- It can seem impossible to comprehend everything that goes on beneath our feet when we walk in the woods, but it helps to have a Master Herbalist guide you. Yarrow Willard (a.k.a. the Herbal Jedi) is an educator, health activist, and nature enthusiast. His entire life has revolved around connecting with the natural world, and sharing his deep knowledge of plants and mushrooms. We went for a walk in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia to soak up some mushroom wisdom.

Great post my friend. I love and appreciate this content/ channel. 🍄🍄
Thank you for your channel. Your passion for mushrooms along with your awe and respect for the natural world comes through strong in your videos. It's clear that your aren't just about selling supplements.
Love the content you guys produce. Thank you.
Some of the shots were so beautiful
Whoaaa the collab we all needed!
RIGHT!
I just got into mushrooms really this season. I noticed them last yr. while walking on some local trails. I would stop and take a picture. Before I knew it, I was there 4 hrs. and hadn't gotten very far at all. I had to turn around and just hike out. This yr. I couldn't stay away. I can smell them. I stop and look around and my phone was just crammed full of pics. I literally couldn't go more than 10 ft. and have to stop and just a bunch of diff. types of shroom all around me. I LOVE IT. I'm HOOKED.
I live in NE Oklahoma, am Native American and IDK why, but I always go out and get wild green onions, as it's tradition. I never thought to look for morels. So I did a little research and I mean ..a little. Drove to where I thought I had the best chance at finding some. Lo and behold on my very first try. I literally parked about 15 ft. away from a patch. I was hooked. 4 out of the 5 days I hunted. I found them. I stayed well away from where people hike on the trails around the local lake. There are tons of "other" mushrooms and figured since I got a late start they'd be hunted out. Being from the area, I know all the special places many ppl don't know about. I even found my last bit of morels, as I turned a corner I thought I saw a "pine cone" sticking out from a tree in the fenceline. I pulled to the side of the road, ran back to look and sure enough, there was a small patch of 6 morels. Literally on the CORNER at a stop sign lol. I felt lucky, thanked my creator and cooked them up and ate them with scrambled eggs and wild onions. So good.
Now to start learning what all these diff. shrooms are. I only know FOR SURE what scarlet cups, oyster, turkey tail, dog or wood ear and a few others actually for certain look like. The rest...it's a guess. So I didn't pick and eat anything I found, I just took pics. I have a big old old oak tree in my front yard, and tons of various types of mushroom came up this yr. I never noticed them before. I guess prob. because I never did the lawn before. I mainly take care of all outdoor stuff now, because my husband can't. I think some are poisonous anyway, but some aren't. I have to fight the squirrels or them. I should just leave them if Im not going to eat them and let the squirrels have them, and I did. I noticed today, long after all mushrooms have stopped, due to over 105 degree temps. Where I've been watering daily a lone mushroom popped up. Might be more tomorrow. I picked it and set it out in my garden and it disappeared. Either the squirrels or rabbit got it, maybe the birds. IDK if birds eat shrooms??? Anyway, I am looking fwd. to my journey.
In the early 90s I majored in Forestry and Wildlife Conservations in college, so I know the forests well. I just never thought to hunt mushrooms, but now I can't stop seeing them. I even walked up on a fawn. It just laid there and I was able to get a picture of it. Every 10 ft or so, there's more shrooms on those trails. It's great.
This was so beautiful. Thank you.
Love your vids, and your products , keep it up
Im glad I found this channel
So very informative. Loved it
Yeah!! My favorites together!
Agarikon is so cool! Thank you for sharing. Whenever I think of agarikon I think of Paul Stamets. 😎💗🍄

I wish that I could share my photos with you.
it is crazy right now. Amanita everywhere and then ..... boom. thousands of other different types bloom forth from the decomposing leaves and the dead moss covered trees.
I have discovered 2 places in the Alaskan wilderness that have a yellow jelly growing and I believe that it's called witch's butter.
Agarikon is so cool! I’ve put going to the BC island and hunting to see Agarikon on my bucket list! 😆 🪣
I located an Agarikon a few weeks back on Orcas Island:). I was very happy to this friend!
Very cool video, this guy is definitely speaking my language!
Respect.
Funny, i was going to type much appreciated and he just said "appreciated" in the video 😆
You shoulda let Paul Stamets know you were there, he loves Agarikon, and has documented around 77 different Agarikon specimens!
DUDE phenomenal video.
Thank you!!
Paul stamets and Terrence McKennas lovechild. brilliant content

This is the greatest crossover in Myco RUclips history.
Love Ya this channel 😍
Love it
great ,just great perspectives . All life secrets.
Nice gentlemen . Very nice
I have a 5 kinds of mushrooms in my home. And I've seen to your blog or video's,I think I need you to see this,or I'll send to you for samples into your lab.
How do you grow these things?
Bet this dudes favorite character on star trek discovery was the water bear.
You have no idea how right that title is. It even turns out Christianty is based off mushrooms, after a fresh rain mushrooms would pop up and folks would 'use' them to communicate with God, the mushrooms signifying rebirth and all that jazz.
Interesting stuff
Its a way of life that is delicious
I commend your restraint in trying to keep the conversation non spiritual.
Can we call it myco-nectar instead of myco-pee? Haha
So they eat a raw mushroom , then later in the video the guy says eating a raw mushroom is a bad idea. Which is it?
@@GlenErvin42069 Doesn't change the fact that they contradicted themselves. If you were paying attention you'd realize that.
It's a legal tactic. Just in case you eat something that kills you. Then they can't get sued.
A few can be eaten raw but most species will get you sick. 🙄
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
You can place a small piece in your mouth and taste it without swallowing it. Very common in foraging in general.
💪😎🇺🇲
Mycopee? Guttaton?
No forest management
@11:15 I fart in the woods too
Lol it was a fly
@@FreshCapMushrooms jeez, that fly's got a big butthole!
Can't believe you gave screentime to an invasive slug. You couldn't find a native banana slug?
12:098 bf over the shoulder
@ 22:00 "Organalyptic"?
It's called Guttation...
Yarrow is looking more and more like the cult leader from Far Cry. Better personality of course!
Another disciple of Paul Stamets new religion, I see. Awesome. :-)
Christianity is the ticket
@@isaaccutlip5815 Stamets actually has more proof and I was kinda kidding. He doesn't actually have a "religion" but is quite reverent of the mushroom overlords. ;-)
@@YesItsTom2U that's cool
