Being a novice botany geek, myself... I could watch/listen to your content all day. If your videos were 3 hours long, I’d still eagerly watch with bated breath.
chez moi - LOL I’ve been subbed to his channel for long while. His Chicago accent and brutal humor, mixed with his seemingly unending knowledge on the world of botany and geology blows my mind... love the man’s content. He’s an seriously talented artist, as well.
Just wanted to say thank you Adam, as a forager in NY, I’m grateful for your informative videos. Thank you for taking the time to make your content, and help us learn!-
Just ok in the Hiram mountains, always on the lookout for COW for my faux chicken and vegetable soup, ps I don't tell anyone it's not chicken until it's gone...so delicious and super nutritious
Orange peal mushrooms make an attractive addition to your salad. Unfortunately, they don't have much flavor but do make you think you are balancing your diet with healthful things.
I saw videos of you (Adam) from eleven years ago while you were still in the heavy metal rock band and although you always come across as a polite person, now that you have broadened your education, one can see it in your face. Not just more knowledge but a higher level of wisdom. My wife and I have three kids that are a little younger that you and I want them to study your content and you yourself as an example of someone making something out of themselves. Young people like you are rare, unfortunately.
this mushroom is very delicious especially cooked with scrambled eggs with Parmesan cheese on top... i have eaten this mushroom and i would eat it again when i find some....
I sliced some and sauteed it in butter, then put the excess in the fridge for a couple other dinners. I ended up nibbling it, and took the last of it to share with friends on a walk. Much better than chips. Unfortunately, it's not common here, so I envy you folks your luck.
I wanted to thank you for doing what you do. I have always loved nature, but gained a much deeper respect when western medicine failed me and I became desperate then turned to nature. This was the second time nature saved my life. Your videos have been an excellent resource and have ignited a passion in me. I'm embarking on a journey to share my experience and share forgotten medicinal plants and mushrooms. Current focus is on assisting my sister-in-law with her battle against a rare form of leukemia that is resistant to most medicine. Again thank you for doing what you love.
I've found chicken on hardwood and conifers before, didn't know there was a difference; thanks for the info! The only notable thing between the two species was the smell. Conifer derived chicken didn't work well on the nose for me so I left it. Hardwood smelled very pleasant and tasted even better.
I understand that these videos take a lot of effort but make more! I've watched all your micology videos and I need more knowledge your videos are by far the best mushroom content I've came across
Hi Isaac! I agree (I also make mushroom content), but boy is there a lot to learn! I'm newer to RUclips but I aim to make equally interpretable content, lol. Check out my channel if you'd like. My newest video is very informative. Much respect to Adam and Learn Your Land - he's definitely pioneering the community on RUclips
Like 2 😃 The Laetiporus that I find are always in hardwoods, not conifers. I've seen all those species, except that orange Mycena. Thanks for sharing. 👌👌
I came here from Shawn James channel...he recommended your channel to learn about mushrooms....he is right there is a lot to lean on your channel...thank you...
That's a nice assortment of mushrooms! My favorite orange mushrooms for eating are the Lobsters (Hypomyces lactiflourum), assorted Chanterelles (Cantharellus spp.), any of the Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus spp.), and some of the milkcaps (Lactarius spp.). But all of the orange mushrooms are beautiful!
I landed on your channel after watching a Soothing Soul music channel, his opening music with coconut trees and rain and a orange mushroom 🍄🍄🍄🍄. I then went to Google and fortunately from there landed on your channel. Thank you to Soothing Soul channel and to you 😊🤗🤗🤗❤️✌️🕊️💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺😎👍 God bless you 🙏😊
I have the pleasure of chatting with Mr. R. Hallock on a fairly regular basis on my local I ndiana mushrooms fb page. Nice shout out for him and the book.
I find those little needles all the time. I tried one and it packed alot of flavor, i really enjoyed it. I think ill do more research on it because they do taste very good
I found orange mushrooms, many Stinkhorns in one spot and 15:21 I was about to ask for a book recommendation, thank you for your videos, very informative, so much to learn.
From Newfoundland here, we have something similar to the orange peel mushrooms, though instead of the bright orange we got very brown coloured ones, kind looks like the rubber ear mushrooms, and could easily be mistaken for leaf litter.
I love your images of the dense hemlock forest. Sadly, the ones near me in the Blue Ridge and in Great Smoky Mountains national Park are being killed by invasive aphids
Chemtrails, are killing all biological nutrients supporting plane life. The trees are hungry, and just rotting inside, and falling over. Weakened immune systems, can't fight back much.
