I very often find Chanterelles, False Chanterelles and Jack O Lanterns fairly close together. Once you understand the features of each they are easy to distinguish but ya definitely gotta be diligent. Great video! Following ya on Instagram now as well 👍🍄
I don't know if you're with a mushroom society but my daughter is Alyssa Allen she's a master Dyer using mushrooms and fungi in Seattle. We've been picking mushrooms for about 25 years in this lovely area❤
Enjoying all the videos. Would you consider doing a woods safety video for al the beginners who are venturing further into the woods. Like animal encounter safety tips ect.
Thank you !!! I have all the mushrooms growing in my yard...the shaggy mushroom...I don't know anything to eat them but I wanted to know if they were safe... don't want my puppy to eat them...I just dig them up before they turn to ink...thank you again...if was a fun adventure 🙋
They also used to use ammonia species for especially the fly agaric they would put it in sweetened milk and the flies would be attracted to it and it would kill them.😮
If you find 1 king bolete (prawdzywki) there is always another one or 2 near by (within 5 feet,). I pick these, and many others . 😀 Slippery Jacks (myślaki) are Delightful eats. Just a pain to clean. But we've them.
Fun video. Smart to bank footage ahead of time. Gives us some fun after this crazy summer. Do you think once this drought ends we will get a huge flush or a bunch of OK’ish mushrooms due to the record heat? Guess we will all find out together.
I think it could be a really good year! But there's no way to really know. 🤷 Fingers crossed! But I bet you that mycelium is thirsty for some rain and is likely to go crazy!!🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
Why do you pick these so freely? It is distressing to see it. There is a few German mushroom RU-vid programs. In contrast to you, they rarely remove mushrooms.
In order to properly identify a mushroom you need to be able to see the gills or the underside of the cap, the entire stipe including the base. I'm certain that the small amount of picking that I do in these videos does not disturb that mycelium, and I'm actually helping to kick some scores into The wind by picking them, if most of them in the forest unless I'm foraging for edibles. Sorry it distresses you. Any modern Field guide would confirm that picking mushrooms is not harmful to the mycelium or the forest. 🍄
@@mushroomwonderland1 Thanks for your reply to me. I watched your interview with Dr. Simard and enjoyed it. I am still not convinced picking young mushrooms does not jeopardize their chances of spreading their spores.
@@mozhgansavabieasfahani4875 definitely, and yes she is amazing. Whenever I'm unsure about something or have doubts that's when I start to research it, just so I can be sure that I know what I'm talking about.
@@mozhgansavabieasfahani4875 in fact, there have even been studies conducted over a 10-year period that suggests that picking the fruiting bodies actually stimulates growth of the mycelium and future fruiting bodies. Wildlife does it all the time!
I appreciate the info, but Bring some scissors next time, not good for the mycelium to just pluck these out, especially ones you have no intention of eating. Show some respect for them and teach others the same.
Minute 4:10. Imagine if people cut instead of just going around tugging up the reproductive, base ... That they will end up cutting off back at home any way. How about taking the camera to the mushroom, Instead of pulling unwanted mushrooms, just to hold them up to the camera. Do you love and respect the forest ? I doesn't look that way, as you go about, just randomly yanking things out for no good reason. Its kind of pissing me off.
