Yes yes yes! That'd be a video series I'd love to watch: Foraging with Cody. Learn to recognize all those herbs, flowers, mushrooms, and how to prepare and cook them, and possibly preserve them as well. Nice.
The fact that Cody didn't say "Nice!" after putting them on a tray sort of caught me off guard for some reason. Edit: I've got no problems with frying mushrooms in oil. However, I do have a problem with putting mushrooms in the middle, oil on one side, and then salt everywhere but the place it should be. What the heck, Cody?
Those giant puffballs that can be found in grassy fields are also edible provided the inside is entirely white.] Rules of mushroom hunting: 1. If you have any doubts whatsoever of what species of mushroom you found and picked, DO NOT EAT IT. 2. If you choose to eat mushrooms that you find and pick, always cook them first.
We had a massive, probably between basketball and beach ball sized puffball mushroom growing in our yard once. We didn't know much about them, and ran it over with the mower, big cloud of spores, but no new mushrooms popped up the next year. It was pretty cool tho
@@Kaos1382 I was at my granduncle's acreage many years ago with a friend and we found one of those in its maturity, all brown and lumpy, but we thought it was a pile of horse poop. I found a stick nearby and I whacked it like I was swinging a baseball bat, and it made a huge spore cloud. We thought we had just hit a wasp nest and we ran away.
@@Kaos1382 I brought one overripe home and threw it in the garden instead. It took 10 years, but now I can harvest one each autumn (if I can find it in time)
Lmao have you even considered the fact that our cells carry out the instructions of a double helix molecule that unstrands and replicates itself for whatever reason
The mass of the fruiting bodies is usually less than the mass of the mycelium. The largest known living organism on Earth is a Honey Mushroom (Armillaria ostoyae) mycelium. It is in Eastern Oregon and is 3.5 square miles, 2,240 acres (910 ha) in size and probably weighs about 35,000 tons. It is estimated to be several thousand years old.
Someone on a local native plant forum was recently complaining about how many shaggy mane mushrooms keep coming up in her back yard. I couldn’t understand how that could possibly be a problem.
Maybe they want a clean looking yard. Too many mushrooms like this would really make a mess of your lawn. Who wants to mow over these things which then turn to black goo? I can think of many other reasons why it could be a seen as a problem.
ME, excited about maybe finding some edible mushrooms: *buys mushroom identification book* ME, reading book: "In the end, the only reliable positive indicator of a mushroom being edible is a genetic test." ME, throwing away book: :
I love how you teach us a few things but also tell us to do our own research! I would’ve never known about mushrooms becoming toxic from just drinking alcohol.
In Russia we call them "Umbrella mushrooms". Usually, the "head" was collected, and the stem is discarded. Fried on a pan it tastes like a chicken meat. Tender, and flavour-rich. It is a close relative of the classic champignon .
This mushroom introduced me to one of my favourite words in the English language, Deliquescing or the proses of organic matter becoming liquid through rapid decomposition.
After watching one of your videos a while ago about growing mushrooms at home I bought a kit for grey oysters. Only ever had shop bought button, porchini and chestnut before. It's taken a while but it's starting to fruit now, very exciting! Keep it up Cody, hope you're feeling better than you did a while ago. Best wishes, another victim of the black dog here in the UK
I kinda love how some of the parks here in washington state use wood chips as substrate for playgrounds and city parks. I've found really good morels (not false) at the county park in the woodchips!
The weird thing is I found a Shaggy Mane for the first time across the street from my house last month... in Australia. Despite being in opposite seasons these mushrooms somehow manage to grow. I took it home and ate it. I also like to show my friends what I eat and the first reaction always is 'zomg! Aren't you afraid you'll die!?' I had a nice glass of wine with it as I was certain it wasn't the type to make you really sick when drinking alcohol.
I usually just use a little bit of vegetable oil and some salt when cooking mushrooms. Around here also Cody if you read this theres a species of mushroom called morels and I dont think they grow up north, but on the east coast in forests they're very prevalent and extremely delicious, but also very hard to find and the only grow in the spring months. And there's 3 types, grey morels which come on April-may, blondes which usually come in may after the greys and if I'm not mistaken the blonde morels are a large form of the greys. And in late may and early June the black morels come. But they're slightly toxic but still edible just not very good.
I had a similar thing happen this week at a local park. I found a young oak sapling not an inch above the playground mulch. Dug up the entire taproot and planted it a large pot at home. Local parks got some neat stuff if you look a little.
A lot of mushrooms decay pretty rapidly but shaggy ink cap even more so. Not quite sure why but at least when they do they become useful as ink hence the name. I found that freezing them keeps them good for about one to two extra days after harvesting
a thing you can do is kind of ferment the mushrooms. I saw a video on Bon Appétit in their series "It's alive" where the host "fermented" the mushrooms. He wasn't sure if he was fermenting them or just marinating as the process took a week and he isn't sure how long they will keep but he used them in an asian dish. He fements/marinates them in soy sauce, 2 different types of mirin and shouyo sauce. He also address the whole wash or not to wash mushroom debate and references a study that basically said it doesn't matter or at least that's what he took from it. In the end he makes a stir fry.
I loved the purring as the mushroom decomposition was shown in quick time! It was amazing to watch. Thank you for another excellent, entertaining and educational video. Stay safe.
