I'm in N. Ga. (Dawsonville) and I find shaggy stalked boletes all the time. They are my favorite mushroom so far. I picked at least two pounds of them today.
My roommate and I played a drinking game where everytime you said "guys" I took a shot and everytime you said "actually" he took a shot of schnapps. I got black out drunk and he got alcohol poisoning! LOL
There was a guy who ate amanita phaloides. He sweared that it was the most delicious mushroom what he ever ate. He doesn't want to believe that he shouldn't have eaten that. It took a while to convince him to go to the hospital.
I'm almost positive I found these growing in the Walmart parking lot about 3or 4 weeks ago. There were dozens maybe hundreds of them. All popping up in the mulch. When I googled them it came up as some kind of iodine mushroom? i didn't try to eat it. But I have been seeing these all over the Charleston Summerville SC area lately
These amanita jacksonii have popped up right in my front yard before and when I realized that the mycelium would still be there I waited until the rain a few days ago. Sure enough when I went outside to check I had several lovely specimens with caps the size of my hand! They are so beautiful! We checked our woods and found several amanitas growing such as the peach fly agaric! We harvested and took pictures and spore sprints. Such lovely specimens. Also out here in the peidmont Louisburg NC.
Wow, informative video! I live on the Olympic Peninsula in western WA, a region with a considerable variety of fungal species. Yet, you just introduced me to several beautifully photogenic mushrooms that included several species of boletes with which I was unfamiliar. The droplets that you mentioned are sometimes visible under the cap of Exsudoporus frostii is predicted by the genus name. Even though that genus is not found in my area as far as I know, many of our regional polypores also exhibit "guttation" when conditions are conducive. And Hydnellum peckii, commonly known as the Bleeding Tooth mushroom is a favorite photo subject of fungal fans in the PNW.
I think I might have seen these growing in southern Oregon and will keep an eye out for them this year. Currently I am getting yellow chanterelles. Just posted another video about them. Thanks for sharing.
I get hundreds of the amanita jacksonii each year in early summer here in NC. Not my favorite but they are ok. We ate a couple meals of them last year and maybe will have a meal again if we have a real nice flush and nothing else to make for dinner.
A nice find of different Bolete mushrooms. However I like the Porcini, Penny bun, King Bolete is the best in my opinion. Mushroom season has started here in the UK now so hopefully I will be finding some soon. Good luck with hunting mushrooms. I have some videos on my channel on mushroom hunting. Thanks nice video
Hey from northeast Tennessee. Nice vid. I usually pass on the boletes but I’m going to try these next time I find them. I’ve been getting hedgehogs lately.
Nice! The bolete species that I showed in this video are all pretty easy to identify, but I would recommend getting a little bit familiar with the ones that will upset your stomach first. We only have a handful of them here in the Southeast, but it is definitely a confidence booster to know which ones will make you sick. The online Bolete filter is a free resource that is a great place to get started with learning Boletes and is something that I often use to key them out. Here is a link to that resource: boletes.wpamushroomclub.org/ Best of luck!
We don’t actually have Amanita caesarea where I live, but we have several mushrooms that are Amanita in the section Caesarea. I passed on them this time just for the sake of the video!
I'm near Ottawa, Ontario. Going hunting this weekend as we just had a week of rain. I'll be looking for anything but hoping to find lions mane, COW, puffballs, boletes, and maitake.
Some I skipped Some but the "fun one to find " we call them penny buns in the UK, ceps. They can be coin sized this week I found on the size of my head. It was lovely. Go find some
So I found what looked like a shaggy stock in Oklahoma, same color minus the wrinkled stock. Same color. Left them to spore print and they decayed very quickly. I thought from examination it was a ruby bolete. Did not know about the taste test
I’m going to take a guess here and say that it probably stained blue when damaged? Boletes that are red and yellow can be pretty tricky to identify. You can try using this online resource next time to try and narrow down your search: boletes.wpamushroomclub.org
It seems mushrooms we have here in the sw coast of Washington are all over the country. I keep looking for channel for my area only. I guess most are everywhere? Cha ntrelles, lobsters, oysters, boletes are common on my farm. Right?
"Mushroom Wonderland" and "Mushroom Trail" both present excellent mycological information, including foraging tips, with a major emphasis on western WA because it is where the producers reside.
Damn great video and editing! It looks like a great time foraging in NC, especially with all your knowledge. Also, either the shaking or your singing made Mr.slug at 05:27 leave his home. Shame on u. And yes do a video about amanita jacksonii, I never knew you can eat them raw. Maybe like a sushi style or very lightly pickled could be good 😀. Lookin forward to the cooking vid
So far so. Bitterness or pepper taste does not necessarily bar a shroom from consumption. They do imply caution though. Cinnabar Red Chanterelles have a nice pepper taste but they fry down and become very tasty.
Last year started a mushroom explosion of all varieties in my yard and surrounding woods. This year has been pretty dry until recently, but I’ve noticed a huge explosion of boletes in the last few days.
Hi! Does anyone know about the" chitin" controversy? Both mushrooms and insects contain chitin; said to be indigestible as well as poisonous to us. Weird.
It is a very interesting topic that I believe has a lot of ongoing research. I am by no means an expert, but my understanding is that humans potentially lack the enzyme "chitinase" which is required to breakdown chitin. Or at least, we do not have a large enough quantity of it in our gut to properly break down large amounts of chitin. I am not too familiar with the notion of it potentially being "poisonous", but I do know that a Western diet frowns upon the consumption of insects which could be a potential source of such controversy. Regardless, I would almost never advise anyone to consume raw wild mushrooms simply because some mushrooms, such as morels, have toxins that need to be broken down through cooking.
@@glieseonlife Hey ...let me belabor the point ,as the one who I heard declare their vehement warning against consuming chitens SAID " that cooking does nothing to render Chitin digestible". A lost cause! I will eat mushrooms . I will not eat any more insects though they may be in some form present in my mushrooms. Have a great one!
I found the most beautiful bolete that looks like something you’d want to eat. Brown on the top white to buff on the underside with a brown stem. Darn thing was so bitter. It tasted like poison.
The best foraging tool is always the one you have in your pocket or in your car! I do love the Opinel foraging knife though. It's bristles are very convenient for cleaning excess dirt off of your mushrooms.
@@purelyiconic Yes indeed I myself ate two boletes raw and ended up going to the hospital with severe diarrhea and vomiting while sweating buckets it was scary but they saved me through administering saline water through and IV