We’ve found chicken of the woods on oak, and lions mane (only one small one the size of a quarter, and golden oyster, and pheasant backs, and the orange mycena decaying tree logs, we did find morels in end of April to early May here in NE PA.
Interesting! Very informative as always. Just bought the Audubon mushroom field guide and having even more fun with fungi than I had already been having.
Not a single dislike at the time of this comment, and it is easy to see why. In horrific, divisive times, this is unifying and academic...everyone can benefit to know more about the land around them :)
I was pleased you made reference to geography. So many videos on edible wild plants never do, or refer to approximate dates of when to find them that are completely wrong for my latitude.
You definitely know your Mushrooms. Have leaned alot from you in a short time. Started out looking for morels I don't like Mushrooms to eat but everyone said they was good so when I went hunting and didn't find any I got pissed and the hint was in now I'm after turkey tail and chicken and oysters and whatever is edible and medicinal. Thanks for your help. Keep em coming.
Wow. That was a LOT of Reishi @1:32!!! 😲 I found some Auricularia spp. during Morel season this year that were the largest I've ever seen...as big as salad plates. Just growing on a 4' high creek bank in a flush of about 8. No visible wood substrate (I wish we could post pictures here). It felt like a weird situation, so I didn't harvest any. Thanks for being an awesome teacher, Adam. Take care.
We just found what appears to be Laetiporus huroniensis (Chicken of the woods) in early August West Virginia, on old dead tree, probably conifer as mountain is filled with pines. I cooked with butter and garlic and on half batch with coconut aminos (soy sauce). We waited only 15 minutes and ate the rest because it was so good. No ill effects for self nor husband. Mrs. Smith
BRUH!! I just started watching but I am amazed at the low view count a week after posting. I don't know why that is. But I'm going to try to do my part to change that!
Excellent video. Just getting started learning to identify all the mushrooms I’ve seen on our land in the Adirondack Park! So many kinds! Love your extremely informative videos. Thank you 👍 Kathie
Just getting to be the season up here. Can't wait to see your next videos! Unfortunately I don't have access to any older forests, but I got one decent forest I can go to that's given me driads saddle and chicken of the woods. Maybe more, but I just don't know enough yet
Funny you did orange today. We found a very bright orange mushroom today by itself near the library woods . An Amanita sp. likely Ringless False Fly Agaric. Lovely little guy with some small white warts. Thanks for what you do. DD
The Aleuria aurantia is a delicious little trail nibble. It is prized in France as a dessert, sweetened with Kirsch or soaked in rum. You can also add it to a salad for a beautiful accent. Yes, you heard correctly, it's an asco which (unlike the morel) contains no hemolysine, so it is safe to eat it raw.
I have seen many of the mushrooms you've shown. When i was in Michigan I wished i knew the good ones then. Would you know of any edible mushrooms down hear in southern Georgia.??
I wonder if it makes a difference which conifer. Some pine is to be avoided while others can have a tea made from the needles and one can use other parts of some pine trees as well.
I found a chicken of the woods growing on what was either a maple or Oak tree, but I forgot now. It was more reddish in the middle. What variety did i find? I did eat it so it was not poisonous!
You bring out a very good point. I have theorized by the same coin that herbal remedies will affect different people who will suffer/enjoy the same maladies/cures in different ways due to their own variations. These variations stemmed primarily from the different blood types which carry the different variables of immunities, among other things. For examples see the book "Eat Right 4 Your Type" by Peter J. D'Adamo, M.D.
... :-)... Learn your land, I love pictures of nature like you're showing. Where are you located? I'm in the Black Hills of South Dakota, which are very beautiful and human-friendly.
Was hoping you were going to cover gym penetrans. I see what I THINK are a ton of them up here in New England but local FB foraging group thinks pholiota; would love to clarify and learn more about them.
I found some brilliantly orange mishrooms along the roadside in Michigans upper penninsula today. They were growing right out of the grass in front of my in-laws house. I thoight maybe there used to be some wood yhat lined the road that helped tjem to grow but the gills were all one wolid color of pale orange. What could they be??
I love your videos. I actually found my second edible mushroom haul today (about 3lbs of Lobster!). Do you have a recommendation for a foraging location tracker app/tool? Something that could store the location of a mushroom patch or plant and could store notes with those locations, akin to a geocaching app.
I have seen what I think could be the last (orange peel fungus) here in New Zealand. I am going to go and have a look to see if I can find any as it is something I see a lot on our property in North Waikato.
I live in the UP of Michigan! I recently hiked near Black River Harbor. I found soooooo many different mushrooms on this trip! I can’t identify most of them.
Being a novice botany geek, myself... I could watch/listen to your content all day. If your videos were 3 hours long, I’d still eagerly watch with bated breath.