As a professional Chef, I agree with your comment. It does pain me to watch you cook mushrooms. That being said, as someone who enjoys wild mushrooms, I have loved this series.
I love to "hunt" mushrooms in the autumn, here in Europe. Here we have species which are quite tasty. Not as diverse as in the U.S. but that makes the hunt more interesting. Some species are extremely difficult to find! As Cody rightly mentioned: be very careful while gathering mushrooms. If there is any doubt, there is not doubt. Leave it alone! Only pick up the species which you undoubtedly know. If you have to think twice... don't harvest it! Stay safe!
This my favorite mushroom. Years I worked at Pine Point Northwest Territory and one September morning I woke up and the sides of the road and everywhere was white with Shaggy Mane mushrooms. Couldn't walk far without stepping on them. So I picked many but now was a problem of how to get the grit out of them. So I put them in boiling water for a few minutes. The sand released and fell to the bottom and the pretty much clean mushroom was ok to eat.
Should’ve used a onion sack to store the mushrooms so their spores can drop out of your bag. Also collect all water cuttings etc. when cleaning and toss them in your backyard to grow some for yourself
The baseball field at my old elementary school would be absolutely full of these mushrooms and we would go around kicking them. Unless there's a similar looking species
At the end, I thought you we’re ASMR mushrooming us. 😉 There’s a calm, methodical nature to your videos that makes watching them soothing, educational and great to watch. Thanks.
Hello cody from here in the UK. We to have ink cap varieties and they deteriorate just as quickly. The second one you found with the long narrowing stem we call the common ink cap, we generally regard them as inedible, not because they are poisonous just not worth the effort. The shaggy though is one of my favourites to. Good advice also for you only eat the wrong mushroom once.
Try it with butter next time. Heat your pan until the butter starts to boil then toss in the mushrooms. Salt and a pinch if finely ground white or black pepper.
Regardless of plucking or pulling, surely removing the millions of spores would slightly reduce the chances of germination in another location. Anyway, the mycelium covers more than the base of the stem, and if that's not perennial leaving nothing to mature would be a bigger problem. Caveat... I know nothing, but applaud questions and investigation.
Great video, mushroom hunting, harvesting, and eating, thanks Cody! My mouth was drooling, I love mushrooms! I sure wish I could walk better, I'd be hunting those right now.
Certain types of mushrooms can leech a metallic flavor from some nonstick pans. Honestly it depends on the pan with the type of mushroom but nothing bad usually happens
@@jeffgoldblunt The scientist in me has gotta ask... how would you know the metallic flavour wan't inherent, instead of leeching which doesn't really make sense with non-stick .. but may be possible with cast iron, or aluminium.
Was camping once, and got told about that these are edible, and for anybody wondering, yes if you eat them raw when they are already black you mouth WILL turn black and yes it's hard to get out of your mouth.
In the UK they called them Lawyers Wigs as well, since Queens Councils wear silly wigs to feel important (tradition ;-)). The Ink-caps here I believe only cause illness in some with alcohol.
I have tons of these mushrooms in my woods if you want some more. I’ve collected just a few pounds but haven’t got the balls to eat them yet. But they do hold up in the fridge fairly well for about a week, especially the immature ones
'I'll be coming back at ya with something shroom... or carbon. Alright, cool. See ya.' side note: i'm usually the last person to worry about safety, but every time i see someone start using a mandolin slicer without the guard, my mind says 'this is gonna end badly.' Am i the only one?
I found and picked a bunch of these growing in a park just like cody. I didn't know they were edible! I stayed up late that night coating them in investment plaster and cast em out of brass!! Wish i ate them...
Hey Cody! Love your videos. I would like to recommend using a basket or cloth container the next time you go picking. If you use something that is more open then you'll be spreading spores as you walk, thus encouraging more growth next year.
"All mushrooms are edible. Some of them only once" - Terry Pratchett And the second time this week I've got to use this quote, the other was on Chicken of the Woods video from Haze Outdoors :-)
i think we have some of these growing in our backyard, i always wondered what kind of mushroom turns into black goo. i will do some further research on that though.
Comment from Germany. We collect them all the time. You can also eat the ones which are already decomposing. The stem is Allright. (Unless nasty or dry)
I just found some in the cemetery in the area. The rain and cold must have triggered them to fruit. If you want any advice or help with cultivation, just let me know. I’m local and happy to help
Heh, when I was young, I once saw a lot of those at the edge of town on the way home after school and I wanted to bring them home for my parents. One of my elementary school teachers saw me collecting them and she was completely freaking out because of that :D
One small problem with Inkcaps - they contain a chemical which will make you rather ill if you drink alcohol whilst, or several hours after you eat them. It was used in a drug called 'Antabuse', used to treat chronic alcoholism. Other than that, they are fine. I've eaten them many times. I prefer Parasol mushrooms, myself, but Inkcaps will do. I very much liked the way you refer to the mushroom as a 'Creature'. I've always considered fungi to be more animal than vegetable - some books I own refer to the flesh of them as 'meat'.
Pretty common around Britain where I used to live, and not easily confused with toxic ones. I can vouch for their tastiness. Better fried in butter though IMHO.

