@@mushroomwonderland1 since discovering your videos the fever is burning..I was thinking perhaps I want to slide down that rabbit hole you were referring to and was so thrilled when I heard you speak of teaching courses relating directly to the fever..
Your generous sharing ok knowledge has really improved my foraging and identifying skills! Thank you! Brought home a fat haul of goldens last weekend! 🍄
What a lovely video! Thank you. The reishi are all sporting in my forest so today I made a nice haul. Our chanterelle season was a banger for about 6 weeks here in central Florida. When the hurricane came through in early august they just stopped. They are coming back again now but it’s the winter ones. I found red chants the size of my fist with those cool ruffles on the top too. This forest is very clean. I think the ruffles are because the area is pristine not the opposite. 😊
You know Aaron, I tell everyone I know to look you up if they have any questions. We ALL LOVE YOU!!! You are wise and fun. Someday I will run into you on a trail... Someday😇 I hope and soon. 😉
This might be my favorite video of yours, foraging porn with the Phantom in the Forest! After watching your previous chanterelle video I had to check it out and found a ton white and golden beauties in a nearby forest…thanks Aaron!
Thank you for the amazing video!! The only chanterelles i can find in my area have all been mini chanterelles but they are still just as pretty! Im hoping to find some oyster mushrooms or lions mane soon! Thank you for the amazing mushroom content, your videos are consistently high quality and very educational!
Your chanterrals are so different than ours. I have to get mine very small because they're full of worms and yours are just firm and beautiful. I'm At the top of missouribut I also go to illinois
That's interesting. Because in Norway too, it's really rare for chanterelles to be wormy. I found a absolutely huge hedgehog mushroom on Sunday though(on the way back to the car of course). Sadly it was full of worms, so I stuck it on a dead branch so it could hopefully spread spores more easily XD
Interesting. We're on Vancouver Island, We get white and golden Chant's. I've found whites that are average small fist size that are almost shredded with worms. Yet found a number of ones that were 10" across and pristine. Maybe it's something just a tiny bit different in the soil in an exact spot that makes them appealing or unappealing to the bugs. Another myco mystery.
I paused again and when out for a forage and bagged about 5lbs. Whoot! Monster whites i one of my usual spots. I gotta say, those ones you got are crazy clean!! Mine are in the sink waiting to be power washed!!! LOL! Sticky, rotting duff and fir needles are a PITA to get off. I take and cook the damaged and slightly wormed ones too. Once fried up, can't tell the diff. :)
Not getting a lot of moisture yet in Southern Oregon but hopeful to find my first chanterelles soon! Thanks for the video! Do the white ones also have a fruity smell like the yellow ones?
Exactly my lament watching this. My wife and I found a handful at cape perpetuta a couple of weeks ago. Heading up to lake of the woods this weekend hoping the little rain we had was enough.
Oh! The envy! 😅 Awesome haul, Aaron! 1st step - get off my butt, 2nd step - go outside 😂... It's good to see Loki out with Gunner! Hopefully, the youngster will pick up some good habits and some hunting manners. 🐾♥️🐾 I almost missed the end! I would have missed the story of you bumping into the bush guy! That would have been sad! I love a good laugh like that! 😂😅😂😅
I just learned of the earth star puffball from another local channel & the very next day, I came across one at a customers house. It was already blown out but still in tact & really cool to see. You should collaborate with that guy from mushroom trail. I think that's his channel name. He said he lives an hour or so away but you guys have been posting matching vids, neck & neck, in identical climate.
I just found grey puffballs and meadow puffballs in my yard, but I'm a beginner and need more experience before I eat them We should also have sellers boletes coming soon as I found them in October last year We are in north Idaho
À little hello from France 👏👋🇨🇵, where we also are big fans of mushrooms,... Chanterelles, yes, but so much less big than yours, unfortunately..! We're so jealous.. But.. This is a pretty good season with Cèpes, boletes, and many others😅I wish you the best with the weather, keep on like this😜👋 (in France we only use wooden baskets to harvest mushroom, plastic bags or buckets aren't ideal for them..?..) 👍👌💋Valérie
Oh man you have the spots down! We forage high and low on Whidbey and rarely find these beauty's.. we find oodles of questionable fungi and occasional matsutake
Just hit pause 5 mins in to read though the comments. 93 comments and not one person complaining you pulled some out of the ground! Impressive! People must be learning! LOL!
Ive found a ton of lobster mushrooms almost every where I go. Lots more then usual. Ive only found a few golds right here in town. Tomorrow I going up a bit higher out by lake dawn and the park that should be really good.
I've found ferns and Cedar are a no joy for Chant's. Just a personal observation over the years. Definitely around the edge on in the Salal, as long as it's not too dense. No more than dappled sun.
I’m just wondering if those mutations on top could have anything to do with available oxygen? It reminds me of mutations I’ve seen growing mushrooms in a tote. If the CO2 gets too high, they will open up with gills on top of the cap.
We do! White and golden. It's funny, but it really doesn't take much variation to either make or break where they grow. Even just a tiny elevation change, other plants growing, etc. Lot's of boxes to tick to be 'just right'. :)
I wonder how El Nino/La Nina effects mushroom season. I believe there was a Nino last fall/winter, which usually makes it drier/slightly warmer in the PNW. No Nino this year = Better mushroom conditions maybe.
I once found an area that had what was shaped like chanterelles but they were lavender and smelled a little like garlic. I had no idea what it was but it looked like a chantarelle.
This means I need to keep my eyes open, for Cantharellus subaldibus X Psilocybe (smelled like anis ..and looked like a pale allenii), bred with it and returned some to the source decor. I am so anxious to try one, some of these hybrids make me wait more than a year to see them again. Also making an Agaricus alvesis X Panaeolus cyanescens (Sertonin-producing) hybrid. Spore colours match and another potentially anis flavoured hybrid. A friend brought the horse mushroom from the patch I fertilised with fancy Pans, so I might be ahead a step for sharing spores reliably.
