Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate hearing that - I feel like I'm learning all the time too! Glad to be able to share the experience and can't wait to get the next video out your way!
Yikes! I have heard of that! Even though it has antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties, there are some people that are allergic to it. Quite strange that it can be an antihistamine and yet also be an allergy trigger for others!
1:01:09 I concur with Amanita ocreata here. The season and appearance line up and it's known to associate with hazelnuts and filberts. If you wanted to be 100% sure, a drop of 10% potassium hydroxide solution on the cap should turn yellow.
Thanks! I was kicking myself for not having any KOH with me at the time ... even while editing this I was considering trying to run back out there to be 100% sure. Does definitely seem to line up as far as I can determine.
Awesome! Thank you! The wonderful world of mycology has a funny way of pulling us deeper and deeper -- so much to learn. Thanks for tuning in, and can't wait to get the next video out your way!
Interesting ... would be curious to hear about key features of Pluteus cervinus out your way. This is a fairly classic look for here in PNW ... if I had flipped it over you'd. see free gills underneath. What shape/color do you typically observe?
It's funny how you think you've learned everything to know about a certain plant, and you just drop some golden fact in there out of nowhere! There is no end to learning about natures capabilities - that's a comfort with longevity right there.... loved the attention to slime moulds in this episode. My curiosity got the better of me once, and I did a cross section of fresh Dog Vomit... it felt like cutting through a custard tart or thick lemon curd or something. Very interesting inside, but not as appetizing of course! 😂 Also, do you get the Silky Piggyback's (Asterophora parasitica) on Russula's over there? I love those tiny guys. That coral orange Mycena was stunning by the way, and the white Amanita, blimey!!!
Whoa! That cross section of the Dog Vomit Slime Mold sounds like an interesting experiment to say the least - those plasmoidial slime molds are so fascinating! And, yes, we get both Asterophora parasitica and Asterophora lycoperdoides growing on Russula and Lactarius ... so interesting to dig into the idea of decomposers decomposing the decomposers!
@@MushroomTrail More fungi cross-overs than not almost! ... It's all a matter of elemental breakdown until all that's left is the opportunity for the whole lot to reform, and fruit, and mould, and feed once more!
Thanks for another great video...the insight and knowing what's popping in the woods is always appreciated! I was walking in town here in Auburn and spotted The Prince poking from underneath some bushes along a sidewalk! I was caught off guard by its appearance, but the next thing I know I'm on all fours digging out this nice clutch of mushrooms next to a busy warehouse like a mental patient, but so glad I did because they were delicious. I'm so addicted to foraging!
Haha! That is awesome - I love coming across the Prince! There's a reason that David Arora chose to put a photo of that one on the cover of Mushrooms Demystified ... that is one tasty mushroom for sure!
@@MushroomTrail once I confirmed it was The Prince I thought about Mushrooms Demystified and immediately ordered the book…been meaning to buy it but knew this was a sign
