Adam I hope you get your own show on TV, I love your channel and your presentation style. It's also great to get deeper info, both on a scientific and cultural level. A very strong balance that I can't get enough of!
Bill Brown Unfortunately to have a show this informative and helpful on mainstream tv would be swatted down in a heartbeat by big gov.. then It would be squashed beyond recognition before it even made it in the door.. This type of beneficial stuff is the governments enemy.
Thanks to you, Adam. I just had a wonderfully tasty treat. It was the first time I've ever picked my own wild mushroom. I felt safe with this one. You are a star.
Thank you so much for these videos. My son and I were out trying to find our first morels and i saw what I thought was dryad's saddle (from watching your videos). I came back home and watched this video again and was able to harvest my first wild mushrooms. My son is really good at spotting them, and we came home with an entire bag full.
My Neighbor has cancer. I stepped around her house and found 5 nice ones. I told her that medicine often is found closeby. You just confirmed what I suspected. Thanks for taking the time to make super informative and well done vids!
These mushrooms have started popping up everywhere on my farm in East TN this week. Thanks to your videos I was able to identify it, and will give them a try.
I just love your enthusiasm. It's 11:30 at night and I want to go run out in the woods and look for this right now after watching. Thanks for working so hard to learn your land and for sharing what you know.
You're an amazing individual. Because of you I am capable of eating better then I ever have! I hope many more people find you and use the information you give away freely due to the valuable nature of what you say.
You make the best wild mushroom video's I've seen.Very thorough and you include little tidbits that i haven't heard others mention. The video and sound is optimal also. Great work!
Thank you so much for this! I found a dryad saddle while morel hunting this morning. now I’m sitting here binge watching your videos with a bowl of dryadcream sauce over noodles!
thanks again Adam. This year was the first I ever took notice to the dryads saddle. Maybe because there was so many of them. I told my morel hunting friends that I would have to look up what kind they were but before I got a chance you posted a video on them. you are so very informative and I always look forward to your videos. my friends and I say that we feel smarter listening to you talk. If only feelings counted.
When I first started foraging mushrooms, I passed up a fallen tree covered with hundreds of interesting mushrooms.. I didn't have my camera with me but I took a sample home.. Later I discovered that they were oysters but a diferent color from my field guide.. By the time I got back there, they were all ruined.. That was about 10 lbs of choice mushrooms.. Now, I take my camera everywhere I go.. When I see something I don't recognize, I take a shot and a sample for later identification.. Since I now have a smartphone, I also take it and can look-up the item as I look-at it..
It is the consolation prize! I find these every year when i go out looking for morels and i found way more dryads this year so far than morels. I didnt know the medicinal or the nutritional value just that i love the way it tastes and smells so thanks for that Adam. This is probably my favorite mushroom to eat. This will be the 1st time i will be dehydrating the thicker ones. i didn't know you could do this so I'm excited about it. I have learned a lot of new things this year. Thanks again Adam!
Thanks Adam, I did just harvest a large specimen today on a living tree not for eating but rather to make a tea. It was great to watch another fantastic video from you.
I found this video while searching for information on preserving Morel mushrooms. I harvested quite a few Dryad's saddles with my morels and thanks to your information, was able to saute some for dinner and put some in the dehydrator. Thank you so much!
I literaly just found one of these earlier today and took a picture to identify later, now this shows up on my recommended... I'm getting out my tinfoil hat
Just found like 25 pounds of "Dryads Saddle," .......It was amazing! sauted with butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it was better than I imagined. I think I enjoyed it more than "Chicken of the woods." Thank you for your shared knowledge 🙏
dryad's saddles do have a wonderful flavor even though I have found them all to be too tough to eat.. I dry then powder them to use in teas, soups, broths, omletes and just about everything.. The powder can also be sprinkled on salads, steaks, sandwiches, etc...
8:11 I actually found a quite large specimen today and the entire thing was moist and fresh, much larger than the ones you said were the maximum size you'd recommend. It tastes good too, eating some right now.
Love your videos buddy. Regarding when the Dryad Saddle is fully edible, I've found that just as long as the pores haven't started to open so the underside still looks 'smooth', the whole mushroom is still tender- I found a few this year that were 12 inches in width that were absolutely fine! Also to note - used as a substitute for meat in a chow mein and was delicious!
