I was recently diagnosed with ADHD after decades of being misdiagnosed. One thing that really helps me is being outdoors and I’ve recently started enjoying finding and identifying local mushrooms and plants. I recently found some honey mushrooms which led me to this video. I subbed and think you’re awesome,thanks for making this! 🍄
I'm self dx and currently working on a formal dx. Being in the woods foraging for mushrooms is one of the few things I can follow through on that brings me peace, focuses me, and quiets my brain in a certain way. It's truly been a blessing for many years, esp since adhd is so misunderstood and overlooked in women. Super happy for you to finally get your dx and I hope that you have meds that work for you, on top of this super therapeutic hobby ❤
As always; your delivery, verbal cadence, and the way you organize information when creating these video is my go to for identification as well as piecing together the ecology that certain species appreciate. Thank you for what you do.
I LOVE that you start with the 'dont talk about yourself like that' statement. Wow, so many people need to hear this, including myself. I came for some help with honey mushroom identification, and my confidence in ID'ing it, but I walked away feeling better about myself. You are a treasure.
same as i always tag him and his channel in my vlogs too so if people dont get it the way i put it forward then Adam can clear it up haha i found about 2lb of them today and cant wait to try them! happy hunting Joe!!
I just wanted to say what a valuable tool this video has been. Two days ago, I found my first group of honey mushrooms. Today, I found my first Gallerina. I confirmed both finds by spore prints. Thank you so much!
I can't count how many times I've recommended this video in particular to people on identification forums. Please keep doing these! I'm sure you've saved a few lives already.
I just found your channel and am stoked! I'm 36 now and have been foraging NW GA my entire life. Ive only gotten into mushroom the past 2 years. My great grandpa was 100% Cherokee and he passed when I was 10. But from the time I could walk, he took me into the woods, teaching me the ways of my ancestors.
Great video as always. I love that you kept the info separated in this video. By that I mean you fully discussed the edible first and then switched to discussing the poisonous one. It’s very confusing when people hop back and forth between them while describing them. Much easier to follow and learn from a video like this. Thanks for what you do.
I started foraging since I was 5 or 6...My parents and my grandma taught us things on how to easily distinguish the most known and used mushrooms. But there was one rule of thumb they kept on repeating - if you are not 100% sure about which mushroom you are picking, then leave it - it doesn't worth it. This careful approach is not particularly scientific, but works really well :)
That seems to be a common thing when it comes to passing down foraging knowledge to next generation , I was told this as a kid also and it's very valuable information. However I do like to pick what ever I find just for the sake of studying it because I find that having a mushroom physically helps you learn to Id it . I even picked amanita phaloides just for the sake of getting to know it better
It occurred to me that foraging in the wild is much more similar to the experience of people who have a serious allergy e.g. peanuts. Then you'd really have to scrutinise labels to be sure that they don't contain peanut traces, but over time you'd become much more confident at recognising brands and food types which are safe, much like actual foraging.
I’ve been binging your videos and you are so fricking wholesome omg, I kind of love mushrooms, but didn’t know how to get into them and your channel has been so educational and relaxing for me
I have always wondered about the differences between these two mushrooms and stayed away for lack of confidence. You have such tremendous communication skills and I have become a great fan. I will enjoy making the ID including spore prints and all. Thanks Adam
this video really cheered me up. it's nice to see someone so passionate about fungi!!! I love fungi too, but as an arboriculturalist. haven't ventured into eating them yet but am interested. well done mate. looking forward to the next one
I'm so happy I found you! I stumbled across a mushroom haven here in south eastern Pennsylvania and my passion has grown since then. I've got my books, but your videos and trainings have been so helpful and enjoyable. Love seeing your face and that smile! 😌❤️
I feel very lucky that I live not far from you, in Central Connecticut. So many of your videos apply to our land! Just getting into foraging and it’s very exciting. Great content, Adam!
