Ive never seen as many mushrooms as i have this year in nw Oregon. I probably found over 200 different species on a 135 acre property. Absolutely amazing.
That's amazing, isn't it?! It has truly been an incredible year here in the PNW! Fingers crossed that we get another mushroom year like this sometime in the not-too-distant future!
There's many channels of people doing trails showing us i.d of medicinals.. but what I like that you do differently is also add tips and clues to why they appear there.. sharing your thinking patterns.. such as the cottonwood twigs for morels. Thanks
I'm in Georgia, and I just found a log that's exploding with turkey tail, I harvested about 2lb and did not even dent the population. Then a few downed trees away I found a fungal pre growth of bright orange I am hoping to be chicken of the woods. Going back tomorrow after work to get a massive harvest for myself and family.
Love your channel! I've been mushroom hunting western Washington for almost 4 years now. It's an incredible journey. Always so much more to learn, I love it. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thanks so much for tuning in! Hope to bring you plenty more in the days to come - I can't wait for those Spring mushrooms! We sure are blessed to be here in Western WA, right?
So glad you're enjoying it! I'm still learning every single day too - this is a fascinating planet we've found ourselves on, right?!? Thanks for watching!
Your content is absolutely fantastic! do not stopping making it! you bring a new way of looking into mushroom hunting that is great! The way you explain things is very educational and gives a lot of the same vibes as Mushroom Wonderland but a different approach, and point of view!
Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement - I definitely plan to bring you lots more content in the days to come, and comments like this definitely add motivational fuel to the fire. Glad you enjoyed it and I can't wait to bring you more!
I really enjoyed your interesting Mushroom 🍄 Video And the Incredible Forest you were in…SOO FULL OF NATURE; my great pleasure I Wish I had Soo Much More of❣️ Thanks 🙏 Soo much for Sharing❣️
Thanks for the kinds words and thank YOU for tuning in! I'm just getting started and am hoping to bring you a lot more videos in the days to come! Stay tuned, and happy trails!
@@MushroomTrail You Bet 👍 & good luck 🍀! How I Wish I could be there in Person‼️Everything is Soo Green & Beautiful! Awesome place to explore! Happy trails to you!
I had to comment when you mentioned the weather this winter. We had a bad storm about three weeks ago. Ended up be about five feet over a few days. Then we had back to back wind storms outting our power for four days. Sounds bad right? Wrong. This was our first brown christmas in my lifetime (64 years) and we usually have had five feet or more by this time. Buffulo got hammered but the Tug Hill where I am dodge most of it. 20 - 30 feet is the norm. We have some snow now but most melted. Sorry to go on about the weather but there is a point. Every year we have a weird winter it's followed by a weird spring and summer. Last year I had to haul in water to water my gardens! They wouldn't germinate. Then after spring we got rain but temps were cold. Long story short , no reishi season... at all. No show for the second time since I've been foraging , which ain't that long. Anyhow , I enjoyed the walk in the woods and look forward to seeing more videos. Liked and subbed, happy trails.
Thanks for your comment and welcome aboard! That is a shame to miss out on the Reishi harvest - definitely the one that I look forward to finding the most! Today was 62 degrees out here in Western WA - a record high for this date... it will be interesting to see how things shake out. Already seeing things budding out, but I'm sure there's more cold on the way out here before we're done with winter. Hope my favorite plants don't get shocked too hard. Thanks for watching! More to come soon!
@@MushroomTrail Yeah we have bare ground showing and should have several feet of solid snow insulating roots. Wifes garlic is toast. Natives that have been here are dieing out. Yeah I re-arranged my schedual for reishi season. Fortunately I didn't sell all the bumper crop I got the year before. I sold 120 pounds to one customer in Cali and still have mabe 15 pounds. They were vac-sealed so still pretty potent. I've been making tinctures as fast as I can afford the booze! If the shtf I'll be a wealthy man.
@@timothylongmore7325 It definitely does! They tend to come out late August / early September and can get to be really big. Ironically, even though the summer/fall of 2022 was a horrible year for most all mushrooms out here (due to being really dry, and then a quick cold snap) it was a great year for reishi... so they seem to march to their own beat out here. But the beat is, thankfully, steady for the most part!
So glad you liked it! I'm just getting started and plan to bring you lots more content in the days to come, so stay tuned! And thanks for the positive feedback!
Quite the mushroom year indeed! This was actually all shot on an iphone while out on a trail run ... so no special lens to speak of. But I'll likely try out some improved equipment in days to come. Just getting started! Thanks for watching, and happy trails!
Thanks for tuning in! I just watched back the footage and wanted to confirm that I still believe this is turkey tail ... although I can certainly see how it looked a little tooth-like when I folded the cap back. This was filmed in January, so I think it was a little wet and had been out a fair while. There is a common lookalike out here that is toothed (Trichaptum genus) but it looks quite a bit different from those depicted here. Let me know if there was a species that you had in mind though ... I'm always happy to double back and confirm details. Turkey Tail is one of my favorites!

I totally agree!😃

@@MushroomTrail I’m on the KP myself and I have to agree it was an amazing year. Happy Trails!
Gotta love the Peninsula - no shortage of great mushroom habitat out there! See you on the mushroom trail!!
Wow first time watching one of your videos and I instantly crushed the subscribe button!!! Mush love from Norcal!
Awesome! Thank you! And welcome aboard - more to come soon!
Now im curious about ur background. Such vast knowledge and so elegantly expressed!
Thanks - I appreciate that! I'm a teacher by trade, but a learner at heart!
@@MushroomTrail I knew it! U r so good at teaching u can’t hide it! :)
Wild enoki mushrooms are beautiful!
I can only find similar poisonous mushrooms. :(
I would like to find Enoki mushrooms someday.🙂
I'm sure they will appear when you least expect them - mushrooms are funny like that! Thanks for watching and best of luck hunting the wild enoki!

Wow - that's amazing! Hope this year's Reishi season is another bumper crop - sometimes they surprise me.
@@MushroomTrail Does your strain of reishi follow a seasonal pattern? I would imagine it's temperture and moisture sensitive. I know they get big.
@@timothylongmore7325 It definitely does! They tend to come out late August / early September and can get to be really big.

@@MushroomTrailI’m in the Sierra Nevadas and have a ton of different kinds growing on my property. It’s fascinating to learn. Staying tuned.
Awesome - what a location! I've always loved the Sierra Nevadas!
That's a nice trail. We had 100s of mushrooms on our prop this year in Eastern Oregon. What lens on the camera?
Quite the mushroom year indeed! This was actually all shot on an iphone while out on a trail run ... so no special lens to speak of. But I'll likely try out some improved equipment in days to come. Just getting started!

@@MushroomTrail the eyephone does excellent 👌
I'm not convinced that was Turkey Tail. It looks more toothy than tiny pores?
