AMAZING WILD MUSHROOM SUSHI | Oysters, Porcini, &Chanterelle 

Man…. This brother makes me feel like a celeb. It is such an honor to be able to work together

I love that Jocelyn kicks his ass catching/finding things almost every episode she is on.

Taku you are next level man. I loved the change of pace on this episode with you and Jocelyn foraging for the mushrooms. It’s absolutely gorgeous there in the woods. As always your creative chef skills are showing in that catch and cook! Or forage and cook. Truly stunning dishes. They could be in a Michelin star restaurant no joke. That carpaccio! 🙌

Rinsing, aka with running water or even in a bowl/sink full of water to shake/loosen mud or sand is fine with pretty much any wild mushroom, just don’t soak them. If they are just dunk and wash off then placed on a wire rack or plate to drain off it is just like them getting rained on, soaking them can be a bit of an issue, but even short soaks for some mushrooms are fine, for example if you get buggy porcini you can place them in a salt water bath for 5-10 min and most to all the bugs will vacate the mushroom drowning in the water and the porcini will be fine. Proper field care though, trimming/brushing at the picking location can save you hours of cleaning later as you’ll leave dirt where you find it as it won’t be in your basket or bag rubbing off onto your other mushrooms. Also when it comes to the raw mushrooms you can eat some raw but you will digest little of the material in there compared to when you cook it. The flesh of all fungi fruiting bodies is made up of Chitin A or Chitin B which is non-digestible by the human gut, but cooking breaks the chitin flesh down allowing nutrients to be released. The Porcini is popular as a “raw” mushroom, but flavor wise I think Aminita cochiseana (the Arizona Caesar’s Amanita) is better raw with just some lemon juice, onion, and salt/pepper. Sadly though it doesn’t sit well on my gut raw, but cooked it is fine, which brings up my final pearl of foraging wisdom. What some eat, not everyone can eat, it is best to start with small samples of a wild mushroom you haven’t tried before to make sure your able to handle it. There is a garlic smelling variety of mushroom (a Pholiota) I find quite often here in Arizona in our mushroom season that always smells delicious (like a field of garlic) and can fruit in great numbers, but eatability is a 50/50 proposition as some eat it with no problems (Basque and former Eastern Bloc ethnic peoples like Ukrainians for example often find it a cultural delicacy similar to sister species they eat back in their motherlands) while many others end up with GI distress from it. A local PHD researcher from ASU recommended an “eatability test” taking a couple of days starting with a teaspoon full, and increasing volume every 8-12 hours until your at a full meal, the local club calls it the “Leather’s eatability test” in his honor.

I always hated mushrooms growing up, but you and NWFS got me to try some legit fresh ones recently and I've found that I actually love them. Turns out I just didn't like the canned ones. So far I've tried lobster, chanterelle, and oyster mushrooms and loved them all.

IT's REALLY GREAT WHEN YOU CLARIFY THE REALITY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP. JOCELYN DESERVES CREDIT & CORRECTIONS NEED TO BE MADE WHEN PEOPLE WHO DON"T LIVE WITH YOU TWO & LIKE TO JUDGE WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS! YOU ARE DEFINITELY LUCKY TO JOCELYN WHO HAS SUPPORTED YOU FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF YOUR RU-vid ENDEAVOR! SHE'S A CATCH DON"T YOU LOOSE HER TAKU! :) JOCELYN THE GREAT MUSHROOM HUNTER! :D

Taku, you are an artist. I’m so happy that you both are able to travel and cook full time. It’s always a joy watching your content! Your knife looks gorgeous btw. Congrats

Can I just say I love love love when Jocelyn features. Taku is the main draw, but Jocelyn makes my day.

I love watching your vlogs! The adventure is so humbling and hearty! Taku and Jocelyn you have such amazing souls!

the mesh bag is mostly so that the mushrooms can breath when you keep picking, never pick in a plastic bag because it will suffocate them! it also helps drop spores.

Taku I’ve been watching you and Jocelyn’s videos before you had 20k subscribers. So glad to see where you are now. Loving the journey with y’all. Great adventures!

Slowly your mushrooms foraging videos are becoming my favorite 😂😭 I went hiking in northern AZ and found a mushroom ! Would’ve never looked before your vids!

Taku and Jocelyn, just want to say thank you for the beautiful content and relaxing vibes ~ So nice to see you both enjoying your peaceful outdoor lifestyle together

Love your guys videos! Such an a great break from the real world. You guys are such a great team!

this is one channel that truly captures 100 percent of my attention every time. beautiful effort guys please keep going!

That’s the best looking vegetarian meal I’ve ever seen.

The mesh bag was a great idea! Didn't think about that. Always just used a plastic grocery bag.

Awesome video, Taku! Can’t wait to catch up on all the vids I’ve missed and get back to your newest uploads

Y'all absolutely nailed it this episode! Thank you for sharing🤙

Try to brush as much dirt off as possible, but don’t hesitate to wash those Yellow Chanterelles with water. They are a pretty firm mushroom anyway, and the dry sautéing will vaporize any added moisture. Loved the fungi-sushi presentation. Looked delicious! Always looking forward to your next video adventure.

