Love this guy...he is always well studied & knows the material. And his passion for this is not only extremely evident, but contagious.
Yep he's #1
Awesome information!!
Sir, you impressed me with your presentation. Well done. I just found about 25lbs of Chicken of the Woods on a recent hike in the woods. I wanted to confirm that I have the right mushroom before I eat it and it looks like I'm good to go!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
If it is growing on a Yew tree this is not edible.
Was it okay to eat?
@@locasaly563 I think his lack of response gives you your answer ;)
For newbies, you are never good to go. If you can't positively identify it do not eat it.
I can positively identify green backs and chicken of the woods. Even so I ate not more than a teaspoon the first day, easy enough with a green back,but so fusterating with the chickens. Three big skillets full and only one tiny bite before I froze them. Not everyone can eat wheat and not everyone can handle mushrooms that don't bother anyone else.
Adam, I really love your videos. It really inspires people to learn and enjoy nature, especially the fungi species. It was so interesting I just found "Chicken of the Woods" mushrooms in the front of my house in Front Royal, Virginia. It was under the Oak trees, and I saw a space between the tree to that mushrooms. After searching, and watching your videos, I think I got Laetiporus Cincinnatus. They have very bright orange color on the top, and the margins are very slight yellow, and the other side has whitish color, and no gills at all. So happy to find them, and I cooked awesome dinner with those "Chicken of the Woods". I really hope it will grow again soon. I really enjoyed to harvest them and even made my own video to talk a little bit about this mushroom after searching and watching many videos, and reading the books. Wow! I really love the bright color of this mushrooms. After harvesting this mushrooms, cooking and having awesome dinner, I am totally in love with wild mushrooms hunting now. Thanks so much for all your very informative videos:).
Great video. Your enthusiasm makes watching the video more enjoyable. Also, the recipes add a nice touch.
+Yong Kim Thanks for the kind words!
Yes, your videos are great! More recipes wouldn't hurt either :D
Just got a batch, can't wait to try them! Great video!
@@LearnYourLandare the chanterelles edible because you said a tasty mistake because I took that as it was a tasty edible look alike of chicken of the woods
You are such a good speaker. Keep up the good work!! Thank You
a anti-fungal mushroom... nature has done something insane.
I know, right?
Mother Nature is amazing! Won't be long before we'll be using these mushroom extract to fight infections...
penicillin comes from bread mold which is a fungus. Pretty cool how is was discovered, too.
None competing species. They likely evolved together, to respect their distance and invade on each other
Mason T literally the anti-mushroom
It's very impressive how much information you can draw from memory. Love your videos.
Thank You! You explained this mushroom so thoroughly and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Came across this mushroom today while walking in the woods and sent a photo to a friend who identified it. Going back to pick some!
Your videos are a awesome. I love the fact that you tie them back into recent scientific research.
Thanks, Robert! Glad you enjoy them.
I had this in my yard for the first time this year in Lower Michigan.
I envy how healthy you look. Your knowledge has paid off brother. And I've seen your recent videos. You look even healthier. Much love and thanks
Hi Adam just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your videos on fungi! I was cutting the lawn last week and saw a COW growing out of the top of an old oak log but didn't know what it was other then some kind of mushroom. I took a picture of it thinking I would get on RUclips and see what I could find and there you are!! Now that its a week later and I found you just today, the COW is in fade mode (as in getting pale) I wont pick it this year but I sure will mark my calendar to watch for it next year!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful info.
i found my first chicken of the woods hiking yesterday and came straight to you to confirm. i'm so excited!!! been wanting to try these for a while. you're so beautiful ! thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
I have used this mushroom in the past and it tastes great.
With all the rain in Maryland and PA this past week, they are popping up like crazy. I could fill a pickup with the ones growing behind my work in Baltimore. If you're in PA, MD or DE, now is the time to look.
This year has been insane. I wan't really into Mushroom Foraging until I did some hiking this year. The quantity and variety has been beyond insane. I could spend all day gathering individual mushrooms for a week and not even get two of the same kind. It's been out of control this year. But in a good way. If you're a fungus.
@@account-not-found-try-again I was just starting to think about going back out on a search. I haven't so far. Spent the summer at the beach and haven't made the transition yet. But I will be going out soon.
I'm a total noob, so I don't have any books to recommend or suggest. My interest was piqued by a co-worker and a couple of Podcasts.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. These are my favorite mushrooms to find while camping. Always impresses my friends when I bring some back to camp and cook it up.
Thank you. Very well done video. You are a great speaker.
Really impressive how you flow through all these details and names! You have did a great job making it!
Some years ago, my friend found some supposed chicken in the woods, and yes, as you said... in for a few rough days... Thanks again!
Your intelligence and positivity are delightful. Thank you for making informative videos that are enjoyable to watch. c:
Thank you Amanda! Glad you enjoy these videos.

Chicken Of The Woods : Im about to end this mushroom's whole career
Lmao
Loved the video. Just found a bunch of chickens and hens this week in Indiana. I generally throw out the "woody" parts of the mushrooms.
