How To Find Lobster Mushrooms - Complete Beginner Guide 

Awesome tips! I found my first lobster this year and I'm hooked!

Never forget your sidearm while foraging. Those lobster mushroom are unpredictable. That’s how my old man went.

Thanks for sharing. ✌

What are your tips for storing or processing them after finding a haul like that? Whenever I find a good amount, I feel bad that some go to waste because I just can't eat that much.

I love waching your video 👍

How do you cook it? I just found few when I passed by one of the trail in OR.

I spent 20 years commercially harvesting mushrooms out of Coos Bay, Oregon. You have a good patch there. Lobsters were my favorites. The best ones are most always “hidden”, like boletes and pines (matsutakes). They also are often found in people’s lawns, and they usually don’t know anything about them and consider them a nuisance (because they smell bad-like cat piss) when they rot. They are also a very firm, heavy mushroom. I sauté lobster “steaks” in garlic butter. They are very good. Not as good as hedgehogs or black trumpets in my opinion, but damn close. Oh-boletes (aka “cepes” or “porcini”) are also very, very good. Surprisingly, I’m not a fan of chanterelles, though they smell by far the best of any mycorrhizal (?) mushroom I have collected. Very fruity, like apricots. They taste somewhat spicy raw. Morels- I can’t stand the smell or taste of them, but they’re so fun to forage for. Can be very profitable too, especially the 2nd year after a wildfire. Or wherever the forests have been disturbed, such as logging operations that stir up the soil.

Love your mushroom videos, this time you mixed up identifying salal ( smooth) and Oregon grape ( pokey) Keep up the great fun!

I never go in the woods in the summer but i'm thinking about changing my mind. I heard those mushrooms were freaking awesome. I'm in the Piedmont of North Carolina though. I think the mushrooms in this state will make your babies be born naked.

Another great video, thank you!!! Question, are they considered mushrooms even though Lobsters are considered geophagus Fungus? Just wondering about the limits, if any, are?? Thank you!!

😮I’m incredibly envious! I’m curious how long about do they take to reach a good harvesting age and when you prepare them, do they cook down in size quite a bit? Thanks!!
