4. Consider reciprocity! Thank you so much for adding that! I come from an Indigenous Nation. This is an important lesson when foraging. Love your videos!
I always neglected mushrooms while studying animal ecology. These videos not only fill that gap, they are very entertaining, and the obvious passion this young man has for botany and woodlands ecology is gratifying.
Another amazing video! I don't know what's more impressive, your energy and enthusiasm or your mycological knowledge and video production skills. Thank you for creating this and sharing your wisdom.
I listened through 5 minutes of his advertisements, and tried to reply. Now I have to log in again. Login. Guess the 3 boats. Can't wait for Ultra Maga 2024. Put an end to this BShit!!
Back in Indiana on the family farm, everyone would go out Morel mushroom hunting to see who could find the most! Every time my Grandfather would go off by himself and would come back with more than anyone else! He had his special place on the farm to go to!
It's awesome that you're encouraging people to give back to nature! As a Pagan, I try everyday to keep in mind the idea of mutual gift giving; when you take something, you should give back.
Hey, Adam! Just came across your channel and I wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH! My wife and I just started foraging this year, but we've been fungi-nerds for a long time. Your videos are extremely helpful, especially because we live Ohio and we've been using your seasonal spring guide. Looking forward to learning more!
Adam, say Eastern North America one more time! Just kidding. I love that you are very thorough, and precise in your descriptions. I appreciate all the knowledge!!!
As an Herbalist, I really appreciate learning more about mushrooms. I've got yellow morels that have been appearing every year now but not in the forest or near trees--they pop up in some large gravel by my house. They are delicious and I look forward to them every spring. Thanks for such an informative video!
Start looking for the first morel's when the temperature is 40 and above at night and 60 and above during the day for ten days. After this the beginning of growth occurs.
Wow. You are quite the mycologist! I am so grateful to have found your most informative channel! And you play guitar! Handsome, well-spoken and with a beautiful energy! ❤
Thanks, Adam! I'm getting amped for all things spring here in East Central Minnesota. In the Marsh, the skunk cabbage is blooming and the Sandhill Cranes are calling. In the Prairie, my dog scares up pheasants and my goats search for fresh grass. In the Woods, the soil is fragrant and softening. Everything on the cusp; teeming. I just jarred up another micro-batch of maple syrup from two old guys on a south-facing slope. P.S. Nice Gretsch!
I study herbalism and I’m constantly searching for edible wild plants. Today while working I came across the most beautiful morel and I’m hoping it’ll still be there when I get off in an hour so I can go back and harvest it! I’ve just found your channel and truly love it! I’m subscribing!
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WISE TEACHING! As a lifelong learner with several advanced degrees & decades teaching, I’m thrilled with your videos & really want to enroll in your course.
Glad to see you not only survived the winter but emerged more energized than ever! Great job on this video! Very clear explanations and the pictures are fantastic! I am very comfortable recommending this video too both novice and veteran mushroom hunters alike. Thank you!
I finally found Morels! I started watching you a year and a half ago. I looked last year but didn't find anything. I didn't give up. While I was driving to an apiary to check hives I looked over to the side of the road and had to stop the truck. No way could the Morel be that much in the open. There they were. I harvested three morels about the size of my hand. I showed one of the farmers and he confirmed it was Morel. I figure better to be safe than sorry. I took them home, cleaned them and sautéed the three in butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. Absolutely fantastic. My first time eating Morel. Now I know how to see them. Thank you so much for your informative videos!!!!
Gratz man. Found 3 today and expecting a rainstorm tomorrow, so expecting more. These 3 were small'ish but one was very fat!! Lol. Keep hunting and great luck!!
I just found an extra nice looking bunch of pheasant backs! Growing on a dead tree only a block away. I'll be able to dry them and use in soup/stock for the rest of the year.
It's 6-2-20 @ 9AM and I just got back from my morning walk While I was walking about here in Pocahontas, Mississippi...i happened upon some rather large mushrooms and it has peeked my interest in them as a tasty dish tonight. Pocahontas is a rather small town north of Jackson just about 15 miles away from everything such as traffic, noise and so on. I call it home. I always come back to this place... I have lived on the east coast as Well as the west coast. Mississippi has the gulf coast and Louisiana is close just about a two hour drive from my front door. I enjoy the cajun cuisine and seafood that it's famous for. I have eaten everything from alligator tail to Escargot "snails " I'm a good oyster shucker and I 🧡 Fishing and crabbing it's exciting and relaxing "fishing " is not a dangerous sport and it's not too expensive either & it's a good way to put healthy food on the table. But now foraging for Mushrooms can be haphazard due to the fact that certain Shrooms look a lot alike but if you're wise enough to Buy a picture book guide and if You're wise enough to always question what you think may be edible and reference that guide if there's even a shadow of doubt In your mind it could save your life.. I'm familiar with chantel and Portabella mushrooms they're both delicious And if the wild mushrooms are anything similar to those then it's worth the time and effort to forage also while I'm @ it I will keep my eyes open for any wild herbs as well.