Yes yes yes! That'd be a video series I'd love to watch: Foraging with Cody.
Learn to recognize all those herbs, flowers, mushrooms, and how to prepare and cook them, and possibly preserve them as well. Nice.
Are you familiar with the work of Euell Gibbons?

Are you referencing klesch guitars paydirt videos or something else?

holding the camera while cooking is very challenging. give Cody a little break here.

Hey Cody!
I've been following since a long time...
Just curious about the Mars one program that you got selected in. Is it still on?
I kinda love how some of the parks here in washington state use wood chips as substrate for playgrounds and city parks. I've found really good morels (not false) at the county park in the woodchips!

Why do they dissolve so rapidly whats the reaction?
genetically engineer one to not self digest...or would that cause other problems?
Seems like some sort of oxidation reaction with air that is normally stopped when the mushroom can interact with the soil.
Autolysis. The hyphae in the cap dissolve and produce this sticky fluid. This then attrackts insects and sticks to them thus being spread.
A lot of mushrooms decay pretty rapidly but shaggy ink cap even more so. Not quite sure why but at least when they do they become useful as ink hence the name. I found that freezing them keeps them good for about one to two extra days after harvesting
They do have enzymes meant to digest their own cell walls, once they mature or stop receiving nutrients from the mycelium they release them.
a thing you can do is kind of ferment the mushrooms. I saw a video on Bon Appétit in their series "It's alive" where the host "fermented" the mushrooms.

I'd be shitting bricks, if I knew I was about to ingest some of those, but then again, I'm not a rocket janitor.
A good thing to do when you're cooking mushrooms in my opinion is instead of oil use a little bit of Italian dressing gives it a nice flavor.

In the UK they called them Lawyers Wigs as well, since Queens Councils wear silly wigs to feel important (tradition ;-)). The Ink-caps here I believe only cause illness in some with alcohol.

Who else thinks Cody should draw a map of his property so we can get a sense of scale
Maybe take a soil sample to run some tests on, see if there's anything about that area that could help you in growing them successfully?

Yeah they love growing out of wood chips and mulch for some reason.
Rotting wood makes soil fertile. Inkcaps love fertile soil, they even grow on raw manure.
Dude this was awesome! I don't like mushrooms but those fresh ones, cut open, dang. Great viddy!
Here in Sweden they do tend to grow close to roads, quite a lot of them.
Which is nice, but all the traffic makes you not really want to eat them :D
The first shroom you are showing is so pretty that it's coming right out of the book.

OK after the oil and salt, add a little garlic some fresh chili and a splash of white wine.
I'm glad I can drink my wine with my Shaggy Cap.
I swear I see these randomly grow around Tucson. Noticeably in gravel.
I live in the desert and we have little vegetation wish we had stuff like this here in West Texas.
I just found some in the cemetery in the area. The rain and cold must have triggered them to fruit. If you want any advice or help with cultivation, just let me know. I’m local and happy to help
I hunted shaggy manes as a kid. One year I hit the jackpot and pulled about 30 young ones from around a stump.
Cody is about to go down the mushroom hobby rabbit hole.
So cool using the self digesting ink cap AS ink!!!
Heh, when I was young, I once saw a lot of those at the edge of town on the way home after school and I wanted to bring them home for my parents. One of my elementary school teachers saw me collecting them and she was completely freaking out because of that :D
Very nice! I always wanted to try these mushrooms. I think mushrooms taste best with butter instead oil.
"Mushrooms can be quite dangerous"
Uses mercury for mouthwash.
One small problem with Inkcaps - they contain a chemical which will make you rather ill if you drink alcohol whilst, or several hours after you eat them. It was used in a drug called 'Antabuse', used to treat chronic alcoholism. Other than that, they are fine. I've eaten them many times. I prefer Parasol mushrooms, myself, but Inkcaps will do.

Careful with collecting mushrooms into plastic bags, it can be dangerous