Hello, Adam: I clicked on this not because I have any doubts about identifying Honeys, but because I was trying to find some information on how long a recently infected 40ft birch standing 5ft from my weekend shack is likely to remain standing, as it will be a complex and dangerous felling., and at 69 the tree might have more years left than me, in which case it's my sons' problem! I know that I've seen infested trees last for years in other places, but I never really paid much attention to it. So far, not been able to get info online, tried calling The Forestry Commision who oversee most of the woodland in the UK. All they could tell me was what I already knew, ie it's very infectious. Anyhoo, a well presented clip, well done, quite a feat of presentation to deliver an 11-minute monologue without any notes. Bearing in mind hat it's much easier to criticise than to create, I offer the below in the spirit of hoping to help you help others ever more: It was a wee bit long-winded but doesn't emphasise sufficiently that they are slightly toxic to some people, and that only a very small amount of should be consumed until one is sure of one's own tolerance. I have gathered and eaten wild fungi for five decades without harm, but once whilst on a trip with strangers, one guy saw me cooking honeys and unbeknownst to me, he did likewise, and suffered stomach problems the next day. IMO, to be safe, it's best to just eat only about a pea-sized piece, wait, a day if no ill effects, double it up each time with at least a day in between--it's only a mushroom, after all!
I don't know how many times I have watched this video, but I STILL don't trust myself to eat the honeys I harvest. I found a bunch today, but looks like 3 different species. Doing spore prints now... I appreciate you, Adam! 👍
We've had such a wet summer in Ct. There are mushrooms everywhere. I got a couple of field manuals, one being the Audobon guide. Today I found a Black Trumpet. I checked against the one manual and brought it home to check against the Audobon version. It checked out and I had seen your work and found your video. Thanks for the concise descriptions and details. I am 100% confident in this ONE, and will use the same proceedure with all. Thanks again. Very well done.
The deadly galerina reminds me a bit of the deadly webcap, at least from underneath with the rust brown gills. I came across them in absolute abundance when foraging funnel chanterelles recently.
These have been growing on some family property for years. I've never thought about trying them. I just started foraging last year and have lucked out with some amazing spots for Oyster mushrooms and now I'm going to be looking into these.
This was a super helpful video! Thank you 🙏 I was pretty sure I found a glorious cluster of honey mushrooms but I’m a novice and after learning about the funeral bell I was nervous. Now I feel much more confident and will be going back to take a cap home and make a spore print to confirm. Thanks so much, following for more!
Awesome video. You’ve taught me so much about foraging on this channel. I appreciate all you do and your passion for these things. I’ve found my first bunch of honeys and I remembered you had a vid on it. Your the best foraging expert on RUclips in my opinion.🙌
Thanks Adam. My Grandparents taught me about these Papinkies(sp), which means 'n the stump' in Polish. They are also very sticky like honey when picked with wet fingers. We'd boil til black with one change of water. Fry in butter, onions. Add heavy cream just before serving on potatoes, venison, noodles, rice, fresh asparagus. Thanx again for all your videos. I can see why you are always smiling!
I am gaining so much information watching these videos. I am a newbie in mycology but this has been a huge resource for me. I don't think it will be long before I am confident to try some wild mushrooms here in Salem, Oregon.
Adam, Thank you for the info and your videos. I always cross reference when researching new edibles, and your videos are always one of my confirming resources. I have learned so much from you!!
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I actually went out to my woods and found at least 60 honey mushrooms...They were everywhere today..The date is October 15th 2021.. I made a pot of creamy Hungarian soup ....Now to deal with all the rest....probably will cook and freeze.....
This is very helpful. I'm a Desert Storm Combat vet & I am thinking about making a survival book with lots of picture of mushrooms, hopefully we can talk some time.
I've been sub'd to learn your land for a while now and it's the best! This highly educated and passionate young man has given me the knowledge and confidence to start seeking out edible mushrooms on my land here in the Black Mtn. Range of Western NC. Thanks Adam:) Keep up the good work!
Well, wonderful video for how to identify honey mushroom and what to be careful about. I have always looked for honey mushroom. I found it but just wasn’t sure. Well, I found them today and enjoyed eating them. 😎 Great job!
Adam, just watched my first video by you....excellent breadth of knowledge, well-articulated, delivered clearly, and great presence. Well done. I'm hooked (and subscribed)!
I love how excited and smart you are. I'm happy to not be the only person to not think I should bring mushrooms home and make friends with them. :) In fact I made such good friends with a cluster of ganoderma sessile I found in front of my local pizza joint recently that I took it home and cloned it on agar. It will now live in bins and grow lovely antlers for tinctures. I originally posted it as possible tsugae because of your video asking why it was growing on wood chips. I had no idea what a ganoderma even was till I found you on here.
Thanks for this video. I found some positively ID-ed honey mushrooms on the base of a birch in Oregon. I didn't notice until you mentioned the black hairs because it's a rainy day.