You could cut the bottom of the bucket off & replace it with mesh hardware cloth so the mushrooms don't get soggy & you are spreading spores more effectively. It's wild that your channel is in my top 5, I love the outdoors & haven't been out much since I moved up here. My back is toast & I can barely make it thru a day of work, let alone a hike. It's making me depressed & I don't have any friends or family up here so your vids keep me alive. I really do greatly appreciate your vids Aaron, thank you.
Perfect! That's how I do them. Pinch of salt too. You can also pour off the juice before it evaporates off. Freeze it in a container in portions. Once frozen, knock the puck out of the container and vac seal and freeze. Good for soup stock and gravy base.
Hi Aaron, I have a question. I performed a taste spit test on a mushroom and the tip of my tongue felt tingly. What does that mean? also will the UV lights help on all non-ediblemushrooms? I was out foraging out at Schaeffer State Park in Mason County. Came across some mushrooms that look a lot like the Chantrell, they’re white very similar the ones that you’re showing on this video.
@@Hector-vx5yc they probably were white chanterelles, The forest is lousy with them right now. The UV light only reacts to certain mushrooms. A tingly tongue could be a sign of it being acrid or spicy.
Do cedar trees impact chanterelles? I have 15%-20% cedars mixed with mostly Douglas, Hemlock and a few cottonwoods and have never found a chanterelle (in sequim)
So glad to see someone else thinking this! I find the same. If there's cedars, it'll be a bust. My guess is the acidity the cedar may create in the soil. But I'm no smart person, so pure guess. Thanks for mentioning it. At least I'm not alone in my theory! Happy hunting!
@@wingnutbert9685 I was told that truffles don’t usually grow under cedars because cedars have anti microbial properties. I was wondering if that would apply to chanterelles as well?
@@TiffanyCloud That's interesting. Definitely could be some chemical in them that fends off 'intruders' into their resource area of their roots. Would make a lot of sense. I'll have to take note next truffle season. Funny as it sounds, (or even like complete BS...), my little 4.5lb Chihuahua, Loonie, is a truffle pig!! She goes ape-schit digging them up and eating them. Anything from pea size to golf ball size. Big ones we have to take away as she'll eat the whole thing! She's like a badger, scratching down a hole and shoveling with her nose until she gets it. And she'll dig 6"+ in packed soil to get them. I really need to get it on video as it's so hard to believe a Chi would do that.
Seriously how are you getting mushrooms? And how are most importantly how are you getting rain? Technically most of the country is still reporting massive heat waves. As I have mentioned earlier it's so dry a fire could ignite the entire Midwest at this point!
By the way it's like the first time ever that you used a bucket! I definitely think you need more holes! I know you're not as patient as me but I generally put thousands of holes in my bucket. The less weight the better! Because when you have a full bucket your arms will really feel it walking back! And if it's hot out it's definitely undesirable and dreadful. So yeah I've been trying to think of a way how I can put some wheels on it and pull it with a string!
Pps typically nobody cares how about you forging mushrooms in the woods. so trying to run away from other people in the forest or hide is kind of ridiculous. it's pretty rare to come across other mushroom foragers. But with any public areas competition is a concern. As far as being on public or private lands at not allowed it's rare that you would ever get talk to or process 4. I'm just stating this because a lot of them worries that people do is really only in their own head. Always do your own thing! This year I've been getting looked at a lot because I've been wearing a mesh from head to toe and everyone looks at me crazy! But I'm enjoying myself and collected mushrooms and not a single mosquito can bother me while others get eaten alive! Stay true brother! As you said the season has just begun! Just hope it doesn't instantly freeze and cut your season short as it has in the past to all of us!
If you were in tacoma and had an elderly father you take care of so you can’t ever be gone for too long, You finally have a day that you can get away for a good six hours, Where are you going to find mushrooms
@@mushroomwonderland1 brown creek. 👌 Man I want to find a porcini. Want to see why they are so popular. I am really fascinated by mushrooms but I just can’t get out to look for them very much. I go to local parks and lakes with my dog a lot but rarely get out in the woods anymore.
Wish u would give us a freakin clue as to the area u find these on. At 46yo I can’t hike like I used too. Need a hip replacement… Guess u gotta keep the secret to yourself.
Chante-cybes? ..I went night foraging, out of desire to collect the tallish red-capped King Oyster X Psilocybe hybrid with the somewhat decurrent gills. Instead, I returned from the dark forest with another decurrent hybrid, that is shorter and has decurrent gills due to the shorter Cantharellus parent. The earliest "Chante-cybes" were thumb-shaped and yellow ..these look more like Psilocybes, as though they are back-crossed to Psilocybe and fruit later. These are a slightly yellowish hybrid, that have slightly decurrent gills. I want them now, I noticed there has been no rain for four days, yet not one specimen is bug-eaten nor over-ripe ..handy genetic traits to select for and the complete impotency of Cantharellus is already genetically altered with Psilocybin-producing DNA, in this case ..half-way to a dominant Psilocybin-producing trait.
Soo... if picking them only helps populate growth, then why is it regulated??? I would just fill a bucket, dump it in my backpack & then fill another bucket. I'm done following stupid laws that are only made to make money from us & further restrict our freedoms! Don't tell me I live in a free country but restrict me soo much that we don't have freedoms.

@mushroomwonderland1 the, "conservation" part is pocketed & spent elsewhere. It should all go to the study of fungi!

Maybe you should educate these ignorant folk on how to do their job... that they clearly know nothing about. Just saying...

"Golden Chanterelles" in the PNW comprise at least a few different species, I think.