Really enjoyed your video and narration

Nice! Our chanterelle season was a real bummer here in NC this year... We typically have so many that you end up getting tired of picking them!

Scarletina you found near that Jackson’s Caesar is really good too
Nice haul!
I’m new for this activity ( Wild mushrooms foraging).Your video is fun and educated.Keep posting it ✌️thank you for sharing this..
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
@17:43 - I've heard common parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera) is quite delicious too - as long as you identify it correctly...

@@glieseonlife Awesome resource, thank you!
I get Shaggy Stalks up in Macon County … about 3000 feet mountains of Western NC
9:39 Every time I cook mushrooms, I always add black pepper. That way if I miss a little bug, nobody knows. ;)
Minute 15 is Amanita Caesarea, one of the best delicacy. Imagine passing on that hahahaha.
We don’t actually have Amanita caesarea where I live, but we have several mushrooms that are Amanita in the section Caesarea. I passed on them this time just for the sake of the video!
I have some raw land in Hillsville Virginia. Finding lots of chanterelles lately. Great videos thanks
I'm near Ottawa, Ontario. Going hunting this weekend as we just had a week of rain. I'll be looking for anything but hoping to find lions mane, COW, puffballs, boletes, and maitake.
I'm currently living in a seemingly unending patch of slippery jack and chicken fat boletes. It is heavenly!
Some I skipped Some but the "fun one to find " we call them penny buns in the UK, ceps. They can be coin sized this week I found on the size of my head. It was lovely. Go find some
Is that lake Townsend ? I recognize the nature it's piedmont alright
I have seen a lot of Shaggy Stalk bolets here in the North Ga mountains, Jasper. I've never harvested any for consumption.
You should give them a try! Just make sure that you are 100% confident on your ID
We have Shaggy Boletes in the Atlanta area.
So I found what looked like a shaggy stock in Oklahoma, same color minus the wrinkled stock. Same color. Left them to spore print and they decayed very quickly. I thought from examination it was a ruby bolete. Did not know about the taste test