Thank you so much for info, I picked honey mushrooms on my land every years for almost 20 years. I cook and eat with my friends and family . We love it
Thank you so much! I have found honey mushroom and we have eaten them but sometimes i fund some i am not sure of and leave them and you have just clarified for me what not to pick and eat. I love to watch your videos. Very informative!
weve got mushrooms in hand and studying the subtle differences and have to listen to this wordy talk to get the information, But love your expertise and detail. But the facts, please!
Thank you for sharing the great information. You do such a good job of explaining that I don't think it could be misunderstood. Or at least to explain it in a way that I understand which is awesome because I'm new to this
I have seen both, ate neither. I didn't know about the black hairs toward the center of the cap. My guide book tells about the spore print. I've always practiced the better safe than sorry philosophy. I got from a link to another video of yours with snow on the ground. The one with the black "shoelaces" of the armillaria. Thank you.
Wonderfully helpful and instructive. I can't wait to look for these now, and am looking forward to watching much more of your content. I'm just thrilled to have found this channel. Thanks so much!
You're welcome! I find lots of Honey Mushrooms with bugs as well. If I keep looking around the area, usually I'll find another patch that's much fresher.
This is great! I actually feel rather confident now to collect & bring home to identify before automatically choosing NO as a response. Thank you! Another great and well-informed video!!
I get it Adam. Oftentimes it feels like the market is saturated. Why would anyone want to watch our videos? What uniqueness do we have to offer? Sometimes we wonder why we're doing what we're doing when we create these videos. Add to that uber busy lives and making these videos fall down the list of things to do. Yet there is a huge shift of healing energies right now that are begging for this type of thorough & scientific information of the natural world, and because you are an innately natural presenter and are so thorough in your explanations, not to mention your amazing energy, you are much more valued than you know. Please keep being awesomely you and do continue to make these wonderful videos!
One other identifier that we have with the honey mushroom species here in Alberta is the highlighter like markings that are sometimes present near the base of the mushroom.
One more to add to my medicinal regimen: Armillaria spp.! With the help of Chaga, Reishi and Chicken of the Woods im looking forward to trying this one too
How many watched this and did a spore print before trying it for the first time. I'm nervous for upset GI since the only mushroom thus far that hurts my stomach is the white oyster mushroom that grows in our medium growth mainly hemlock forest. Love this mycologist!
Excellent.....using this video to currently identify some ringless honeys....waiting on the confirming white spore print....but i think i will be eating tonight! Thank you for dropping so much knowledge
Honey mushrooms. Excellent fried with onions and sour cream or marinated in vinegar, sugar, bay leave, allspice. Goes down with Polish vodka really well.
Thank you. I found ringless honey mushrooms two days ago. Didn't look for it but it growing on the areas of other mushrooms. Also found some kind of turkey tail
I really enjoy being outdoors the woods is my happy place I can literally spend all day coming through ever square inch of the woods which is also why I prefer to go alone because I move a lot slower than most ppl when I’m looking for things I’ve found olive shaggy parasols, elm oysters, flowery blewits, gem studded puffballs, slippery jacks, pheasants back and a couple inedible mushrooms such as poison pies, and deer mushrooms which aren’t inedible but when I read up on the it said “edible but not incredible” which led me to believe they might not taste very good so I didn’t bother with them, also gem studded puffballs look too close to Amanita verna, the destroying angel so I’m not confident in consuming them I’d rather have a more seasoned mushroom hunters second opinion. Oh I also found golden morales earlier this year in abundance and they were huge too I didn’t know they could get that big. I was also disappointed to find out that my mushroom field guide doesn’t have a section for blewits in it at all so I have to cross reference multiple sources to make sure the mushrooms I was seeing were blewits or brownits.
I've been picking the Honey Mushrooms for many years now and never had any second thoughts. Several years ago we took home a load of oak logs for fire wood and now in the wood chips we have the honey mushrooms popping up. I questioned these because of their size but like you said, they look like the honey and the spore prints are white. I was told not to use the spores in our area because the honey mushroom is very destructive to the oaks. I also notices that where you have the Honey mushrooms you seldom find the COWS or the HOWS. I think the honeys might over take the other types of mushrooms.. Thanks for the Vids... Helps a lot when it comes to the Galerina Mushrooms..