This was the first wild mushroom I ever learned to identify! Even though its watermelon scent is unmistakable, I did get nervous eating these at first, but thankfully I have learned how to identify it and have found some later season dryad's saddle! Thanks for this video. I was so excited to see some fresh dryad's saddle in late August, even though this is more of a spring mushroom. It is so lucky that this mushroom has such a distinct scent, which makes it difficult to confuse with other wild mushrooms.
Thanks!! Found some of those today on an ash that's distressed due to ash borers. Out of season, sure, but it's been a very strange start to autumn - mini-drought in our area, after a very hot summer. These guys sprouted up almost overnight after some rain. My first harvest of these and I'm pretty excited.
I foraged this and cooked it up for the first time today. I used avocado oil, sprinkled some salt on it, the mushroom had gotten a little dry and omg I loved it, tasted like bacon or jerky, really excellent flavor and not too chewy. I didn't smell cucumber or watermelon rind, it smelled like mushroom, any time I smell a mushroom, some smell stronger or better than others, but it's always mushroom. 🤷♀️ This has easily become one of my favorites quickly, have some old ones, going to dehydrate them, thank you so much for the idea, I didn't want them to go to waste. Morels grow by the same tree that dryad's saddle grows on? I didn't even look... lol awesome video!
I found one of these today and ate it for the first time! Thanks for making these videos, they are very informative and I love your passion for eating a natural diet straight from nature 💕
Picked these today. My first mushroom foraging day after watching lots of your videos!! Sauteed up in butter with garlic over toast w a slice if gruyere cheese!!! Yummmmm!!!! Live your videos! So much great information!!!!!
Thanks so much Adam. I found a bunch of these mushrooms today, on a fallen sugar maple, while picking about 30 pounds of fiddleheads near Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada. It really caught my eye, like it was full of dark brown feathers, and there's really no new mushrooms growing here yet, so that seemed odd too. It's about 4-5" diameter, soft and very clean looking, so I figured it should be edible. Came to RUclips for more info and found your video first. Just subscribed to your channel yesterday and learning a ton of good stuff already. Going to go cut up some onions and Garlic now and fry some up.
I love learning about stuff like this, especially when I e seen it around all my life, and never knew. Your videos are amazing, your enthusiasm is obvious. Sometimes you're maybe a tad too enthusiastic and blast the info a little too much, too fast, but they're still the best out there.
That was a very good tutorial. As a new mushroom Hunter I found my first 2 smalls on a living maple tree in my yard...consulted 2 field guides and your video, they are without a doubt pheasant back, they were 10 feet up the tree where a large branch broke off many years ago. I really enjoyed your video, subbed.
Never seen this mushroom before, until today. And found dozens, maybe hundreds! All on old dead or dying elm trees, as you suggested. Near a small river. Most were too old to eat, but picked a few younger ones to try out. Thanks for all the tips and information Adam!!
This is SUPER good to know! I harvest some Pheasants Back a few months ago and cooked it but I hated it lol, and now I know why. 1) I tried to bake the pieces with oil and peppers and onions to make fajitas....I guess the baking dried it out. 2) I harvested HUGE specimen, and used almost all of it. So I must've eaten some older, tougher pieces. This is super good to know and I'm excited to forage for these next year and try again!
Thank you so much... I am teaching my self and you are so great... Im going to taste Dryad's Saddle and Old Man of the Woods tonight. Love your presentation.
I found my first Morel and Dryad Saddle today! Only one of each but there's more rain to fall and sun to shine ☀️☀️☀️I love your videos and headband😉many thanks!
another great video, glad you gave this one some proper attention. One of my favorite parts of watching your videos is realizing all the Latin names I've been butchering
OMG thank you soo much I've seen these by the literately the 1000's across from my parents home. Have ALWAYS wondered if they're edible. Guess what's for lunch tomorrow☺
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me correctly identify a beautiful dryads saddle specimen. And love your tips for preparation and cooking as well.
Holy crap man, I wrote my comment even before I viewed your video, and it was funny to hear you use the same term about this mushroom being the consolation prize. LOL!!!
