology and foraging I have come across. Shared! Thank you for this wonderful content.
Great video Adam! Very informative and you seem like one of the nicest guys on the interwebs!

Get good mushrooms from myco_newt on instagram and telegram he's got psychedelic products like LSD, DMT, SHROOM GRAINS.
My aunt had the mushroom cannisters and mushroom wallpaper in her kitchen. She was my cool Aunt Betty.

Where I live there are differences in the mushrooms available including the poisonous ones. Very good comment on finding books which are regionally specific.
When speaking with people who become interested in mushroom hunting I always tell them if if doubt no matter how small never ever eat them. As a safety guide for hunting I also advise two things.
1. Two bags one for known edible species and a second bag for ones you are not sure about. This ensures that no liquids transfer accidentally between edible and potentially poisonous.
2. Never lick your fingers while hunting mushrooms. Might sound daft. However, if you are picking unidentified species you don't know if they are poisonous or not.
Safety First at all times. You only get one life.

Ours were like that too so we have gradually tamed it over the years. It’s very satisfying because once you do it it mostly stays that way.
Excellent video. I'm heading out to my woods for my first fungi foray.
Loved this video and finally got the point of the spore print. I was, initially, a little disappointed that there was no mention of false morels. I had read previously that they can be hard to distinguish from true morels, but after a little research this morning, found this to be not as difficult as I had previously thought. Thanks so much
So good, I shared with some of my friends and family wondering what I do wondering about in the woods lol great material and easy info that’s useful and fun👍❤️🍄
Thank you from eastern Ontario Canada! I’m looking forward to going out and learning my land 😉✌🏼
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful, learning a lot.
I am in Poland so gets difficult to learn about new mushrooms since many people don't speak English and don't know other species as edibles.
Groups on FB are helping me with identification aside from your videos.
Really thankful for your channel.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put into sharing this hobby! I stumbled upon Learn your Land when I first moved to the PA area, about 3 years ago. Call me a slow starter, but I'm taking the kids out to go hunting for the first time today!
Eastern PA - Love your channel content - newer to wildcrafting - starting to work mushrooms - searched for beginner - yours is the first video again
You are among a select few that I don't have to test to see if there is actually any useful content - THANK YOU!
Love your content man, you got me into mushroom hunting and it's one of the biggest sources of joy in my life.
Trexwithashotgun mine too.
Love the vibe of this channel.
So amazing and informative, thank you! I was in my hardwoods forest yesterday in S Central Ohio. Found 3 little morels. Picked a nice bouquet of young dandelion, yellow and garlic mustard leaves, field garlic. I learned how to stir fry them from one of your previous videos. I splash on balsamic vinegar to sweeten up a bit. Organic and delicious! Makes you feel so good inside.
Thank you Adam from CNY, love your very informative videos. Looking forward to a robust mushroom season. Stay well
This video was so clear, concise, and helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
The Caboose was the operation part of the Mapes in 69-71. Made the experience very intimate and personal. Got crazy and very impersonal when the ball room opened and police raids began. Saw it all unfold . . . Loved it all.
Grandmaster Adam with those lightning rhymes! 😹 Great video, Adam.
🤣🤣😂🤣✌🏽Dude be rhyming LOL!!!!!🤣✌🏽
He flows like the creeks, and streams. Doesn't he? Lol
Adam as always thank you so much for the time and effort it took for you to compile this vid it's appreciated greatly, Chris Suffolk UK
Adam, thank you for such high-quality content and conscious intention behind your words. It’s unbelievable how much you cover, with clarity, buoyancy and balanced perspective. You are helping so many people!
I found your videos and they're Great. I've been hunting Morels for Decades now . I watched 2 of your videos and learned more in a few minutes than in years of being in the woods. I'm going to expand my search to include some other types . Thanks 🙏
Thanks for teaching me more. I've been exploring/gathering mushrooms for about 5 years not. In Finland. One thing I always tell people when they start there mushroom adventure is to use baskets or bags that have 3to5 mil. Holes it is vary important. To let mushroom spores fall out. Alot of place in souther Finland many mushroom species have decreased. Because of people gathering with bags baskets and buckets that don't have holes.
Already subscribed. Liked and shared with my daughter. Awesome stuff as usual, Adam.
For what it's worth, thankyou for your dedication to knowledge and education. I am certain your work will have a lasting impact on the world (beyond the world of micology). I've enjoyed your videos for several years now, and it is thanks to YOU, that I have gone from an adult who was scared to even touch a mushroom, to someone who harvested close to a lb. wet of black trumpets last year from his own property. This has tremendously enriched my life, as I enjoy cooking very much, and wild mushrooms are an invaluable asset to me now.
Hey Adam im very grateful for your videos. Me and my family love watching and learning! Keep it up buddy cant wait to see what's next
Well said Adam, well said. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Adam
Your videos are simply awesome!
I love what you teach and you have a wonderful way of teaching it.
It might be a good idea to mention the false morel, the morel's it's inedible look-alike , for the sake of prevention.
We wouldn't want anyone to be turned off from foraging due to a dramatic gastric episode.
