Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
I agree with the sentiment, but respectfully disagree, there’s probably many thing that aren’t worth learning by anyone. I could be proven wrong but at best it’s a subjective opinion.
I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression . I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some , Is there any realiable source I can purchase one
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot , I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well.
"I probably lost a few people with these disclaimers..." You totally hooked me with them. They distinguished you as someone who takes facts seriously and can therefore likely be trusted.
12:43 Shortly after learning about pig skin puffballs, I found a pair. I cut one in half and it was like dark deep purple amethyst. I paused what I was doing and just beheld its beauty. It was a moment filled with wonder and awe.
Today I harvested a couple of hen-of-the-woods, or miatake mushrooms, from my land. Gave a 4 pound specimen to a friend, the rest is in my dehydrator. Adam, every bit of information you give, gives us power to do what we need to be stewards of our land. Thank you for all your instruction and information.
We clean 'n freeze ours. Great chewy mushrooms for sauces. Odd year for Hens'. I missed a few that grew by oaks that never before grew any, in my neighbor's yard.
@@jonhohensee3258 they produce spores and also have a vast underground network of ‘roots’ called mycelium. Mycelium isn’t *actually* roots but that’s the best way to describe it. This underground network is capable of creating new fruiting bodies (actual mushrooms). So in summary, you really don’t have to do much to ensure that they will grow again- the mushrooms have it covered!
@@war5561 - Thanks for telling me something I already knew. My question to LINDA was meant to find out if SHE does anything to help keep the mushrooms coming back. It is entirely possible to overharvest mushrooms.
I brought a straw bale home for seeding an area recently tilled for pool work and Chanterelle mushrooms popped from it and around it. Now we have a very large patch after 6 or so years and they come every year.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
Why is there always a bot with this same stupid story then a line of bots trying to get you to buy illegal drugs it’s on almost every video of mushrooms please just give up people are here to learn
Once again you have provided a wonderful learning experience for all of us. The depth of your knowledge and the passion of your personal interest are obvious to everyone. Thank you.
Adam we really appreciate you. We could never be tired of listening to you we even love your disclaimers. Thank you so much for your humble teachings. 🥰💛❤️🧡
This year being exceptionally wet, we found and identified many variety of bolete mushrooms in our yard around birch and fruit trees. This has been a great year to learn about fungus among other things. Thank you for the video!
Okay, I'll be the first to ask. When can we expect part two? Lol. Thanks for everything you do Mr. Haritan! Your videos are super informative, humble, and genuine, and I really appreciate that!
Yes, definitely informative, humble & genuine are correct descriptives of ur funtastic videos. I also very much appreciate ur work. I hope ur channel continues to grow. It's evident u enjoy sharing ur vast knowledge. May I say ur sweet boyish charm reminds me of my beloved son! Warms this Mama's heart. Love & blessings From deep South hospitality state.
This was such a good introductory video to mushrooms in general, just seeing how you distinguish features and families is very helpful. You're also very likeable, loved the disclaimers!
Adam, you should speak on videos all the time! This was one of the best videos I have ever seen. Very well done! The information was clearly presented. Thanks you!
Thank you for saying the phrase "mycological key" as that has helped me greatly in my research of making a comprehensive guide to the edible mushrooms that I am interested in so I can keep an eye on identification because I've been working on that for a while and I kept looking up dyconomis and that wasn't really helping me but mycological was perfect
Adam knows mushrooms like Audobon knew birds... Always something to learn in these videos that I would not be exposed to any where else in my existence. Thank you again, Adam!
Fascinating Adam! The maturing patterns are amazing similar to your morphing handsome hair styles. We've been feasting on giant puff balls in the Great Lakes region with daily rains often water bombs. Appreciative
Have been seeing Boles and White Cone Caps, in my straw mulch, veggie garden every morning. I love knowing that my efforts to bring this dry, barren, high desert land, back to life, is having a small impact. I may not have any edible 'shrooms in my yard, but I'm eating up, and geeking out on all the incredible education you offer us, here on Learn Your Land. Much gratitude, Adam.