Love your videos! You always help me be more confident in my own IDs, as I'm in Michigan, so a similar fungal coverage! I find both these mushrooms very often
Thank you for sharing so many informative videos! Some questions come to mind. What are the Agricultural growing zones for the Honey Mushrooms? Which trees can survive the Honey Mushrooms? Which kinds of trees succumb to the Honey Mushrooms? Thank you

Fasho, nature is bliss for our rapid, dopamine deficient brains. Consider daily meditation and reducing sugar intake too!

It's truly been a blessing for many years, esp since adhd is so misunderstood and overlooked in women. Super happy for you to finally get your dx and I hope that you have meds that work for you, on top of this super therapeutic hobby ❤
Add and adhd isn't real. It's a coping method humans have created to block out things we are not interested in.

This. I literally cried hearing that (and I do forage, but it’s an important message to hear)
I thumbs upped after he said it
My thoughts exactly! That kind of blunt kindness is rare these days.
He's a national fucking treasure
You need to see a Psychologist fast.
"In the wild we have to be much more intentional with our choices." I LOVE THAT.
Thanks, Derek!

My mom just foraged 55lbs of honey mushrooms in the Forrest yesterday. It was EVERYWHERE she said. Now, we have a freezer full of mushrooms 🍄
Smart kid with good communication skill! Thanks a lot for the video.

Learn Your Land
Do you have any information on Aborted Entaloma’s
Also the grays that grow with them
I'm so happy I found you! I stumbled across a mushroom haven here in south eastern Pennsylvania and my passion has grown since then. I've got my books, but your videos and trainings have been so helpful and enjoyable. Love seeing your face and that smile! 😌❤️
Thank you Adam for teaching us so much.
You're welcome, Rebecca. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can someone tell me what this mushroom could be
Don’t know how to share the picture sorry
@@LearnYourLand how many of the armillaria species are we eating I know mellea and tabecens but I heard that's two of over several more?
I love the coaching aspect of this already. Thanks.
I feel very lucky that I live not far from you, in Central Connecticut. So many of your videos apply to our land! Just getting into foraging and it’s very exciting.
Great content, Adam!
Hello, Adam: I clicked on this not because I have any doubts about identifying Honeys, but
because I was trying to find some information on how long a recently infected 40ft birch
standing 5ft from my weekend shack is likely to remain standing, as it will be a complex and
dangerous
felling., and at 69 the tree might have more years left than me, in which case it's my sons'
problem!
I know that I've seen infested trees last for years in other places, but I never really
paid much attention to it. So far, not been able to get info online, tried calling The Forestry
Commision who oversee most of the woodland in the UK. All they could tell me was what I already knew, ie it's very infectious.
Anyhoo, a well presented clip, well done, quite a feat of presentation to deliver an 11-minute
monologue without any notes.
Bearing in mind hat it's much easier to criticise than to create, I offer the below in the spirit of hoping to help you help others ever more:
It was a wee bit long-winded but doesn't emphasise sufficiently that they are slightly toxic to
some people, and that only a very small amount of should be consumed until one is sure of
one's own tolerance.
I have gathered and eaten wild fungi for five decades without harm, but once whilst on a trip
with strangers, one guy saw me cooking honeys and unbeknownst to me, he did likewise, and suffered stomach problems the next day.
IMO, to be safe, it's best to just eat only about a pea-sized piece, wait, a day if no ill effects,
double it up each time with at least a day in between--it's only a mushroom, after all!
I don't know how many times I have watched this video, but I STILL don't trust myself to eat the honeys I harvest. I found a bunch today, but looks like 3 different species. Doing spore prints now... I appreciate you, Adam! 👍

You are my favorite person on all of social medias. I'm so thankful for you for sharing your knowledge with us.
The deadly galerina reminds me a bit of the deadly webcap, at least from underneath with the rust brown gills. I came across them in absolute abundance when foraging funnel chanterelles recently.
Everything I've learned from mushrooms you have taught me. Our property has 10 of the best! 😊
Thank you for your guidance and time spent educating me and everyone else who has learned from you❤
These have been growing on some family property for years. I've never thought about trying them. I just started foraging last year and have lucked out with some amazing spots for Oyster mushrooms and now I'm going to be looking into these.
I've seen honey mushrooms several times but I wasn't sure of the identification now with this I can check and harvest some when I encounter them
Great job, lovely philosophy - I really appreciate the recap of the characteristics after the initial descriptions, most helpful!