Your picture reminds me of Aunt Ester hahaha
Yum! chicken of the woods is one of my favorites. SO good with BBQ sauce!
@Taylor Schiff Sounds good!
Adam, you are the great lecturer! You help me to learn not only about mushrooms but also English language. Greetings from Ukraine!

Be very wary of the English subtitles, Maryana! They are seriously funny.
Greetings from Hungary! All the best Adam! All the best Mariana!

Thanks Adam! Quality as always!
Hope your keeping safe!

Some truly fantastic photography! Well done. The lecture was stellar as always, thank you, you’re one of the best, the best)
Just wanted to say thank you Adam, as a forager in NY, I’m grateful for your informative videos. Thank you for taking the time to make your content, and help us learn!-
10:37 Absolutely beautiful picture! I am filled with awe and wonder. Thank you so much.
First! We're finding COW and reishi in great abundance here in Maine this spring. The season is off to a good start!
Just ok in the Hiram mountains, always on the lookout for COW for my faux chicken and vegetable soup, ps I don't tell anyone it's not chicken until it's gone...so delicious and super nutritious

And he doesn't make any money off them! (notice no commercials). Is there a way we can donate to Adam?
@@GarrettKopp i subscribed to your channel. Im from Michigan do you have alot of the same mushrooms were your from?
@@sujin012 Below the video, he suggests supporting local wild places.
Like 2 😃
The Laetiporus that I find are always in hardwoods, not conifers.
I've seen all those species, except that orange Mycena.
Thanks for sharing. 👌👌
You're the best Adam, love you, love your videos! Thank you ❤️
I came here from Shawn James channel...he recommended your channel to learn about mushrooms....he is right there is a lot to lean on your channel...thank you...
So glad i found this channel these videos are awesome.
Love love love your presentations (although only so much is applicable out west where I live). Still, I enjoy them very much! Such a great education!!
When you stand on a dead log with fungi growing on it you're just high on mushrooms.
Orange from the great beyond.
That's a nice assortment of mushrooms! My favorite orange mushrooms for eating are the Lobsters (Hypomyces lactiflourum), assorted Chanterelles (Cantharellus spp.), any of the Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus spp.), and some of the milkcaps (Lactarius spp.).

It was too dry in my area for morels. I went out 4 times and found 3 of them. We did get about 100 ticks though.

