  • In this video the vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, Aaron Hilliard, takes us on a walk into the forest to discover what mushrooms might be growing next to the trail, how to identify them, whether they are good to eat or not, and what they're called scientifically and their common name.
    A lifetime of fascination with mushrooms led to the birth of this channel and a whole ton of foraging videos just like this one for you to delight in. Aaron has been studying mushrooms for a long time, and is what you would consider a citizen mycologist. Keeping current with taxonomy can be a challenge but have Mushroom Wonderland we try our best. Hopefully this channel appeals to the experienced mushroom forager as well as the brand new person interested in going to look for food in the wild!
    In this video we come across some of the mushrooms that will tolerate the warmer temperatures and dryer conditions of early summer. We start off by looking at bird nest fungi, Nidula niveotomentosa, a very bizarre and complex little fungus that likes to grow on twigs. Then we look at another twig loving mushroom, The Alpine jellycone, Guipiniopsis alpina. We stumble across a couple of beautiful deer shield mushrooms in the forest growing on a dead stump, Pluteus cervinus. We come across a big cluster of beautiful Mica caps, Coprinellus micaceus, which are okay to eat but have a very short shelf life. We find a strange and someone rare bolete called the Xerocomellus diffractus. We also come across a couple of past their prime shaggy parasols, Chlorophyllum rachodes. We get to look at the beautiful sweating metabolites on a Red belted conch, Fomitopsis mounceae. We also talk about Forest health and ecology, the checklist to an old growth forest, and other random mycological banter.

    i loved the disclaimer, honest about how the seasons are impacting the finds. i truly understand the frustration of creating content, when there is none to be found at this time.

    Thx Aaron, enjoyed your interview with myco geeky. I'll take you out bonsai hunting and you can show me how to find mushrooms. =) I'm a Western Wa guy too.

    I fry up the pluteus in a little butter til liquid is cooked down salt, pepper, and add it to a cheese, onion, sausage omelet! And the mica caps make the best tasting cream of mushroom soup! Makes me want to get back out there 😄

    I like deer mushrooms (and mica caps) fine. They're not going to stand out in a dish for better or worse, but it's nice to be able to add a little fresh mushroom into a meal when there's not much out there.

    • @michellemooney1460
      @michellemooney1460 Год назад +1

      @Mushroom Wonderland I've never come across anything on it making u have out of body experiences, but there is so much we still have to learn about the magnificent world of fungi. If u have a credible source that has experienced it first hand then I will keep that in mind to not use too much at once! I give it to my dog who has been having issues after the vet's damaged him with all of their toxic medications from big pharma that left him unable to breakdown his food. Since he has been on a blend of artist conk, turkey tail, reishi, and lions mane he is slowly improving. Mushrooms r truly powerful, life saving gifts. Ty for all of ur videos. I have learned so much from u.

    I was real worried for a bit there this year with May being as dry as it has been and summer coming up. The rains over this week have been very welcomed. I've seen Paul Stamets eat Ganoderma oregonense, but only if you find it when it's still young and soft enough to cut.

    • @mushroomwonderland1
      @mushroomwonderland1  Год назад +1

      That is true. I've eaten it that way too! Just sliced the outermost white edge off of the new growth. It was very soft when I found a prime specimen, so we fried it in a little bit of oil with a little bit of salt. It was bland almost bitter and pretty unremarkable. But I felt really good after eating it!

    GREAT CONTENT BUT 1 SUGGESTION FOR VISUAL LERNERS LIKE MYSELF, ALWAYS PUT EDIBLE IN GREEN LETTERS & INEDIBLE IN RED. 1 MUSHROOM IN THIS VIDEO WAS INEDIBLE & WAS WRITTEN IN A LIGHT GREEN, ALMOST YELLOW BUT I SAW & INTERPRITED AS EDIBLE & ALMOST MISSED THAT IT SAID INEDIBLE. MAYBE USE THE WORD TOXIC INSTEAD OF INEDIBLE AS IT IS LESS LIKELY TO MISINTERPRET. ALSO THE MEDICINAL/NON EDIBLE ONE JUST NOW THREW ME OFF WHILE TYPING THIS.
    YOU CAN CONSUME IT FOR MEDICINE BJT NOT AS A FOOD SOURCE.

    • @mushroomwonderland1
      @mushroomwonderland1  Год назад

      I definitely will make the distinction between toxic and inedible. When I say inedible I do mean that it's tough like wood, or unpalatable but not toxic. Toxic mushrooms I definitely put in red, inedible I put in yellow because you could potentially simmer or pressure cook them until they were soft enough to consume, but most people wouldn't. Appreciate the feedback though.