Love the falling leaves in that spot of woods 🥰
These honey mushrooms are scattered all across my neighborhood and in town. They're really quite nice and make the house smell great when dried.
Thanks a lot! I didn't know they were also medicinal. I'm going to appreciate them even more when I cook some for the first time this evening. 🤗
This was a super helpful video! Thank you 🙏 I was pretty sure I found a glorious cluster of honey mushrooms but I’m a novice and after learning about the funeral bell I was nervous.

I am gaining so much information watching these videos. I am a newbie in mycology but this has been a huge resource for me.
I don't think it will be long before I am confident to try some wild mushrooms here in Salem, Oregon.
Galerina also seems more shiny with no ''hairs'' and a lot more rusty in color. great video! you are the BEST in the mushroom ID world!!
My favorite is the honey! Thanks for your videos!
I was very scared at first....but after looking in the field and getting my hands on some...honeys are so abundant and easy to identify!
Yes, I agree!
Adam, Thank you for the info and your videos. I always cross reference when researching new edibles, and your videos are always one of my confirming resources. I have learned so much from you!!
This was perfect, thanks. Our forests are full of honeys right now, it's probably a big problem. I feel way better about harvesting so much now!
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I actually went out to my woods and found at least 60 honey mushrooms...They were everywhere today..The date is October 15th 2021..
I made a pot of creamy Hungarian soup ....Now to deal with all the rest....probably will cook and freeze.....
I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up. Thank you Adam
I saw some in our woods but didn't know what it was, so I avoided it, it's good to know what specifically to look for, thanks.
Do you know if its toxic
This is very helpful. I'm a Desert Storm Combat vet & I am thinking about making a survival book with lots of picture of mushrooms, hopefully we can talk some time.
I dont know if you are still around John, but first, Thank you for your service. Were you able to work on your book? I pray all is well. Peace.
Yeah, what up with dat?
Right on. Every mushroom I try to familiarize myself with, your videos are my first stop.
Thanks Nick! If there are any mushrooms you'd like to see featured, let me know. I'm always open to suggestions.

Hey Poet! Same here! Old Fort. Just been finding lots of cinnamon chanterelles. 🍄
Well, wonderful video for how to identify honey mushroom and what to be careful about. I have always looked for honey mushroom. I found it but just wasn’t sure. Well, I found them today and enjoyed eating them. 😎 Great job!
I've been seeing those all week, so excited to find out I may have edible mushrooms close by!
Adam, just watched my first video by you....excellent breadth of knowledge, well-articulated, delivered clearly, and great presence. Well done.

Thanks for this video. I found some positively ID-ed honey mushrooms on the base of a birch in Oregon. I didn't notice until you mentioned the black hairs because it's a rainy day.
Awesome videos, just sat and binge watched with a pen and note pad. Subscribed, joined, and followed. Thanks for all the great info.
Thanks, Sean!
Found a huge amount, thank you the help with identifying
Wow I never knew!!! Love this Chanel!!! Thank you Adam!!! Now I feel much more confident
I think I found it but I didn't know it. I will check the pictures I took of the clusters. Thank you! Really appreciate the content

very well done! You have a gift of teaching.
Thanks, Paula! I appreciate the kind words!
Hello Adam! Could you please tell me, what are there distinct differences between the gallerina and a gymnopolis luteus?
Thank you for your positivity and wisdom
So logical and concise...really appreciate the knowledge.
Thank you for sharing the great information. You do such a good job of explaining that I don't think it could be misunderstood. Or at least to explain it in a way that I understand which is awesome because I'm new to this
I have seen both, ate neither. I didn't know about the black hairs toward the center of the cap. My guide book tells about the spore print. I've always practiced the better safe than sorry philosophy. I got from a link to another video of yours with snow on the ground. The one with the black "shoelaces" of the armillaria. Thank you.
Wonderfully helpful and instructive. I can't wait to look for these now, and am looking forward to watching much more of your content. I'm just thrilled to have found this channel. Thanks so much!
Thank you Adam. This was a lot more clearer than what I have read. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
Thanks for doing these videos . you give the most information and best identification of the mushrooms
Yes finding these lately, way past prime and full of bugs but finding them. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! I find lots of Honey Mushrooms with bugs as well. If I keep looking around the area, usually I'll find another patch that's much fresher.
this is great info as i was always worried about possible confusion between these 2
This is great! I actually feel rather confident now to collect & bring home to identify before automatically choosing NO as a response. Thank you! Another great and well-informed video!!