The smell is definitely unique. It's so SWEET smelling, like you're inhaling sugar, It just rained yesterday and they got saturated full of water, so even the big ones were nice and supple
Super informative video! I'm just starting to get into wild mushroom foraging. I harvested my first dryad's saddle today and fried it in vegan butter and garlic. It was reaaaally tasty!
I find it difficult to remember all the Latin names, though when I figure out what those words actually mean, recalling them becomes much easier! Thanks for watching.
Just found your channel. Very professionally done and great video work! I live in Oregon so i have some great mushroom picking territory. You really have a gift for teaching. I’m learning so much from you! Keep up the great work here! Obviously subscribed and liked ! I wish there were some way to give a special ‘like’ that would tell others “this is a very high quality education channel” id give you one of those if i could🍄🏆🥇🎖🏅5️⃣⭐️’s
Your awesome I don’t know how you remember all the scientific names but your pretty damn smart I’ve learned a lot from you thanks from Massachusetts’s!!!!!
Outstanding video. Identified some yesterday with the National Audubon Society's Field Guide to Mushrooms, after finding a sizable cache. I was following your cooking directions and accidentally added a half cup of decent white wine (legit, my wife had some in a jam jar glass normally used for water ;-) and, well, give it a try! Both my sons gave it a thumbs up and they sure don't easily do so. All your videos are mighty appreciated BTW, I almost want to archive them in case a solar flare meets our weakening magnetic shield with too much gusto, but I digress.
Thank you very much Adam , nice video and good stuff to know about this interesting mushroom ! Our daughter discovered our first last year and enjoyed eating it . This year ( last week) on the same fallen tree we found at least ten fruiting bodies of different stage of development . Harvested about 6 chunks but should be able to get at least 6 more today 😊. Regards , Essex , UK .
This year in England, I have found pheasant back and chicken of the woods. But unfortunately they were both too old to consume. But always a pleasure to recognise a potentially edible mushroom.
I live in Berlin Germany a city full of trees and forests This year early Sept I came across this over from my apartment .Took images and then identified .Yes it did smell of water melon...Have left mine and watched each day .Made a film yesterday Mainly of the shots in early day and now as it looks to be rotting .Great knowing it will come back next year My version looked like a plates in a rack so will call it the Dinner Service ..Posted a video yesterday Really enjoyed this , especially hearing it's good for the immune system ...👍
Score:) Adam, you hit the nail on the head with this video. I just found my first fruitings of Dryad Saddle, and you're right, it's unmistakable... in September too, go figure.
Adam I hope you get your own show on TV, I love your channel and your presentation style. It's also great to get deeper info, both on a scientific and cultural level. A very strong balance that I can't get enough of!
Hey Bill, thanks for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying these videos.
Bill Brown Unfortunately to have a show this informative and helpful on mainstream tv would be swatted down in a heartbeat by big gov.. then It would be squashed beyond recognition before it even made it in the door.. This type of beneficial stuff is the governments enemy.
Be careful of you tube they are cracking down on any free thinkers!
Completely agree ! Would love to watch it. Such amassing and important knowledge !
Really like how you speak to us that don’t have a lot of knowledge on mushrooms, thank you👍
Thanks to you, Adam. I just had a wonderfully tasty treat. It was the first time I've ever picked my own wild mushroom. I felt safe with this one. You are a star.
Just to let you know. I watch all of your videos, and have learned a lot from them. Just want to say thank you for your knowledge.
dude, you are a beautiful soul, thank a lot for your vids, Love ya dude, please keep it up.
Thank you so much for these videos. My son and I were out trying to find our first morels and i saw what I thought was dryad's saddle (from watching your videos). I came back home and watched this video again and was able to harvest my first wild mushrooms. My son is really good at spotting them, and we came home with an entire bag full.
My Neighbor has cancer. I stepped around her house and found 5 nice ones. I told her that medicine often is found closeby. You just confirmed what I suspected. Thanks for taking the time to make super informative and well done vids!
You're welcome, Jay. And you're right... it seems that all the medicine we need is just a tree stump away.
These mushrooms have started popping up everywhere on my farm in East TN this week. Thanks to your videos I was able to identify it, and will give them a try.
