What I like about Adam's philosophy is that he is realistic and pragmatic and not just an idealist.....it would be wonderful if we could reduce our dependency on synthetic dyes etc....but realistically it is not going to happen quickly because greed and ignorance will always be with us....but we can adopt other strategies to mitigate the environmental impact of dyes and know that nature can help us do this if we help it
Paul Stamets tested a buoy consisting of multiple bags of oyster mushroom spawn during the gulf oil spill some years back by stretching it across the entrance to a river delta. Not only did it survive the brackish water conditions and do its job, but the mushrooms it generated made great snacks for the local wildlife, turning toxic gooey crude into biomass for the surrounding ecosystem. He's also used edible mushroom cultivation as a way to remove ecoli from the runoff from his chicken coop and discovered seriously powerful antibiotic and antiviral compounds effective against TB, pox and flu in wild Agarikon mushrooms. these compounds were so potent that when the DoD tested them they even killed Smallpox and Birdflu. In the event of another 1918 flu pandemic having these mushrooms available for medicine could save lives. Stamets is campaigning to have saving the old growth forests where Agarikon live made a matter of National Security.
He's great:)
Love all his talks need to buy his books
It be amazing if we found uses for mushroom instead of using more plastics
Trying this mushroom today! Cooking em up in a few minutes. Can't wait to try this. Just found em today.
thanks for the info....i like the ending when you mentioned greed....greed is a very dangerous thing in many many ways.
A-greed!
Thanks for taking the time to teach :)
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
You are so great! Thank you for the solid information relayed in an understandable fashion. Your love and respect for the fungal kingdom comes through, and backed up by the chemistry. thank you!
You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words!
So I found some young ones today. I cubed the tender margines, sautéed them in butter, and then simmered them in a few cups of water for a good hour and a half or two hours. The liquid was a deep dark brown, and with a little bit of added salt it could confuse anyone that it was a rich beef broth. I’m amazed at this little mushroom! I’m also dehydrating some more to make tea- as a tea it is a rather agreeable earthiness, and I prefer it unsweetened. My 4 and 5 year old boys also really enjoy the tea :)
I’m struggling to find any health benefits of this mushroom- have you come across any?
Thanks for the information
Luv yer content bruv. You've come a long way n the knowledgr is growing no!? Much respect! ; D
Great explanation.
I always come back to this video and would love an update if any further research has been done. Lately a report was released that drinking rainwater is no longer safe anywhere on earth as far as US standards say due to the amount of PFAs, aka 'Forever chemicals'.
Wondering how we can maximize fungus in doing what it does best to purify our waterways and systems.
Great video, Good Say Adam 👍
Excellent and informative video!...I can say i know a fair amount about wild mushrooms but that's a lot of new information to me. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge..
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Well I loved this
Great video. I'm gonna harvest some of these today in southern ohio
Excellent! Question: if this mushroom is growing where the soil is polluted, the mushroom itself might still be fine, isn't it? Would it make sense to take a piece of it and transfer its spores to another location or compost?
Informative videos and enjoyable even though most stuff isn't native to the British isles. Dandelions we share lol.
I just found some ischnoderma resinosum today cut it up and am dehydrating it. Is this okay to use as a medicinal tea. I found it growing on dead American Beech.
Have there been any new developments in the use of I . Resinosum since you last published?
Could you point me to studies about their bioremediation abilities? I couldn't find any. Thank you
So i found something tbat looks like this but it also looks like waxy cap. Found on eastern hemlock early this april. Its really dried though
Could it be hemlock varnish shelf?
Great video. Seen many of these in SW England. Do you accept people sending you the odd picture of fungi for identification? No doubt you have many people trying, though you may find it interesting to see some fungi from across the pond.
Yes, of course - feel free to send photos to: adam (at) learnyourland (dot) com
Thanks for checking out the video!
well done again, but no surprise there sir
Thanks, Jack. One of these days I might surprise you!
Thats a Cherry tree. - I also find them on maple, and beech.
❤️🙏
How do we get this mushroom to break down these dyes?
It breaks down the log my growing eating it
Do we need to grow it on these dyes?
I can see them growing on wood mixed with dye somehow
How it would work to this scale might be tricky
Hello! I have cultures of this mushroom, i could send you a liquid culture within a few weeks. But this mushroom also grows well in septic environment - simply cut fruitbodies into 1 cm pieces and mix them together with wet hardwood dust/chips. After 5-7 days you should see the mycelium.
@@okin8949 cool thanks ya it grows wild close by so I would not need a liquid culture but thanks for the offer
I do want to grow mushrooms soon but I really want a pressure cooker to help with that
Thanks have a great day much love xoxox
Great video Adam. Question for you: Since fungi are so good at consuming environmental toxins, does that mean they are becoming more dangerous for us to ingest? Or are the toxins generally broken down by the fungi into benign compounds? Thanks!
Jon, that's a great question, and it all depends on the environmental toxins, the species of fungi, and time. Mushrooms that can break down hydrocarbons like oil have been shown to completely detoxify the contaminants so that no toxicity remains in the fruiting bodies. However, with morel mushrooms, the fungi inhabiting abandoned apple orchards once sprayed with lead arsenate can bioaccumulate the toxins in the fruiting bodies... still to this day (even though these pesticides were sprayed decades ago). Are you familiar with Paul Stamets and his work? Mycelium Running is an excellent resource.
Super, thanks so much for the info. I will look up Paul. Keep up the great work my friend!
Yes Paul is great!
I was wondering this question too thanks
I find some Amanita and bolete mushrooms that almost look metallic in certain areas only I read that some mushrooms will take up minerals well so good to keep in mind
@@LearnYourLandhey I'm in sw pa mt davis can I join your forage group?
This is a medicine mushroom?
ส่วนมากจะใช้ในอุตสาหกรรมสีย้อมในเสื้อผ้าและเครื่องสำอางค์มากกว่าเป็นยาค่ะ
Is it edible
Edible?.... or a fungus used strictly for pollutant cleanup out in nature? (both important for continued human existence).
.....another great video, by the way.
Steve - yes, this mushroom is edible when young. As it gets older, the texture becomes too tough to consume.
Thanks!
I only harvest the tenderest outer edge. It adds a nice flavor and texture to soups and stews.
This is a wonderful edible when you harvest the outer edge. One of my favorites.
How could you not mention the smell? 🧐🧐
Awesome. So we just need to build a wooden dam with these mushrooms impregnated into it. Bada bing. You're welcome plant earth.
Exactly. :D
That's a great idea
Like filtering oil and water with straw and oyster mushrooms
I miss longhaired Adam.
