Explosive, edible Stump Puffball! how to FIND AND ID!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- How to find and identify edible Pear-shaped Puffball mushrooms, also known as Stump Puff balls ( Apioperdon pyrifome) is explained as I discover these growing on a log on the Appalachian Trail. While these are edible mushrooms they can be confused with not edible mushroom: Earth Balls (Scleroderma sp.) . Children and adults have always enjoyed kicking over Puffball Mushrooms or squeezing Stump mushrooms to reveal clouds of "brown smoke". The "brown smoke" is actually trillions of mushroom, hydrophobic spores.

This is very interesting thanks for another great video
Thank you Annie! Always great to hear from you!
I have these mushrooms growing on fallen trees and love to see the spores come out. I also have earth balls growing in ground, they look so similar but when you cut open black inside. Great info on these puff balls.
Hey thanks Terri! I think you are becoming my #1 fan! Always great to hear from you and your experience and insight!
I had no idea it was so close to my home. Thank you very much.
You are welcome! I am always available to answer questions, too!
Yes if properly identified they are delicious. Thanks for sharing
Hi Gerald! Thanks for verifying their flavor! Yes..proper ID! 👍
Hey, good on you for finishing the VA AT in the fall. I love the roller coaster, especially with acorns under the leaves! - a fellow Appalachian neighbor
Hi Linda ...my Appalachian neighbor. Yesterday I was on AT to the mountain Rogers Summit to film my Xmas tree episode..where does Fraser Fir come from! I have a number of trail inspired episodes! The roller coaster beat me up,btw...but the biology was great...shot my green snake and a new black snake episode there by bears den as well!
Thanks recommending my channel and as always fantastic video! I was glad to hear you talk about earth balls too... very important to mention those toxic look alikes.
Your are welcome Wild Meat Lets Eat! I always differ to the experts!
I grew up hearing them called Devil's Snuff Box here in TRI cities TN. I still call them that
Thank for share Margaret! Cool regional name. I love learning local colloquial names for our plants and animals!
Wow, it’s interesting how the rain puffs it, I never knew that!
yes... when water hits them the hydrophobic nature makes the spores absolutely bounce!
It would be so much fun going on a hike with you. I know so little on how to identify stuff that’s out there. When I was a kid I had a teacher that would take the class out for little hikes and she would show us all the stuff around us - give their names and what is safe, and what isn’t, what is eatable, and what isn’t. It’s fascinating! Thank you for this interesting video.
Thank you Donna ML...the best of all compliments! Let me know if you are hiking in SW VA! Appreciate your comment very much!
These puffball mushrooms have also healing abilities. If dry their powder can be put on damaged skin and heal it
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
Always interesting
You are the best George!
Great Info!! I always wondered about those mushrooms. And definitely saw their hydrophobic nature in real time while caught in a storm.
(Think I met you on that portion of the trail)
Hi Friday Outdoors! Great to hear from you! I enjoyed meeting you on the trail ...loved your energy and joy you radiated!!! Thanks for sharing! Hope to hear from you again soon!!😄💪👍👍👍
I like them, they have a satisfying squish in your teeth and decent flavor. Much better than their giant relative.
Thanks for share Gobi Grey!
Hi my teachers dad
Hi my daughter's student! Did you know that every Friday I can't wait to til your class sees my video and I hear what you guys thought of it! Thanks for checking in with me! I would love to hear more from you guys!
Cool new video!:)) Think I’ve only seen the ‘Giant Puffballs’?!?? And I generally steer clear from most ‘wild’ mushrooms’ because I do not know if I trust myself to ID mushrooms, enough!!!!:)) ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS!
Yes! Giant Puffballs are quite common, seem to grow anywhere and are large enough to call attention to themselves! Happy hollidays, Jenny O!
Hi Frank. Go back out there this October will a pale of water. I want to watch them explode! My brother goes out in his area and finds Morels to give to our Mom for Mothers Day. Interesting taste.
I came back after watching another video. Saw some forager Chef with his Giant puff ball. It gets Huge! He showed how to cut into it and how to slice. They are edible.
👍☺
@@natureatyourdoor come back. I added to comment!
Oh my god !! I have these all through my yard.. I was so scared the first time I saw them and it puffed at me. Like a mist of brown air ...Mine weren’t growing on any stumps though. They were growing through out my yard. Could they be the same? Mine were more white colored though.
There are a lot of different puffballs! (Puffballs are in the division Basidiomycota and encompass several genera, including Calvatia, Calbovista and Lycoperdon.) Stump puffballs grown only on rotting wood and logs. Other species of puffballs emerge from the soil. So glad you discovered these!! Very funny learning about what is around us!
Squizitzi that’s Italian for yummy 😋