@@glieseonlife yes it was a blue teal bruising
Yellow green pores and a lovely red/orange cap and stem
They're called 'witch bolete' in Latvia :D
That woudn't be W kerr Scott reservoir trails would it?
It seems mushrooms we have here in the sw coast of Washington are all over the country. I keep looking for channel for my area only. I guess most are everywhere? Cha ntrelles, lobsters, oysters, boletes are common on my farm. Right?

I found a shaggy Bolete this year here in Hampstead NC
Awesome! Did you try it?
@@glieseonlife no didn’t know exactly what I had at the moment but will know next time
Found a shaggy stalk bolete yesterday in N Georgia!
Awesome! Did you try eating it?

Thank you! I am really glad that you enjoyed it! I guess that I probably need to work on my singing skills...
7:22 I found two of them north and east of tampa florida in late December 2024
We get them in Tennessee
what part of NC are you in? I'm in Wilmington
It ‘s time for Boletes👍
It certainly is! What boletes are you hoping to forage this year?
@@glieseonlife Bicolor Bolete is my favorite 😁
So far so. Bitterness or pepper taste does not necessarily bar a shroom from consumption. They do imply caution though. Cinnabar Red Chanterelles have a nice pepper taste but they fry down and become very tasty.
Love the username haha! But yeah, bitterness isn't always a bad thing. Even the bitter boletes have applications such as making cocktail bitters!
Conifers I see mostly hardwoods maples and oaks.
Last year started a mushroom explosion of all varieties in my yard and surrounding woods. This year has been pretty dry until recently, but I’ve noticed a huge explosion of boletes in the last few days.

I live in eastern nc, pls link!
Where in nc is that at?
Can you eat the cap on the shagy steam.
Yes, you can. However, it is very spongy and usually pretty sticky so most people don’t find it too enjoyable
I found the most beautiful bolete that looks like something you’d want to eat. Brown on the top white to buff on the underside with a brown stem. Darn thing was so bitter. It tasted like poison.
There is one brown stem bolete that is the only poisonous bolete. Cannot find my reference right now.
5:37 what do you mean oyster shrooms are not that great for eating ? They are one of the most widely edible shrooms on planet.
Yes, that was a bit of a mistake on my part. I meant to say that the veiled oyster mushrooms are not that great for eating (Pleurotus dryinus/levis).
Agreed. I love them
Your thumbnail tipped me off to the existence of foraging tools. That sounds stupid but I'm sure there's much more obvious things I have to learn.
The best foraging tool is always the one you have in your pocket or in your car! I do love the Opinel foraging knife though. It's bristles are very convenient for cleaning excess dirt off of your mushrooms.
5:25 Neolentinus, train wrecker
I live in NC help me!!
เห็ดผึ้งค่ะ
"bowl eat" or "bowl et"?
Spelling is Bolete, but it is pronounced like “bowl eat”
As I have no one to talk about mushrooms with anyway, I think I may continue to pronounce it bowl et in my head.
Oyster mushrooms are choice edibles, what are you talking about??
Cook your boletes before eating or it could get you sick
You should cook any foraged mushroom, as many can make you sick before cooking.
@@purelyiconic Yes indeed I myself ate two boletes raw and ended up going to the hospital with severe diarrhea and vomiting while sweating buckets it was scary but they saved me through administering saline water through and IV
Your filming is poor hard to see mushrooms
Ball-eats, LOL!
