    Hey Adam, just wanted to let you know that your videos and course have been invaluable to me over this last 6 months. I purchased a farm in your area and your videos have helped me identify numerous species of mushroom, as well as give me the confidence to actually add them too the cook pot!

      Man a Farm in the USA is my absolute dream!
      I have a nice 300 year old house with a decent garden in a small german village and the forest is near.
      But Germany is so densely populated compared to the rural USA.
      The huge open land that american farms have is so unbelievably beautiful to me and gives me a feeling of space that I often can’t satisfy here in Germany.
      Luckily I’m living at the foot of the Harz Mountains I can wander into the forests that are left (they are almost all destroyed these days, climate Change made a specific beetle come over that destroys all the spruces..) and feel that calm feeling of solitude.

    I've done this before with trees and other plants. One time in my backyard, I saw trumpet vine flowers (Campsis radicans) on the ground near the fence line between my and the neighbor's property. I was confused because we don't have a trumpet vine. So i kept looking up into the trees (both properties have lots of pines and oaks). Finally I saw a wild trumpet vine wrapped around my neighbor's pine tree. It has wrapped around the full height of the tree, maybe 60 ft. It was in full bloom and gorgeous.

    Thank you (again) for the helpful education about native trees and mushrooms. I live near the coast of Lake Michigan and am conserving my land to provide educational, inspirational and therapeutic experiences. My connections with trees is intuitive but I find I need to learn as much as I can to help others connect/reconnect with nature. Your work is very valuable.

    Tilia americana/American basswood is my favourite tree leave to eat.
    Better in the spring but still OK later, and I also like the buds in the winter.
    In my area (more in the North) all populus tree leaves have a somewhat flat petiole (stalk of the leaf) which helps identification. Not sure it is like that everywhere though...
    Thanks for your excellent videos Adam.

  • @scottsmith8546
    @scottsmith8546 11 месяцев назад +11

    Well done Adam! I live in Mid-western Michigan and we do have all the trees you've named there and then some. When I walk through the woods during each season, I seem to always notice something I've not seen before, but it's usually from a tree I've known, but at different parts of the years, there is change....except the bark, from the bottom upwards to the twigs there are unique characteristics from each segment, but it's always the same for each type of tree and that's my biggest clue. The cottonwoods, maples, and oaks are the most prolific in my area, but there are also a few of m;any others, with my favorites being the "Bone trees" Sycamores.

    Hi there, Adam! I've been watching your videos for the last three or four years and I have not said it before but thank you for making this content. I live around your area in WPA but I never knew much about our local flora until I started watching your videos. Ever since I watched your video about Chicken of the Woods, I've fallen in love with mushroom hunting and mushrooms in general. I've always been very passionate about nature but your videos helped push me towards further learning and now I'm able to comfortably and safely harvest several varieties.
    Your educational content has absolutely been reaching and changing the lives of so many people. Thank you for leacing such an impact on my life and helping me to discover my love of mushrooms and our local forests!!

    I saw the thumbnail and I knew it was a Magnolia tree since that is what we have in front our home. But I live in California and it looks a little different. It has thick leaves, glossy green on one side and brown and fuzzy on the other with neat looking cones and red seeds. The flowers are giant and they open up like lotus flowers. A very pretty tree and it’s easy to rake up the leaves.

    I gotta admit... when you would point out a tree I would think..."yup ... it's a tree!" It was comical to me that you were mentioning the tree that you would miss were it not for the leaves because the bark pattern isn't very distinctive. That is how I feel about most of what you talked about, lol. Yup.. it's a leaf!
    I do so enjoy your videos! When the chaos settles this winter... when I feel like I'm ready to tackle learning mushrooms... you are number one on my list to binge watch and then go try practical application! I'm really looking forward to that. Every time I watch a video I wish that you could walk in the woods with me and answer every single one of my, "what's THIS one and what does IT do!?!?!?" lol thank you for making these videos!

  • @christineedwards4865
    @christineedwards4865 11 месяцев назад +4

    Lots of great information, as always. I didn't realize there was a mycena that grew specifically from walnuts, or a mushroom associated with cucumber magnolia fruits. (They're often called "mountain magnolias" here in VA.) Are you familiar with an herbaceous plant that makes a similar looking fruit to a cucumber magnolia, a cluster of red berries but the cluster is long-ish, not like ginseng? It senesced already and the leaves are missing, either eaten by deer or rotted away.

    The vastness of your knowledge is astounding. Will that cute little mushroom help that hickory nut grow? Or the other on the magnolia cone. I've not noticed this on my star magnolia litter. Just little green droppings that turn black. Later the cones with bright red fruits pop out and falls. Then tiny furry rabbit feet grow on the branch ends over winter. They become the gorgeous fragrant multi petaled flowers! Thanks. I learn so much from you!

    Hi Adam, on an off topic note. I found what to my untrained eye is American Ash standing unscathed in the center of beetle kill and beetle damage central. I am not a forrester or up on the subject, I would like to propagate from it. Or pass it off to someone who can. In the middle of standing dead, and half dead, bark split, and tops broke out, there is one Ash standing proud.

    Thanks for your new video. I live in south central Ohio and our weather isn't all that different from yours. I used to live in Western PA in Monongahela. This was long before I knew what morel or oyster mushrooms were. Here in Ohio, morels are THE mushroom to hunt in the spring, but I learned about oysters and much prefer them.
    Anyway, I really appreciate your videos, as I'm always looking to learn more about nature and foraging in the forest and meadows, too.

  • @gibbersking6575

    Good golly! I am sitting with my mouth open at how you identify the trees from the trunks/bark. They all (almost) look the same to me. The leaves, different from one another, yes. But those trunks? I'd never be able to identify them that way. Which is fine. I don't need that to enjoy the tree :). I'm just so impressed by that skill!

I have many questions but will today ask about a white star Magnolia my mom planted about 33 years ago. The fall clues are a perfect match to the native cucumber Magnolia. Some young trees seem to be growing where I compost the leaves in the woods. Might they be invasive to my area in northeast PA. ? Should I plant more where the white ash has been killed off ? I have hundreds of the orangey red seeds.

    I spent 11 years as a kid up in central Ohio and I knew there northern Magnolia variants but I had never seen any. I'm from the south, I live on the Mississippi gulf coast and southern Magnolias are everywhere here, it's our state tree so I recognized it as a Magnolia from the thumbnail. The leaves from southern Magnolias have a really interesting and pleasant smell, people here sometimes dry them and use pieces of the leaf as a substitute for bay leaves when cooking. I wonder if any northern variants are similar in that aspect, but of course to anyone reading this do your research before eating anything :P

    And do this.
    Bark, seed, flower, leaf. ECT.
    I'm in NH and I'm learning all this. Started with whetherci can burn inside to heat , hard woods like oak, maple, , or not, soft pitch woods, like pines .. and fuel woods, like bitch. Which I can start a fire with but not burn much or like pine creates alot of creosote.
    But I love learning all of it, not just what I need to know to harvest firewood.
    I'm watching a new old pine woods, turn into a hardwood forest and I'm tossing in edible trees and bushes.
    ( old new, 50 yrs ago there were rows of chicken coops that when stopped pines grew, now others are taking over and only 5 momma pines are surviving but now snapping. All the babies have dried out and dying all 50 to 120 feet or more.