Thanks, Judith! Glad you find these videos useful. I suppose I'll keep making them. :D
I get it Adam. Oftentimes it feels like the market is saturated. Why would anyone want to watch our videos? What uniqueness do we have to offer? Sometimes we wonder why we're doing what we're doing when we create these videos. Add to that uber busy lives and making these videos fall down the list of things to do. Yet there is a huge shift of healing energies right now that are begging for this type of thorough & scientific information of the natural world, and because you are an innately natural presenter and are so thorough in your explanations, not to mention your amazing energy, you are much more valued than you know. Please keep being awesomely you and do continue to make these wonderful videos!
It would be helpful if you showed examples of spore prints and making spore prints.
good vid! I have some Galerina growing in my back yard where an ash tree was removed a few years back. They are pretty and very prolific. :)
You are so informative! You should write a book!
Thank you!
Just could you please take some pictures of toxic or even the eidable mashroom from different angles!
One other identifier that we have with the honey mushroom species here in Alberta is the highlighter like markings that are sometimes present near the base of the mushroom.
Hello from Cold Lake, AB! Thanks for great vid info. I subscribed and shared this video with local foraging group.
Thank you!
One more to add to my medicinal regimen: Armillaria spp.! With the help of Chaga, Reishi and Chicken of the Woods im looking forward to trying this one too
How many watched this and did a spore print before trying it for the first time. I'm nervous for upset GI since the only mushroom thus far that hurts my stomach is the white oyster mushroom that grows in our medium growth mainly hemlock forest. Love this mycologist!
Excellent.....using this video to currently identify some ringless honeys....waiting on the confirming white spore print....but i think i will be eating tonight! Thank you for dropping so much knowledge
Honey mushrooms. Excellent fried with onions and sour cream or marinated in vinegar, sugar, bay leave, allspice. Goes down with Polish vodka really well.
Thank you. I found ringless honey mushrooms two days ago. Didn't look for it but it growing on the areas of other mushrooms. Also found some kind of turkey tail
I really enjoy being outdoors the woods is my happy place I can literally spend all day coming through ever square inch of the woods which is also why I prefer to go alone because I move a lot slower than most ppl when I’m looking for things I’ve found olive shaggy parasols, elm oysters, flowery blewits, gem studded puffballs, slippery jacks, pheasants back and a couple inedible mushrooms such as poison pies, and deer mushrooms which aren’t inedible but when I read up on the it said “edible but not incredible” which led me to believe they might not taste very good so I didn’t bother with them, also gem studded puffballs look too close to Amanita verna, the destroying angel so I’m not confident in consuming them I’d rather have a more seasoned mushroom hunters second opinion. Oh I also found golden morales earlier this year in abundance and they were huge too I didn’t know they could get that big. I was also disappointed to find out that my mushroom field guide doesn’t have a section for blewits in it at all so I have to cross reference multiple sources to make sure the mushrooms I was seeing were blewits or brownits.
Very good video I really like watching and appreciate your knowledge.
Thanks, Thaddeus!
I've been picking the Honey Mushrooms for many years now and never had any second thoughts. Several years ago we took home a load of oak logs for fire wood and now in the wood chips we have the honey mushrooms popping up. I questioned these because of their size but like you said, they look like the honey and the spore prints are white. I was told not to use the spores in our area because the honey mushroom is very destructive to the oaks. I also notices that where you have the Honey mushrooms you seldom find the COWS or the HOWS. I think the honeys might over take the other types of mushrooms.. Thanks for the Vids... Helps a lot when it comes to the Galerina Mushrooms..
Yes, great points! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I don't find them on the same tree, but I find them on nearby trees.
Speaking of the chickens and hens with the honeys.
your level of intelligence on mushrooms and identification is admirable, very informative. How long have you foraged? thanks for the videos
Hey thanks! I've been at this for about 10 years, though I've been diving deep the past 3.
Love your videos! You always help me be more confident in my own IDs, as I'm in Michigan, so a similar fungal coverage! I find both these mushrooms very often
Thank you for sharing so many informative videos!
Some questions come to mind.
What are the Agricultural growing zones for the Honey Mushrooms?
Which trees can survive the Honey Mushrooms?
Which kinds of trees succumb to the Honey Mushrooms?
Thank you
