Find and Identify the Matsutake Mushroom - Pine Mushroom - S2E8 

I'm kidding

@@zachzoller I do take them home and smell the more...but then I eat them.

Lol ! Too funny!😂

🤣🤣🤣

If ever you are blessed to find one of these its hard not to keep sniffing it. Its such a different, but good smell!

Thank you! And for the first time we actually have another one fully edited and in the docket ready to go.

Thanks! Yeah, Zach did amazing on some of those visuals! So helpful for looking at the identification characteristics.

Thank you! Yeah, sometimes we go a while without posting, but I'm glad you're enjoying the videos so much! I'm so happy to know we've got some young mushroom lovers out there too!

Yellow Elanor Thanks!

That's great! Thanks for sharing!

s the Pine Mushroom here in NC

Thank you kindly 😊

Good analogy, and thank you, I wish I could get videos out more frequently as well.

Awful

Thanks for watching! Enjoy the chaga over the winter :)

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching and getting excited!

We usually use a Canon C100 but from time to time a GoPro Hero 7 and an iPhone (sorry I can't help with the mushroom question haha)

In the PNW they grow along the coast (right from the sandy soil) and all the way to the Cascades--I've seen them up to 4,000 ft, but I believe they can be higher even.

Thanks for the help. I need to get over to your side of the river to hunt these delicious mushrooms.

Yes, they can be found on Vancouver Island! They don't have a relationship with cedar (as far as I know), but get in an area with a mix of fir and pine (even if they're sparse), I believe the Allatropa virgata plant also grows up that way, so keep an eye out for that too. More or less sunshine is not much of a factor.

Well, just confirmed one of them is, Death Angel or Destroying Angel = Amanita bisporigera (also Aminita Virosa).

This is how I learn too--and why I wanted to make videos like this--happy you enjoyed it so much. And appreciate the encouraging comment!

Depending on where you are, you need a commercial harvesting permit first, then find a local 'mushroom buyer'--someone who buys mushrooms in bulk that then distributes them. Mushroom buyers typically set up shop seasonally in small towns near the mountains where the most mushrooms are.

Ive used craigslist, local farmers markets, buy sell trade forums on facebook, etc. Wholesale buyers pay on the lower end not really worth it especially for chanterelles.

Hi Suzanne, they are likely a Fomitopsis species. The specific species, I am unsure of. You can do some additional research on Fomitopsis to learn about the group of mushrooms, I'd recommend looking into a local resource for the most accurate information on what grows in your area and what qualities they may have (edible, medicinal, toxic, look-alike species etc...). This brief shot of the mushroom in the video doesn't give enough detail to compare and contrast species you may find, there are many things that look similar. Please be careful when asking for identification when on online platforms like this, especially for edibility and consumption. I've seen a lot of people give poor or inadequate advice, also someone may be from a different part of the world than you and their info won't match what you have local to you. Their are however, great forums dedicated to the education and identification of mushrooms online, search them out, buy a locally focused field guide and join a mushroom club! Those are some great resources that will really help you out in learning what things are called and if they're safe to eat.

thank you for replaing soon i will sent a photo for a kind of mushroom that i have in my farm in cairo egypt @@YellowElanor

Soil that is sand heavy, sorry I know I didn't elaborate on that point.

Very similar to other varieties, I hear debates on which has the strongest scent-but overall they have the same pungent spice scent.

Thanks for the response! I like smelling mushrooms as well ;) Even if some of them are not so nice to smell ... I find that it tells a lot about the mushroom in question.

Thank you so much!

That's awesome! Good natural instinct. And you're welcome, glad you enjoy the videos so much :)

Thank you! I appreciate hearing that, so glad to help take you on a relaxing indoor/outdoor adventure.

Thank you!

Just found some here in Northwest Arkansas. There were dozens growing everywhere. Such a neat smell (to me, mostly like cucumber) but cook up so differently.

H s 1

The area was covered in them!

So like...what I do with them when I get home?

@@YellowElanor yeah, exactly!

Other than smell them apparently 😏

Haha, that's perfectly acceptable!