Makes me want to get out in the woods. When I’m in the woods I have no worries no neg thoughts it’s my favorite place 🍄🌱🌲🥀🌾🌳
Thank You! This is important information. Every state needs someone like you informing the natives of the local bounty.
I just love your enthusiasm. It's 11:30 at night and I want to go run out in the woods and look for this right now after watching. Thanks for working so hard to learn your land and for sharing what you know.
It may be a little late but,
Whitney if you're going to run out into the woods, at night, to look for mushrooms... at least put on a robe.
You're an amazing individual. Because of you I am capable of eating better then I ever have! I hope many more people find you and use the information you give away freely due to the valuable nature of what you say.
Dryad's saddle is the consolation (2nd place) prize for not finding Morels, I have always been told. LOL!!
B Charron sums up my morel hunt in northern wisconsin yesterday :p
Its sums up most peoples hunt. It took me 5 years afterall to find my first morels. :)
Yup exactly
That’s exactly how mushroom hunting today went for me. lol 2nd place woohoo!
You make the best wild mushroom video's I've seen.Very thorough and you include little tidbits that i haven't heard others mention. The video and sound is optimal also. Great work!

These grow like craaazy across the street from my parents house. Like 1000 Of them! I'm sooo glad I found this channel ☺
I wonder what it is if it has gills lmao
same here but i was also typing identifying characteristics into Google. i told Google those things in confidence....
ahahah its just the RUclips AI she is a sneaky little bi%$%^ hhaha
Thanks. My neighbor just gave me some today. Cooking them up right now. Thanks for the valuable information.

What does the tea taste like? Do you add anything to it?
I've had that experience, too.
Cut them into really thin slices. I find they're more edible that way.
@@carliecastillo4445 I haven't tried them as tea, just a possibility.. Maybe with a little salt more like broth..

Thanks, Jennifer!
Best description I've ever herd. Amazing job. Subbed and liked
I found my first Morel and Dryad Saddle today! Only one of each but there's more rain to fall and sun to shine
☀️☀️☀️I love your videos and headband😉many thanks!
another great video, glad you gave this one some proper attention. One of my favorite parts of watching your videos is realizing all the Latin names I've been butchering
I found this today when searching for morels and I am so excited to try it. Thank you for all your information I have learned so much from you
I love your videos man!
I'd love to go foraging with you someday!
OMG thank you soo much I've seen these by the literately the 1000's across from my parents home. Have ALWAYS wondered if they're edible. Guess what's for lunch tomorrow☺
I just found a whole bunch ... I love the woods.
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me correctly identify a beautiful dryads saddle specimen. And love your tips for preparation and cooking as well.
I found this today and just had a feeling it was edible... soooo excited now! Ty for the info!
I'm excited to look for these along with morels very soon here in Illinois. Thank you for the great video!
Hope you have a successful mushroom season ahead of you!
Thank you!
Holy crap man, I wrote my comment even before I viewed your video, and it was funny to hear you use the same term about this mushroom being the consolation prize. LOL!!!
Haha, we think alike!
The smell is definitely unique. It's so SWEET smelling, like you're inhaling sugar, It just rained yesterday and they got saturated full of water, so even the big ones were nice and supple
Before finding Adam's videos, I'd found one of these and thought "fairy's punchbowl." Thanks for all the great info, Adam!
Super informative video! I'm just starting to get into wild mushroom foraging. I harvested my first dryad's saddle today and fried it in vegan butter and garlic. It was reaaaally tasty!
Love this dude! Can't wait for his class at WCC college
Very good video, Adam:) Thank you so much, you really inspire people get into fungi world.
I found some dryad's saddle and morels today! First time, too. I was so excited.
Awesome level of detail on the fungi identification, composition and processing in this video so have a subscription!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
I found these while walking through a hike in tyringham, mass... I had no idea they were edible!! Thank you for this video :D
Your explanation of the Latin name is very helpful. We'll the whole video really but I struggle with Latin names and often look for common names.
I find it difficult to remember all the Latin names, though when I figure out what those words actually mean, recalling them becomes much easier! Thanks for watching.
Found them today and picked them for the 1st time 😊 love your channel!
