I was camping along a stream in Silverton Colorado. Tons of mushrooms and small flies. I harvested a few fly agaric and did a test. I put out 2 small bowls of milk. One with the fly agaric and one without. By midday the fly agaric one was filled with flies. The other only had a few. I used it for the entire week and caught quite literally a thousand flies. I don't know why it attracted them but it definitely did.
Looking good man, my 2 cents i would make another christmas video on the amanita. Honestly people watch your videos like a tv channel looking everyday for somthing to watch. Usually not going back thru old videos. The more videos the stronger your channel will be. Then when somone does discover you they can bindge watch all your videos and become obsessed and buy merch. Its weird i feel like i know you man. Even came up to seattle a few weeks ago to buy some fresh candy xaps for cloning and the guys that collected them knew you and you and you were a big topic and way to talk with others about episodes watched its a good conversation piece and brings us together. Were all working in the backround and you dont know who we are but your making the wheels turn my friend. Thanks for all you do youll probably meet me one day. If the pope was in front of you i would ask him to move so i could ahake your hand. Your the real star here bro.
Hey Aaron, great reminder that the mushroom season can vary greatly from one region to the next. I aaked Santa for a dehydrator so that 1, I can start saving some specimens for sequencing and 2, perhaps I can enjoy some nice mushrooms during the cold winter in NY! 🍄♥️🍄🟫♥️
I just tried Clavulina coralloides for the first time this weekend since nothing else was really fruiting where I was at. I really liked it! Had a buttery taste despite frying it in a neutral tasting oil with nothing but salt. Texture's nice, the thin bits get crispy. But they're a pain to clean and you do need to be mindful of both ID and infection with parasitic fungi so honestly if I already had a basket full of yellowfoot I'd have left them behind too.
Hey Aaron; Great videos. I have learned a lot from you. Went out yesterday and found some turkey tail mushrooms. When you make tea, do you dry them and crush them into powder or just put a couple of sprigs of them into boiling water to make the tea. Thanks for your feedback. With your help , I have become a mushroom fanatic😅.
Aaron, is there a Mushroom App that you recommend? I find the ones I use as not too accurate and trustworthy. And I also went out today and found several mushrooms that you identified on this video. Your the best!
My grandparents and my dad are coming from generations of mushroom hunters and they cringe seeing people pulling out the mushrooms like that with the “root”. I understand your thinking behind it: that mycelium is omnipresent underground and the spores are dropped all over the place. However, pulling by hand like this is like leaving plastic bags and beer cans after you camped. No no no! please, always use the knife and cu close to the ground, but cut the stem and never !ever! pull it out of the ground. It’s just a way to show respect to nature.
@@alexp.6406 sorry, but you're wrong. It's fine to pluck mushrooms, doesn't hurt anything. Your ancestors also thought they were plants, they behave differently.
Hey Aren I probably butchered the spelling of your name, sorry. I wanted to tell you about the turkey tails that grow here in North Carolina, there are tons of them but they are white with different shades of tan and cream colors. When I first found them I thought they were old and washed out but they were fresh, so different from the ones in Washington. Pretty crazy huh.
Ayy. So if Russula Brevipies damages red. Does the parasitic fungus find the damage? Maybe the spore is damaged and that’s when it becomes a lobster. Because in my short “career.” I seem to find lobster in soil that was disturbed? Has a reddish russula ever been tested for the parasitic fungus? I am sure it has. Just thought.
Fun fact: Despite Elon likes to make children so that he can give them funny names, he never named one of his daughters Amanita. Weird don't you think?

I am continuously amazed at the amount of mushrooms we have in the PNW. One of my favorite subjects to photograph.
Fairy Rings are simply magical

Love this into! Mushrooms are so fascinating! Thanks for showing us how much is out there!

@@Johnny-ur2st thanks for the kind words, hope to meet ya sometime! I should make another Christmas vid, good idea 💡 maybe next year.
I love your videos! They motivate me to get outside and find all the mushrooms you identify!
That panther cap was beautiful! That brown is such a cool color
@@lifeonfilm65 it really is!
I love oysters, they were my first forage super easy to identify and tasty too.

I found a dehydrator in the E-waste (electronic and electrical waste) dumpster at the town dump and repaired it.
another great and fantastic video, thankx Aaron. 👍🍄🤩And the music background is cool and funny, fits perfectly in the pre-Christmas season
@@thow5463 Thanks for the kind words and for your support!
I thought the reindeer and Santa flew with the magic dust, that's what cheech and Chong said anyway.
" a little dust for the reindeer, a little dust for Santa, a little more dust for Santa....."
I was always told it was magic corn.

I like the buck rubs you came across.

keep up the good work...
That is crazy... How are you finding them? Where I am I can't find any.
@@th8298 whereabouts are you? It's been pretty mild here in Western Washington so it's like fall just continues on.
Around cowlitz.
I guess I should go out towards Rose valley. My sister is telling me she is finding many.
I found a small flush of late fall oysters yesterday on a dead Oak. Didn't know until I saw them in this vid.
Just as you’re saying how nice it is to have them with you for companionship, they take off-Where you guys going??? 😂😂😂
Do you have a tracking collar on Loki? I can totally see him getting lost out there
I've pickled the grey coral with balsamic vinegar and it's yummy with pasta
@@deannawroblewski8776 sounds like a good idea!

I got a log with Turkey tails but it also grows brown lumps.
First to the comments lmao way late to the like button come on everyone smash that like button for Aaron and MW mushlove

@@davideastman5024 Yeah it could be a different species of Trametes, But they also take on a lot of different forms!
Those winter Chantelles would be delicious for a breakfast omelette in December, what part of Washington exactly are you at?
@@alexp.6406 Kitsap Peninsula, right on the center of the Puget sound
Seems like a weird year for mushrooms. Maybe the dry fall years before cause them to fruit differently and more?

@@TheChronicOutdoorsSyndrome No that's a different Russula
@ Thank you. Thank you for teaching me tons. ❤️
Loki knows what's up! It's a shame you missed out on a prize truffle that he was trying to show you... maybe...!!!
Should not pull from root
Fun fact: Despite Elon likes to make children so that he can give them funny names, he never named one of his daughters Amanita. Weird don't you think?
...and keep in mind that he is in the flying business!!
7:00... ope!! You stepped inside that fairy ring!!! You know what you have to do now Aaron!!!
