Although you may ramble, I listen to every word...Lol.. sometimes twice, because there are always new gems somewhere in your videos. three generations of my family are now into this mushroom habit (over in Enumclaw), for a couple years now, largely because of you. If it wouldnt be too much trouble, could you dig around in the soil a little bit when you find a good chanterelle and or lobster spot to help me understand the moisture level you're looking for? and maybe throw out a recent weather summary? Thanks man.
My wife and I found a HUGE HUGE hen of the woods up high on the mountain and OOOOOOOH BOY it was YUMMY!!!!!. It was like a for tall and foot and a half wide. Wonderful mushroom. Tasted like poultry.
Looking forward for the upcoming events you mentioned. Very dry here in Louisiana almost 3 months no rain ( fires are starting). Best shroon channel bro
I truly love your knowledge and admire it! I have found your channel to be the most informative and easy for me to watch! I love that your family is involved and I LOVE seeing Gunnar♥️ please continue educating me. Love from Spokane, WA.
This Summer has been a bad shutout here in Western Colorado. One of the driest Summers I can remember. We just got a couple days of light rain, so hoping to see some of the first flushes this weekend. Hopefully not too late for boletes, but maybe the chanterelles still have a chance if we get more rain! Mush Love 🤙🏼
I live in Georgia near Athens area. And chanterelles this season have been everywhere. Basically wait for a day or two of rain and just walk in the woods
I love northwest of Atlanta and it's the same there. I've harvested pounds of chanterelles this year. I'm vacationing in up-state Michigan and have gotten a ton of chanterelles here too. Just found a huge patch of chicken of the woods today to tack on to my chanterelles, lobster, hen of the woods, and black trumpets. My only regret was that I couldn't take trips for morel season and for oysters. I've never found so many edible mushrooms! Hopefully we'll see more chanterelles back in GA soon. Congrats on all the great finds there near Athens!
Thank you for your help!!!!! I have been a life long person of the woods and have left behind TONS of the edible mushrooms thinking that they were poison. NOT NO MORE@!!!! LOL. My problem now is I'm 61 and have had a lot of problems with my body. Hard to get out but if it kills me this year I'm going to get some, lol.
Yeah they've been very fresh, as long as I find them and they're still young. There's definitely some wormy ones that just don't make it into the video though
Hey man, love the channel, been following from the start! Big inspiration and very informative. Was wondering if you’ve ever considered a video about like…foraging/trekking techniques in terms of things like wayfinding/not getting lost, wildlife safety precautions re. Ticks, or even cougars/bears, things to have on hand in your bag in case of some sort of emergency. I’ve never really had issues with any of the above (except ticks) but they definitely come to mind when i go out foraging, especially in new territory, alone, or just with my dog. I find it can be easy to get disoriented at times when you start happening upon patches of chanterelles all around you. I used to tree plant and have thought about bringing flagging tape or something like that but have never actually done that. Thoughts? Could make for a decent discussion
Great idea, I've lightly touched on those ideas but it would be a good episode when mushrooms are scarce, always looking for material this time of year. Thanks and mush love! 🍄👍
Visiting northern (lower peninsula) Michigan and we're overrun with chanterelles (golden and red) and lobster mushrooms. Unfortunately all the lobster I've found have been pretty bug infested. I'll keep looking though. I've never had the lobster mushrooms to eat so I hope I find some fresher ones. It's been great weather here for mushrooms and I think I've seen about a thousand species including the first time I ever saw honey fungus (a huge grouping). Enjoy the lobsters and I'll be enjoying chanterelles at least.
Do lobsters have different stages/colors? I found some mushrooms on my property that were covered in a white fungus. The lobsters look like they have a layer of white under the orange layer.
The lobster is actually two fungus growing together, a parasite and a host. The host is a white mushroom called Russula brevipes, and the parasite is orange/red. Check out some of the other videos on the channel about lobster mushrooms!!
Yeah there certain ways to freeze mushrooms, a lot of times people will dry saute them first to remove a lot of excess water. I don't know about ghost pipes though. What are you using them for?
Ghost pipes have medicinal properties mostly use for severe pain physically and emotionally. Please use caution and do your research as it’s a very powerful nervine. Herbal Jedi “Yarrow” who’s a master herbalist on RUclips have video out and he explains it well. If you want to do a fresh tincture use fresh. You can even bring your own bottle of alcohol and just put it right in.
No, but I suggest that you join some of the Facebook groups, if you are on Facebook, or download the iNaturalist app on your smartphone and you can upload photos and have ID suggestions from great mycologists or advanced technology. I have too many requests to do individual ID but thank you for watching! 🍄
I love gunner. Can’t wait to find my 1st lobster.

Thanks again for another wonderful walk Aaron and Gunnar ! 👍😊
That was amazing!!!! Quite the haul. Love your pup. I have a 20 y/o, 25 lb, male black cat named Handsome! Pets get better with age!
I go back to the seasonal videos to guide my identification. So validating to see the same species as you ± 3 weeks
I’ve been enjoying the seasonal videos
My wife and I found a HUGE HUGE hen of the woods up high on the mountain and OOOOOOOH BOY it was YUMMY!!!!!. It was like a for tall and foot and a half wide. Wonderful mushroom. Tasted like poultry.
I've been finding chanterelles,COWS and cauliflower mushrooms in NW Pa. Foraging is fun! Thank you Aaron ✌️
People do look at one very strangely when we are off the beaten path searching for fungi 😅
Yea I also get the crazy eye look when Im metal detecting =D
Good stuff. Here in northern Maine, lobsters and saffron milk caps are in full swing. Can't wait for blewit season.
Looking forward for the upcoming events you mentioned. Very dry here in Louisiana almost 3 months no rain ( fires are starting). Best shroon channel bro
Ask your vet about Rimadyl, we gave it to our 95lb lab/shepherd mix as he got older and it really put a pep back in his step!!

@@martinmix7464 that is amazing.

It still amazes me how many lobster mushrooms you get that aren't worm riddled. My ratio is probably around 1/50 good vs riddled when I find them
Yeah they've been very fresh, as long as I find them and they're still young. There's definitely some wormy ones that just don't make it into the video though

Been so dry in my part of Florida, the only thing Ive found was one old man of the woods =D

As long as you don't make the dog run he's probably good and will let you know when he's done. :)

My lobster patch stopped producing lobsters a couple weeks ago
Can you freeze mushrooms especially ghost pipe( which know is not a mushroom) ?
Yeah there certain ways to freeze mushrooms, a lot of times people will dry saute them first to remove a lot of excess water. I don't know about ghost pipes though. What are you using them for?
Don't freeze them fresh, they'll just get mushy when thawed (pun not intended)
What on earth would you freeze ghost pipe? 👻
Make tinture
Ghost pipes have medicinal properties mostly use for severe pain physically and emotionally. Please use caution and do your research as it’s a very powerful nervine.

can you buy lobster plants