Thank you Adam.
I will start sharing your vids. for you.
another outstanding lesson, wonderful info and images!
You help me understand the taxonomy difference within a same family of species. Helps alot. Thank you Adam.
I have the pleasure of chatting with Mr. R. Hallock on a fairly regular basis on my local I ndiana mushrooms fb page. Nice shout out for him and the book.
omg! so informative. This is helping me a lot to forage mushrooms and especially this channel is helping me learn so much about the land I love on.
Love your teaching and sharing Adam! Great channel!!! Thank you.
I find those little needles all the time. I tried one and it packed alot of flavor, i really enjoyed it. I think ill do more research on it because they do taste very good
Once again I thank you for a most informative lesson about mushrooms.
Your way of saying "orange" is what I was told identified me as having been raised in Pittsburg. Cute.
*Pittsburgh
Great video, as always. Rob is also a wealth of knowledge.
I found orange mushrooms, many Stinkhorns in one spot and 15:21 I was about to ask for a book recommendation, thank you for your videos, very informative, so much to learn.
Great video as usual.
I love learning from you! You have so much knowledge and communicate it in an engaging way. Thanks!
Thank you, added the book to my growing list.
From Newfoundland here, we have something similar to the orange peel mushrooms, though instead of the bright orange we got very brown coloured ones, kind looks like the rubber ear mushrooms, and could easily be mistaken for leaf litter.
Did not know about the Chicken mushroom on the conifer trees. That's why I watch your vids Adam.
I love your images of the dense hemlock forest. Sadly, the ones near me in the Blue Ridge and in Great Smoky Mountains national Park are being killed by invasive aphids
Surely there must be a way to kill them maybe spray them down with massive amounts of vinegar
Mmmmm,,,,yumy
The aphids are a problem up here in PA also. There are lots of live Hemlocks but I see plenty of dead ones as well.
Chemtrails, are killing all biological nutrients supporting plane life. The trees are hungry, and just rotting inside, and falling over. Weakened immune systems, can't fight back much.
The hemlocks are being killed by woolly adelgids
As always thanks for your great video and information.....
We’ve found chicken of the woods on oak, and lions mane (only one small one the size of a quarter, and golden oyster, and pheasant backs, and the orange mycena decaying tree logs, we did find morels in end of April to early May here in NE PA.
Always fascinating and always over my head but I always like you're videos.
Cool! Thanks Adam. Good video and I learned some new things!
Interesting! Very informative as always. Just bought the Audubon mushroom field guide and having even more fun with fungi than I had already been having.

Again, thanks very much, Dr. H, for another great video. I could've used all this classification info when I was in school! Well, we have it now!!!
I love your presentations. I watch them all….Thanks so much….Rob Currier
your videos are the best!
BRUH!! I just started watching but I am amazed at the low view count a week after posting. I don't know why that is. But I'm going to try to do my part to change that!
Adam, do you compose/play the music you provide?
The tiny orange mycena and orange cup fungus are beautiful
Always informative and presented in a truly interesting manner. I really appreciate your videos!
Been a while, I'm glad to see you post new videos. Much love from north Louisiana.👍
Haven’t been able to say hi for a while so I wanted to make sure I did today! So glad to see a video. Hope you’re doing well. Blessings always ~Lisa

Thanks for covering the Laetiporus mushrooms and the variety
Love learning about the trump mushrooms. Cant wait for the chantrelles!
I have to say you make great, informative videos.
Very informative video as usual Adam! Most of these mushrooms don't even grow in the UK where I live, but you're still my favourite fungi RUclipsr! :D

woohoo! Shout-out from the Upper peninsula. Neat to learn about laetiporus huronientus from this area!
Great video I learn a lot from you each time I watch your videos
Chicken of the woods growing on cherry trees, do they cause gastrointestinal symptoms? Since cherry trees do have a lot of cyanide
Do you recommend any particular mushroom guide? I have Mushrooms of North America by Orson K Miller. Copyright 1979. I think it might be out of date.
11.11 I will try it and let you know I have some grow in my local park when the time is right
in the west we have orange birch bolete, Lactarius deliciousus and chanterelle
I love your videos so much.
share attractive, excellent video

Oh my gosh!! The orchard spider! 😂😍 I love it's watermelon body.
Hey adam hope all is well and going great for you recently in these difficult days keep your strength and positivity thriving much love brother! ;)
I found a chicken of the woods growing on what was either a maple or Oak tree, but I forgot now. It was more reddish in the middle. What variety did i find? I did eat it so it was not poisonous!
Orange peel fungus is very good sliced thin on a salad. Gives a great crunch but very little flavor!

Was hoping you were going to cover gym penetrans. I see what I THINK are a ton of them up here in New England but local FB foraging group thinks pholiota; would love to clarify and learn more about them.
Yes..... Another Adam Shroom vid. Just thank you.
The orange peel fungus, I can see where it could be used in salads, as an embellishment and for texture.
I found some brilliantly orange mishrooms along the roadside in Michigans upper penninsula today. They were growing right out of the grass in front of my in-laws house. I thoight maybe there used to be some wood yhat lined the road that helped tjem to grow but the gills were all one wolid color of pale orange. What could they be??