I live in s. korea. My house is in an apartment complex of city. And i saw a morel under some ginkgo trees in the garden about couple weeks ago. At first i couldn't believe my eyes. "Could it be possible? In the place like this?" Anyway i enjoyed the flavor and the texture, even it was just a one though. Thinking the experience as the mercy of the nature for me.☺
@@seanaldrich5024 Hi~ Sean ^^ I'm curious about your place Indiana. I think there are many wild edible mushrooms, right? ^^ Wow~~ You know 'running man'. It's funny. ha ha 😄
yeah lots of mushrooms. I fish a lot so that's where a lot of my time goes. I love running man. I liked 2 days and 1 night too but since all that stuff happened its not on the air anymore. I love the new show love me actually, have you seen it. se chan is on it and his brother is a mc on it too. its funny. @@cute-simon
@@seanaldrich5024 You fish time literally. ^ ^ Se-Hyeong is Se-Chan's elder brother. To know the brothers, you really like korean variety shows.😀 Thank you for your interesting in korea. I hope Korea and korean give you some good images.♡
Another great video Adam! Last year I dehydrated a bunch of dryad saddle and my wife hated me for how much it stunk up the house, haha. The ground up dehydrated dryad saddle made a great soup thickener for a keto diet. Thank you for another great video and I look forward to the next one.
Thank you, Adam. What I have learned from you has made me take a nose dive into mushroom books to learn all I can. Thanks again. My newfound knowledge has changed the lives of several people. Can't wait for the course to start!!!
My Father told me stories of living in upstate PA and gathering mushrooms with his father when he was a child... you are truly a lucky man to have learned this skill... thank you for sharing.
Adam, I love your channel and have learned a lot here. We go out into our timber regularly and have always hunted morels in the Spring. Now, thanks to your channel I go in search of lots of other edible 'shrooms! Thank you for providing such great educational information. A walk in the timber is my favorite daily activity ~ they refer to it as "Forest Bathing" in Japan, it's a healthy thing to spend time in the woods. Have a great day, Adam!
Go forth and know thy land, that it may give to you and you give back to it. Should money stop, you will still go for having knowledge that shall serve you in life always. Should money not stop, you will save from it that you can get for thyself from thy land. Always leave enough that it may be there next year as well and onward through many lives.
Your scholarship has made it a joy to watch your presentations....and....has encouraged me to learn more about foraging for wild edibles.....book store... here I come...😊
I'm just finding your videos with my new interest in mycology and plans to incorporate it into my garden, and I have to say... You are fantastic, please never stop making these videos.
Thank You Adam! I'm trying to get back on my feet good and strong enough to get back out there, plus do some videos. I truly appreciate these videos you put out and the details that you give. It was so fun hunting mushrooms and just Foraging in general but.. the Mushrooms.. they are.. very special and Highly Conscious 😇😁. Love and Light to You Adam and Blessings Always 💞🤗
Just found your channel...and love it! I'm always trying to identify plants and mushrooms as we work around on the farm. I love your presentation method.
I found your channel because of the Stinging Nettle video. I watched another because you're adorable. Now, i'm going through all of them because you're such a good presenter and teacher! So easy to listen to, so much information and such a wonderful appreciation for this world we have. Thank you for these videos!
I just went mushroom hunting with my girlfriend for the first time. We live in the Pacific Northwest, and we did bring a field guide with us and threw out any uncertainties. We went to a forest fire site that was a couple years old and found a JACKPOT of black morels, most of them about 4 inches tall. We got close to a pound of morels in just about an hour or so.
@@jarretjordan3837 good luck! I'm in southern Maine, first looked for them in southern NH. I've found false morels in NH, but no trues yet. I'm determined though! Found a few firsts of different kinds of mushrooms last year, any reason to spend more time in the woods is good to me :-)
Reciprocity. Sharing what I already had, seemed to open the world to me. By being generous, it is as though I stepped into a realm of generosity. By pouring my puny cup of water into the river, the river of generosity welcomed me, shares with me and holds nothing back. I am in awe and filled with gratitude.
I am so glad I found this video and channel! You are extremely informative and clear. Thank you so much. P.S. You should do a video about fiddleheads!!
You've earned new subscriber. I watched your videos the other day about stinging nettles. Since then I have eaten a few meal with them I like the taste a lot. Stinging nettle to me kind of if not too overcooked like a cross between flavorful fresh green beans and a mild spinach. Today, I randomly was looking into mushrooms and RU-vid suggest this video of yours. I like the little number you played at the end there too!
Looks Amazing! Taking Notes right now so I can forage a ton over the next few weeks. Thanks for all the information that you have provided. Without you I would still be lost! Happy Trails.
As always, I very much appreciate your videos and especially the edible mushrooms. West Michigan is just beginning to warm enough that I need to learn just where to find these delicacies. I've watched other videos of people around Michigan who give advice, but they also are very vague/ guarded so as not to give away areas and exact time. So I really appreciate your info on ground temps. Now I'm heading over to your video on trees. I watched it once so going now for a refresher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's a lost art. Sharing that is.
Grabbed me a cold beer after work and decided to take a little stroll down by the stream and -THERE IT WAS! My FIRST MOREL! AWESOME. COOL. YAY. Adam! Thank You!
When I was growing up in Kansas my father had a farm that had some woods on it. In the Spring we would go Morel mushroom hunting. They are delicious if you dip them in egg and roll them in flour and then fry them.