Mmm, cincinatus is so tasty, plus the whole mushroom is tender and tasty, even the stem. I got one a couple of years ago that weighed about 8 lbs, it took a couple months to eat, it stayed fresh in my fridge the whole time. Mmmm.
Great video! My first edible mushroom is Chicken Of The Woods.
Dude!Tons of info delivered clearly and quickly.Much appreciated.Any tips on preservation?I've tried freezing the excess of my harvest this fall.Am curious to see how it cooks up this winter.
Care to give us any feedback? It's been 2 years. How did it go?
Awesome video i like how you take the time to explain things so well with clear pictures of possible bad mushrooms. Your a great teacher
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for making additional videos on individual species and look a likes. Very informative.
You are amazingly knowledgeable and informative! Thank you! I just found a chicken of the woods but I’ve been told by a lady it is not one but she thinks I’m talking about Hen of the Woods. I wish I could email you a photo and chat with you for information. I just don’t want to get sick or hurt my family. Either way thank you so much.
As an unhealthy senior am looking for healthy mushrooms. Thought there were only a few potent oriental medicinal mushroom. Seeing there is good stuff in my backyard woodlot (NW NJ). Wish there was a way to test them since mushroom are so bioremediative.
Thanks for your thorough description and the educational aspects of this presentation. Great job!
Dude, today is the first time since we moved to western PA that we went hinking. I'm looking for Hens and what does the novice wife find but a TON of Chickens! Your video clearly id'd them, beginners luck!
Awesome!

I salute you ,you are very well informed.Congrats.
Thank you.
Can't thank you enough for all your information!! Also thanks for putting some of the words on the video. That way I can have the correct spelling when I do my on research- not that I doubt you but I always check into things as deeply as I can. LOVE you!!
Thanks, Kimberly!
I found Jack o lantern mushrooms before I'd even heard of chicken of the woods. Took a specimen home, dried it out and displayed it in an ornamental purple glass bottle for Halloween. :D
well done. thank you for this great content
Love the video, I will try my first tonight. Might just try your recipe!
"That's a very tasty mistake to make" :-)
Indeed. :D

Great video!
Thank you!
Wonderfully informative! Thank you so much.
You're welcome, thanks for watching! -Adam
Fantastic as always!
I cane across your channel yesterday by coincidence and I've been enjoying it for hours. I'm live in the Scranton / Wilkes-Barre area of Pa and I can't wait to had out this weekend looking for some of the plants you've shown. Is there anywhere in particular I should look for this mushroom come September? Like certain areas near water or any special tree it grows on the most. Thank you
Hi - I found mine on the forest floor, too, but it's definitely a C.o.t.W. - the lighter orange variety with the white underside. It was magificent: I took a photo but don't know how to post it to this page.
Yes - L. cincinnatus tends to grow at the bases of trees. If you'd like to send a photo, you can use this email address: adam [at] learnyourland [dot] com
Great vid! Super helpful and informative ☺️
Appreciate your content, bud...
This video was amazing, thank you!
This lad really knows his stuff..
another well done video!
Thanks, Dennis!
I love chicken of the woods.
Thank you
Thanks for a great video, I have one growing on a Gean Cherry tree in my garden in UK. Bit scared to try it though!
I really enjoyed this video and the way you explained things thanks. Good video! (y)
+Infinite Outdoors Thanks!
Great info. Learned of this mushroom from watching the show: Race to Survive: Alaska 1:5
nice video mang.
Hey, man. I love your video! I've been able to harvest and eat this mushroom today, and it was great. I was just wondering what the song was you used in your opening. Thanks!
Adam, you mention “medicinal strategy” in a number of your videos. I am not totally clear on what this means other than the obvious that it’s an approach to improving ones whole health. Can you guide me to any info that has inspired your journey and medicinal strategy?
Thanks great video. You should blink and relax a little. I thought you might be one of the LZ🦎 people for a second. Other wise really good video and info. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great information!
You're welcome!
Thanks
great video
Thanks, Carolyn!
Hello. How do I join the LYL community? Want to learn to forage for fungus.
What looks like chicken of the woods, grows on dead wood, does not have a stalk, but has gills on the bottom instead of pores?
New sub here also from PA!
New to muhroom hunting and so far everything i found except one type of mushroom has been past its prime. Today i found my first chicken of the woods and it was dull in color and buggy. Heard if you cut them 2 inches back will help them regrow? Is this true?
Great video
awesome video sir......
Thanks!
I found some today, in may in the netherlands. ..is that too early, could it be something else?
I’ve heard that COW should be blanched before freezing. Is it safe if frozen raw?
You are amazing!!!!!
Thanks, Yanett! The mushrooms help with that a whole lot.
Hi Adam, a sub of mine (from my spider channel) recommended your channel to me and used you to ID some colorful mushrooms that I filmed in my 4th video of my trip to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. I will be going back there as I didn't get to do all that I would have liked as I ran out of time! I have only watched this one video of yours, and I already love what you do and how you do it! So tell me, do you have a script or are you just shooting from the hip! lol. You bring a wealth of info to your "hobby" and make it enjoyable and interesting! Would like to connect with you some time! PS: subbing as well to learn more about the things I run into on my spider hunts, other than just spiders. Great work!