I absolutely LOVE your disclaimers and how you deal so professionally with the obvious haters who have commented in the past. Your speech is very clear, concise, and spoken at a perfect speed! I am so blessed to have found your channel! My first venture online to research mushrooms, too! Thank you! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
I get tons of Puffballs all over my yard every year. I've never harvested them for food but I sure do love picking one up and giving it a good dropkick. They explode into a billion tiny little pieces and fall back to the ground like snow... that's probably why I get so many puffballs is because I'm literally blasting their spores around my yard lmao
When they're white and firm, they can be pretty good eating. I saute them in olive oil and butter; some people dredge them in egg and coat them with flour or crumbs. Unfortunately, it's a pain to preserve them...they don't dry or freeze well. Only way I've found is to cut them up and cook them in spaghetti sauce or some such, then freeze the sauce.
@@retriever19golden55 I've found the giant puffballs (look like sun-bleached human skulls from a distance). Sliced up slabs and sauteed the same, plus garlic, delicious!
Love puff balls, we had them under the elderberry bushes where it was moist. It was just fun to make the pores puff out of the balls, we didn't have TV or much entertainment back in those days
You rock Adam. I have been watering a new area and they appearing all over it. i have been letting them break open on their own and have been enjoying the full cycle of them. EVERYTHING is worth learning for sure!
I'm a camp counselor in the eastern US, thank you so much for the knowledge your channel has brought me! I can't wait to incorporate some of this into my classes, passing it on to the kids I work with :)
Hi Adam! Thanks for this fun video. Since a large portion of mushroom hunting involves tree identification; I am taking this time to beg you to speak out against volcano mulching. For ppl who do not know; this is a fairly recent new way of mulching trees and it is horrible! You will see it everywhere. Just look at a tree and if the mulch is piled up in a cone; that is volcano mulching. It weakens the tree, provides home for insects, and will shorten the tree's lifespan.
Sooooo helpful! I thought I found old puffballs fishing the other day and now I know they are Poison Pigskin. You're the man, Adam. Thanks from Philly! Hopefully we will see you sometime around here at a Philadelphia Mycology Club event!
I'm in northern bucks country. Know a clubs around me? Ive searched, but haven't found any. Side note: I'm growing Shitaki's. Last week as I was harvesting, I noticed what looked like Shitaki's growing in some wood chips near the base of a Maple tree. They were identical in appearance, but when I looked under the cap, the gills were brown. Any idea what this could've been?
@@maverick5006 the Philly club is probably the closest. They don't limit hikes to just Philly and I believe we've been to bucks. Definitely Delco. There is a Delco mushroom club too actually. If you're on FB you can find them. I'm not sure about Bucks. If have to see if to ID it bud.
After 21 years, I am still learning my land! This year I discovered field / meadow mushrooms and purple puffballs. I wonder how many times I walked past mushrooms not knowing they were edible? Well, my eyes are being newly trained to keep a look out now! 😊
Excellent video, as always. Thanks to you, I’m slowly but surely learning to identify mushrooms (and trees!) on my land and the mountains where we do some hunting. I had no idea how fascinating mushrooms truly were until their year when my yard and woods exploded with them. I was trying to identify a white mushroom (I now know is an amanita/death Angel) and ended up addicted to mycology. Thank you so much for giving us such an excellent education into the ecology of mushrooms. Truly fascinating.
Love this. Some of my best memories are of my grandmother taking me out mushroom hunting for her from scratch pasta sauce. The long walks in the woods were the best. Heidi
I'd love to eat a wild mushroom, but I don't know which ones are safe to eat. Years ago, I found a beautiful, perfect, white mushroom growing under the oak tree in front of my house. I later identified it as a Death Cap mushroom.
LOL intro needed for scattered brains who can't calmly watch a whole video and LISTEN :) Loved it - you kept the right amount of serious with slight smirk :) WELL DONE.
Monotropa Uniflora. You're finding the rarer red variety. They're usually all white. They can't produce clorophyll to feed themselves so they have a 3 way relationship with mushrooms and trees. Usually pine trees and milk cap or russula mushrooms. I've found a lot on my property last week after big rains. Only happens once a year.
So many mushrooms everywhere this year! Must be the high moisture with the early dry summer? It's a fungus extravaganza! I'm seeing more mushrooms that I've never seen before in areas that I've never seen them giant puffballs, medow puffballs,etc.
