    This should be a whole new series. Brad and Vin going around with local foragers from all different parts of the states. Finding what ever they can, berries, mushrooms, and edible plants/flowers. Then teaching awesome ways to cook with them! You would have to go to the same places several times of year to see the differences in what is available based on season.

    Hey Brad, this was a great episode! I'm from Czech Republic and mushroom picking is our national past time. Czech people are crazy about mushrooms. Every fall the forest roads are lined with parked cars and everybody has a spare basket in the trunk just in case. An average Czech can recognise dozens of edible kinds and often many that are inedible raw, but edible after you prepare them properly. The lore on how to recognise them and how to prepare them as well as many recipes are passed on through generations. We love all kinds of Boletus mushrooms, but my personal favorite are Leccinum, those grow mainly under birch or aspen trees, and Armillaria and Clitocybe (or wood blewit), which are hands down the best mushrooms to pickle! I hope that Americans soon find their way to this amazing past time as well!

      From the other side of the Czech-Austrian border, at least in the Wald- and Weinviertel people are crazy about mushroom foraging, as well. Sadly when I grew up there was a lot of panic about mushrooms being contaminated from the Chernobyl accident so we only ever went foraging once or twice when I was a really small child. Sigh.

    Leave the mushrooms you're not interested in, in this case anything but a bolete and chantrelle, to sporulate until the end of their life cycle. If you pick them but deem them unworthy to bring home, cut / crumble them up and spread them around the area to encourage spreading of the organism since mycelium can also grow from the fruiting bodies. Not mandatory practices, but it'll make your more experienced foraging buddies smile if they see you do them.

      I highly disagree. Leaving the stipe can rot the mycelium and risk destroying the whole colony. Twisting and removing the entire fruit body is much better for the organism.

    Story time!
    When I was taking AP biology one of the only units I remember is the one on fungi. This is because fungi are everywhere and are actually related more closely to animals than any other kingdom.
    The mycelium (basically the roots of a mushroom and the main body of the organism) can be huge covering miles underground and you’re pretty much always breathing in thousands of spores.
    Therefore I eventually came to the conclusion that if fungi evolved in the right way they could totally decimate us. (After all there are plenty of parasitic fungi like the infamous Ophiocordyceps unilateralis)
    So in conclusion fungi rules us all👍🏻

      It is definitely genus Russula, not Leucopaxillus. Notice the 'brittle gills' (the moniker for this genus) when Brad drags his knife across them. Some Russula species are extremely spicy when raw and need to be boiled in a change of water to make palatable, but there are no toxic members of the genus Russula. Even the species Russula emetica has actually been proven to be non-toxic, just unpalatable unless properly prepared.

    As a Latvian, it is so weird to see people go mushroom picking and not recognizing them, because for us it is like a national sport haha. Everybody goes to the woods since they are, like, little children and the best mushroom spots are usually kept as large secrets, even from family members lol. That mushroom at around 9:32 is called "Bērzlape" in Latvian. I dunno how it is called in English but it's Latin name is Russula claroflava. They come in all types of colours and here, in Latvia, the red one is more common. ALSO a BIG NOTE: you are supposed to use the knife to CUT the mushroom, not just wiggle and pull it out. You are not using the end part of it anyway, so leave the root part alone so it grows soo many more mushrooms out of there.

    Small addendum to the whole about being careful with mushrooms, and making sure you have someone with you who knows what they're doing: Please be aware that sometimes even professional mushroom foragers can be wrong, so please be very careful when foraging for mushrooms, if you're even slightly in doubt about a mushroom, either throw it out, or eat it while someone else is with you who doesn't eat it.