Taku that spread you created was insanely beautiful! Just incredible stuff. And much love to Jocelyn for working you over AGAIN! And her hair is 🔥!

Love watching these treks through the forests. Very calming and tranquil. Thumbs up 👍🏽!

That looks beautiful Taku. A wonderful presentation.

love your work Taku, you inspire me to get out and explore culinarily and through the outside world

The fun life of Taku and Jocelyn! Wow! Mushrooms!!! Absolutely yummy and loaded with Vit. D. Beautiful and healthy food, Perfection for both food and the knife. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Taku!

You two make a great team couple, both bringing your strong points to the table while spending quality time together, that's what its all about! Ya'll deserve all the love and support!! Love these foraging videos too🍄🌾🍂 Waiting for your knife restock as well, ill definently have to be quicker this time!😄❤

Your videos are my favorite content on RU-vid right now! They always make me so hungry and I want to make what you make! Keep up the great work

Hey Taku, great video! Just some small feedback it you want to try. When editing if you scale in your static b roll shot by 10 percent and then key frame it back to the original scale it can add a more cinematic feel to your shots by creating a slow zoom in or out. You can also use this trick for position for a slow pan left or right. I find, Its a simple trick that can make a big difference. Thanks for your awesome content, I always look forward to Tuesdays. Cheers

I am drooling. mushrooms and sushi being my two fav thangs. also? we need to clone Jocelyn. she is a mushroom finding MACHINE! great video

Watching your videos and ordering your merch for Christmas presents.

I absolutely love mushrooms, my favorite topping on pizza. These dishes are right up my alley, dang, wish I was there, looks magnificent and delicious! Excellent! Maybe get into food shipping lol, I'd buy these immediately! Keep the content coming, love your channel!

Yay! Jocelyn revamped her hair! Love it!

Lets go lets go ..taku always killing it...let's see how this one turns out Keep going g

Such a beautifully made video and some excellent and creative looking sushi! You two are a joy to watch, makes me want to look around here in south FL for some edible mushrooms....

I started growing oyster mushrooms at home a couple of months ago. Their light flavor and meat like texture make them great to experiment with in dishes.

Ready for the great outdoors! 🍃 🍄

WOW so beautiful! Eye candy and tummy goodness

You guys are the cutie couple ever. The honor and respect you show each other is truly amazing!!

My guy Taku combining my loves. Mushrooms, sushi, cooking, and the outdoors! 🍄🍱🍣

Another amazing video. Genius to make mushroom Carpaccio and sushi. Keep up the great content my brotha. Aloha

Love the mushroom foraging videos.

That mesh bag idea is amazing! Thank you for putting me up on game Taku. Los quiero mucho a los dos

Great video! I was too late on the knives. Hope to get in on the next batch!

Looks amazing... I love mushrooms of all types.... I bought a dehydrator and have been stockpiling numerous types of mushrooms...

Fantastic great flavors that come together ☺️😊

Have always love the content since the beginning. Just here for the love and support.

Hope you guys are enjoying van life looks like lots of fun

love the sound of Jocelyn's voice. Warm, genuine, charming.

Great video guys!!

loved the raw nature sounds

Wow! Love Jocelyn’s hair color! So vibrant!

Congrats on the knife Taku! It is a beautiful blade for sure. I would love to get my hands on one if you put out more. Thanks for the content!

Awesome to see you hooking up with Ryky, been watching you both grow your chanles since the beginning. Doubt it will give me Ryky's honing skills or your chef skills but ordered the knife CAUSE IT LOOKS AWESOME!

I love all your videos! Also, that knife is beautiful!

Awesome as usual!

the presentation on that meal was really nice!

Jocelyn is Awesome and you Too Taku . Great Videos, Master Taku always educating .

I'm not really into wild mushroom foraging, but I love mushroom photographs and snapshots of your finished dishes..

Congrats on the knife, Taku! And great job as usual, outdoing the main man, Jocelyn! 😉 Everything looked great!

Vegetarian here ! That must have been the most beautiful and yummy looking porcini carpaccio I have ever seen. The other dishes were amazing looking as well. Definitely be doing these soon.

Also Jocelyn's hair is RAD!

Mushroom foraging videos are my favorite

Jocelyn's hair is so cuteeeee

I thought you were home, but you were in your van in the middle of the trees! Your van is awesome!

the cutting skill is top notch!

Another awesome video! I’m a washer with chantis. A quick wash under the sink blasts off the dirt and pine needles in the crevices. Dry them with a towel and you’re good to go. I made the mistake of washing a bolete….once. The pores soaked it up like a sponge. Wasn’t pretty.

You make anything look good! I’d def try out mushroom sushi!

Love the video as always! We had sliced porcini salad in Florence Italy so pretty cool to see that again. Btw try broiling oyster mushrooms with shallot, garlic, butter, olive oil till slightly brown (mix around mid way through) - found that to be pretty flavorful

Omg this made my mouth water 🤤

Wow Great Video !!!! Top class guys

Love the channel Taku!!

How cool, congratulations on your first knife haha!

Just in time for the Humboldt County chicken of the woods and porcinis I just got done harvesting! Had my own recipe lined up but I think I'll try this out with the new 1 burner butane I just bought! Hope all is well with everyone