Great overview, very informative!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
An excellent video, as always. Thank you!
You're welcome, and thank you!
Found some and used your video as one of many of my resources! Thanks. New sub!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Always look forward to your explanations
You're welcome, Scott. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much … I love your videos !
You’ve taught me so much about mushroom hunting. Just found some dryads saddle today
Thank you
I seen a Pheasant back on a red pine in April 2022.
Brilliant. It's the first fungi, I foraged and, ate.
Love the Dryad saddles. 😉 Onions and Butter make them delicious 😋.
You are doing a great job! God bless.
Just subscribed, definitely an awesome video look forward to more.. I'm from Central Pennsylvania
Thank you!
Nice I came across uncountable amounts of these the other day!
Just found your channel. Very professionally done and great video work! I live in Oregon so i have some great mushroom picking territory. You really have a gift for teaching. I’m learning so much from you! Keep up the great work here! Obviously subscribed and liked ! I wish there were some way to give a special ‘like’ that would tell others “this is a very high quality education channel” id give you one of those if i could🍄🏆🥇🎖🏅5️⃣⭐️’s
Salem Ohio in the house... I am now a subscriber! I love your vids...Keep them coming! Please! Hope your morels did good this year...
Your awesome I don’t know how you remember all the scientific names but your pretty damn smart I’ve learned a lot from you thanks from Massachusetts’s!!!!!
I just found one! Doing a spore print to mark the occasion as I'm not quite comfortable eating wild mushrooms yet!
I found some growing on a dead elderberry branch in Wisconsin. Thanks for your help with identifying it!
You just earned a sub. Really great content. I wish you do harvest, cook and eat vids too.
Excellent thank you ! Just found this mushroom today ..
You're welcome!
Outstanding video. Identified some yesterday with the National Audubon Society's Field Guide to Mushrooms, after finding a sizable cache. I was following your cooking directions and accidentally added a half cup of decent white wine (legit, my wife had some in a jam jar glass normally used for water ;-) and, well, give it a try! Both my sons gave it a thumbs up and they sure don't easily do so.
All your videos are mighty appreciated BTW, I almost want to archive them in case a solar flare meets our weakening magnetic shield with too much gusto, but I digress.
Thank you very much Adam , nice video and good stuff to know about this interesting mushroom !
Our daughter discovered our first last year and enjoyed eating it . This year ( last week) on the same fallen tree we found at least ten fruiting bodies of different stage of development . Harvested about 6 chunks but should be able to get at least 6 more today 😊.

Essex , UK .
great video thank you
You're a rock star. I've been binging your videos over the last couple days. All of them are excellent. Thanks!
Thanks Adam. I see a lot of them but I scare to try out, I learned a lot from you.
Seeing them everywhere while looking for morels. I made tea out of some older ones. Thanks man ✌️
You know your stuff. I've learned a lot through your youtube channel and a few websites that publish your videos too.
Adam, thanks for your videos. We just found this mushroom. Friend forwarded me this video as proof of mushroom specimen.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Love the smell of Pheasant Back.
Another informative video I never harvested this mushroom never knew what it was I will now keep y eyes open for it.
Awesome!
Another very good mushroom to look for on hikes around the woods.
This year in England, I have found pheasant back and chicken of the woods. But unfortunately they were both too old to consume. But always a pleasure to recognise a potentially edible mushroom.
I live in Berlin Germany a city full of trees and forests This year early Sept I came across this over from my apartment .Took images and then identified .Yes it did smell of water melon...Have left mine and watched each day .Made a film yesterday Mainly of the shots in early day and now as it looks to be rotting .Great knowing it will come back next year My version looked like a plates in a rack so will call it the Dinner Service ..Posted a video yesterday Really enjoyed this , especially hearing it's good for the immune system ...👍
Found it, and identified it thanks to your video. I'm going to enjoy it fresh and then dry for medicine.
Awesome!
I saw some growing up in a tree the other day and I climbed it to get some. It was a wonderful experience.
Score:) Adam, you hit the nail on the head with this video. I just found my first fruitings of Dryad Saddle, and you're right, it's unmistakable... in September too, go figure.
Awesome, glad you found some!
