This is now one of my absolute missions in life. To find this amazing mushroom. Love your channel!
Go out when it's been raining lots, it makes them extra goopy.
Hahaha, it's like a sasquatch came along and used it to wipe its nose with it and then stuck it back in the ground.
Маслятки. Ням-ням.
I've foraged for boletes before in Latvia where they, and chanterelles, are pretty popular. I love mushrooming!! Your videos are fun, though I just found them, and your forests seem beautiful too! However, I was wondering if when you pick mushrooms you leave the start of the stalk in the ground normally? It disrupts the fungi's growth and might stop it from creating any more mushrooms if you just pull it out. If you leave it, and remember the spot, you might be able to pick more mushrooms the next time!
+Elleari Hi, I get questions about methods of picking mushrooms a lot-here are some of my thoughts on it.
I’ve gone back and forth between the best way to most sustainably harvest mushrooms, the debate amongst mycologist and mycological societies seems to be never-ending. However, there is one study that has most intrigued me, I’ll pass along the link:
www.fungimag.com/spring-2012-articles/LR_Agaricidal.pdf
Or do a search for: Agaricidal Tendencies: settling the debate over cutting vs. picking, and the sustainability of wild mushroom collecting by Britt A. Bunyard
Even with what is said in the article, you’ll notice in my videos I do cut the mushrooms I am collecting for the table with a knife leaving the base intact (this was filmed before having come across the study, and I am still in debate with myself for which harvesting method is good for all mushrooms). The reason you may see me pull other mushrooms is because I am using them as identification examples-it is important to observe the entirety of the mushroom, including the base, which means disturbing the mycelium to an extent. Of course, I don’t clarify this in the video, which would possibly be beneficial, it seems there is always more to say when putting together a project.
Thank you for the comment on a great discussion point, happy foraging to you!
Thank you, and you make a good point about the observational methods of the mushroom itself. From a scientific standpoint, full specimen observation does require the sacrifice of disrupting the environment, but this is the case for collection methods of any species type.
Thank you for the link as well, I'll check it out. Originally, my habit of cutting the mushrooms stem more from my mother repeating it until it was stuck in my head, and not its almost taboo not to cut the stem. But, again, that has no scientific basis and is more of a preferential thing.
This is my favorite video, on the channel, at 1:23 i forgot i was looking at a mushroom lol.
What causes the slime? What is its purpose?
***** Hi! Thanks for asking. When I shot this footage the only thing I knew about the slime was that it *possibly* protected the mushroom from excess moisture to assure the mushroom wouldn't begin to decay before it was mature enough to release it's spores. Having been an incredibly rainy fall (and finding more slimy mushrooms than ever) I believe that is part of the purpose. However, since then, I've been able to find a little more information-I've come across the term 'extracellular mucilaginous material (ECMM), quite the mouthful. I haven't been able to find a lot of research on it, but essentially when the mushroom is under some kind of stress, ECMM is produced by the hyphae (the small filaments that make up a mushroom). They excrete a mix of polysaccharides making up the slime, then depending on the situation that slime helps protect the mushroom from unpleasant environmental factors.
Hope that helps, it's all I know!
So very interesting -- thanks for taking the time to answer so thoroughly. 🍄
Me and my family found some Slippery Jark Bolete's a little while back, not my cup of tea. God they tasted awful!
hay im an amiture mushroom forager.....i thourt larch bolites have a ring
+levi boffamartin Yes, you are correct, they do. The one I pick up and slice in half was so heavily water saturated that you couldn't make out the ring very well, it had mushed into more of a 'ring zone' on the stem. However the last one I pick up and try to remove the slime layer from, you can see the ring still intact on the stem.