My property has exploded with all kinds of different mushrooms this year! Thanks to that explosion, I’ve become very interested in mycology. I had no idea so many amazing looking mushrooms existed! It’s how I ended subscribing to Adam’s channel. A few days, a few (what I think are) boletes rubroflammeus sprouted around the tree right outside my back door. Quite an extraordinary looking mushroom. And lots of white ramaria’s in the wooded area. I’ve also found lobsters and the craziest looking reishi. It’s too bad we can’t post pictures here. I’ve learned a lot, thanks to Adam and others. Also learned that chipmunks love death angels and it doesn’t kill them. 🙀
I'm in Oregon, not much moisture but maybe from nearly burns(??). I'm on a small lot (subdivision), been finding a few morels in strange areas the last 3 yrs, twice in my catio enclosure!
Puffballs are the bomb! Instantly recognizable and usually a wholr lot of eating in them..I"ve had many dishes with these guys in so far this year. Made the best carbonara with them and everyone loved it! 😊
I have had about 10 of these grow in my lawn over the last couple weeks.Didnt know that they were edible until this video. I've been just putting them in the compost pile. Was worried that they were poisonous to my dogs. I would try them but because of my dogs using my backyard as their bathroom I don't feel comfortable eating them.
I worked at a farmers market years ago and one day they brought in a massive puffball (like 2’ across) from the woods edging a field. I’d never seen them other than a paper-thin shell we used to kick in the woods. A friend took a hunk home and fried it up in butter and we had a real feast. Never had the like since.
I live in between Ernest and the Rose Inn and because of you, I've been going out every day and and looking for what I see in your videos. I have every one of these that were in this particular video, and many more, literally right in my back yard. Thank you sir!🤜🏼🤛🏼
I found your channel when I was looking for someone that was in my general area (ish) after I moved and noticed my 1 acre yard produced more mushroom diversity than I had ever seen in southeast VA, (I even have several patches of ghost pipes!!) and I’m so glad I found ya! I only knew a few things but that amount has easily quadrupled. Your content is so easily ingested and processed (and you’re low key funny af) and for having adhd just know that doesn’t happen often in my learning patterns , you even immediately caught my 7 year old daughters ear and have inspired her to make her own mushroom videos ! She’s honing her skills and slowly learning not every red mushroom is not an amanita muscaria, and She thinks maybe one day you will probably “do a collab video with her once you see how great her videos are “ 😂 So thanks for doing what you do and doing it well!
Thanks to your awesome videos my wife and I have begun foraging for mushrooms this year! We have learned so much from you. So far we have gathered oyster, honey, turkey tail, lion's mane, and reishi! We are really enjoying all the wonderful benefits God has provided through His creation! Again, thank you Adam for all you do.
Your channel, and your approach to teaching, are both very entertaining and your material is easy to digest. You're doing a fine job, young man, and I don't get to say that often enough these days, so be proud of your work.
Me and my daughter went on our first mushroom hunt this past weekend in Ohio and found some chicken of the woods. And turkey tail. We made soup out of the cotw, and fried some too. She loves them and ate a bunch over the weekend. We had a great time, and already loved being out in nature cause she loves birdwatching; as do I. But were really loving our newfound hobby. Also thanks to you, as well as haphazard homestead. You both gave really inspired us to take this up. I've watched almost all your uploads, and hope with autumn upon us to see more content from you. Again I cant thank you enough!
I'm very grateful Adam chose to teach about the natural world instead of being a rocket scientist or brain surgeon. thank you for doing what you do I have learn so much.
After watching some of your stuff, me and my wife got into this and did our first real foraging last weekend. We found a bunch of awesome stuff! We even found some eastern cauliflower mushroom that was the size of both hands and we can't wait to try some of them!! We did grab an app and did spoore prints to be SUPER sure and are going to try a little at a time like suggested just to see how our bellies handle it. I've been vegan for over a year so I'm hoping my gut biome handles it well but super excited. Thank you for the awesome content!
Always an education from you. . .I once read in a mushroom guide booklet; "That there are old mushroom pickers and there are bold mushroom pickers, but you'll never find an old, bold mushroom picker."
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they've got Adderall shrooms ketamine dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs
Another amazing video about mushrooms, thank you Adam! I have learned so much by watching your videos about mushrooms, and you have given me confidence to watch for them when I am outside my home.