Where can I find these in Florida?
Adam I have a mushroom I believe is chicken of the woods could you help me identify it?
Great video :)
Thanks!
Does Chicken of the Woods emit a sulfur/rotten egg odor?
Hey I found a large colony of birch trees with birch poly pore mushrooms near my house last year. Can I take those and make a tincture with some vodka?
+Andrzej czar Yes, absolutely. Birch polypore contains betulinic acid, the same compound found in chaga that is derived from the birch tree and shown to demonstrate pharmacological activity. It also contains lupeol and several other compounds.
Do you recommend a field book I can pick up to take with me in the woods
Love your videos! Just curious about what degree(s) you have....horticultural?
Is this related to Turkey Tail? ...or completely different medicine?
They're somewhat related, as they're both polypore mushrooms. But their medicinal profile is vastly different. Turkey Tail, in my opinion, is a much more potent medicine.
Washington state
Where am I
Found a few jack o lanterns today
Beautiful mushrooms... always a pleasure to find.
This is not common as edible mushroom here in the Philippines
Anti-fungal compound in a fungus? Interesting.
Do you have an email where i can contact you?
You are one amazing young teacher. I realize this particular vid is several years old now but I am thinking that you should do plant and mushroom identification walks. I as an old person of the woods have learned a lot from your teachings. Keep up the great works and things you are doing. Above all keep teaching...
Your public speaking on such complex subject is incredibly impressive! Big words and beautiful flow as you explain everything needed.
Thank you for the info, wow.
Love this: "Chicken of the woods . . . has the ability and the power to brighten your day literally, metaphorically, and metaphysically speaking . . ."
Chicken of the woods are some of my favorite mushrooms to eat! Right now, I am really enjoying them with bbq sauce or as chicken parm.
Found the other day~after torrential rains~wasn't there 2 days before & yet when i found them>>they were on their way out already.....
Had seen so many pix was sure what it was-even though *brighter ORANGE - ALMOST RED*.
Was SO excited, i cleaned really well-had to throw out much, though saved the "tougher part for the winter".
~BUT IT was so large, two actually. Maybe it was ITS *AGE* but it DID TASTE LIKE CHICKEN; although it tasted like *very DRY chicken breasts*. AS i waste nothing edible or medicinal-i cooked in homegrown tomatoes & ate some>the rest will go in the freezer for soups cooked on wood-stove, which is like a CROCK POT.
*_THANKS as always Adam_* as i really was *unaware of MEDICINAL PROPERTIES* plus *you always TEACH me at least one thing i don't/didn't KNOW-usually more in I.D factors*
*PeAcE & GRATITUDE as always --"another appreciative loyal follower"*
regena
remarkably well versed young man! excellent all en-compasing review. Just found 3-4lbs in the HH's off Nichols Cyn. thank you
Great video. I am learning about mushrooms and have seen so many horrible vids on the subject...nice to hear someone who knows wtf they're talking about. Good on ya mate!
+HunterOrock Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
If its yellow and orange and underside has thousands of microscopic pores, chances are you've got spongebob
STILL tastes good saute'd in butter.
Fuckin hell 😂😂
Maybe his wife. The ruffling is more like a dress than pants! 🤣
Common habitats include pineapples and Crab Shacks under water.
Dude you are so smart I’m envious 😂✊🏼 good shit man
Fascinating! I didnt know this species had a medicinal value, will definitely add this one to my Reishi and Chaga regimens. Thanks again Adam cant wait for your next post when the weather warms up again. Just subscribed, which i never do for any channels
Very useful vid :) new subscriber from France
Love all mushrooms and walks in the woods :)
Thanks for the video man! How old are you? You seem like a very straight arrow, very enthusiastic and energetic. I really appreciate those that are able to be instructional and inspiring in thier information translation; well done; I will be watching more!
Thanks for the kind words! I suppose I'm somewhere between young and old... though mushrooms definitely keep me on the younger side.
@@LearnYourLand wisdom keeps you young too...your videos have me dropping weight, getting stronger and mentally stimulated.....
Thanks for your scholarship....the effort shows....
SCORE! Found some. Thank you so much for helping me identify it. It's going into breakfast tomorrow.
Thanks for the video! I just came across some of these on a hike in mid-August. I suspected they were Chicken of the Woods, but I'm inexperienced in mushrooming and didn't want to take a chance if I'd misidentified them. Your video cleared that up for me, and I'll harvest some the next time I see some.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
I remember seeing this hunting deer but had no idea what it was. I wish I had learned this when I was a kid because as I learn more I realize I missed a lot. Thanks
Seeing it around when you're in a good place to find deer is probably no coincidence. Might also be a good place to look for rose hips! Deer love those too.
awesome Adam love the work and knowledge you emit on your videos 👍👍👍
