ARrrbgh always been taught not to wash mushrooms as they soak up water take a soft brush with you I use a shaving brush for what you would call a thrift store All the best bor the holidays from across the pond here in the UK
@@simonparkinson5454 Excellent tip. A handkerchief, bandana, or sharp knife work well, too. Also: dry sautè your mushrooms to remove moisture to improve their texture. I'll typically only steam or boil them if I'm immediately processing them for a recipe.
I know that cyanide in small quantities won't be lethal but in large quantities it's lethal. Even a video of a guy drinking cyanide to see how bad it was,didn't affect him that much,in small amounts over a long period of time,large amounts will kill you,small amounts repeatedly throughout a week could kill someone.
Taku at 8:08: "Right in the middle of the wild onions. Look at what's next to it." Me: "Looks like some delicious herb or something." Taku: "This can kill you."
Loved this vid Taku. Mushroom foraging is a great idea. Chanterelles are delicious, easy to find, and very safe here in the SF bay area. They might be a good choice for the novices out there too. I enjoy all of your videos. You are going to have 1 m. subs in no time!
One thing you could do when harvesting mushrooms is to shake them around where you found them so the spores can fall out and have a chance to reproduce. LOL my dad bought those "wild onions" and theya re growing in our back yard.. I think he called them triangle leeks or something like that.
There are a few great channels out there and books too. just be super careful. Oysters, however, are really easy to identify. If you do find some and eat them keep a few intact and off to the side in case you were wrong. Having the mushrooms you ate on hand could save your life by identifying what you had.
The darker oyster mushrooms have this chewy bubblegum texture that feels so satisfying to bite through. The flavor has a mild umami like profile. IMO, pairs really well with something bitter. Just a personal preference. Nice foraging video!
I just realised the "bite" from mushrooms is like the mild version of the bite you'd get from tripe! Which is why tripe, though it sounds bad, is so delicious to some!
Definitely enjoy your videos! With wild mushroom season upon us I would love to see more mushroom and edible plants. I do want to point out that the 1st mushroom you found wasn't an old chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) but an Dyer's polypore (Phaeolus schweinitzii). Although it has uses in imparting color to yarn, it is possibly poisonous. If you want some help with ID's let me know, I am by no means an expert but have considerable knowledge on mushrooms. Would love to join you on a hike and when the water calms down a dive
Can you help identify psilocybin mushrooms? It is very similar to a lethal mushroom that grows here. I just cant tell them apart. Dont judge. Research indicate they are good for depression which I have. The chronic kind. Doctors refuse to help. They are too busy saving their own butt.
After the mushrooms, when you couldn’t find your way back, I thought it was going to turn into a “How to survive in the woods overnight” video. These foraging videos are great you should definitely do more.
More foraging in the forest, anything edible that can be made into a meal. Bring an expert in maybe so you could identify more of what to eat and what not to eat. If the waters are rough take a break from the coasts or maybe go to a lake or river with calmer waters near the bay.
Forage skill is now at level 2. Your video quality is so much better now compared to months ago. Cool stuff this. That chowder looks good and delicious.
This is hilarious I just found winter Oyster mushrooms yesterday. The timing of this video is crazy. I sauteed up some yesterday and made crispy garlic roasted mushrooms today. Turned out awesome. The great thing was that it was on a cut section of tree that fell down and I live in a rural area. so after harvesting the mushrooms I grabbed the chunk of log and carried it home. I've been experimenting with growing my own from purchased mushroom spawn but this was an awesome find. Also this video was unexpected and definitely a plesant addition to your catch and cooks.
Jocelyn is great, but I really how like this video as its back to where you started. Just you and a camera with low tech tools and fantastic food. I could listen to you talking about mushrooms, sushi, foraging, cooking or just about anything else for hours.
Exciting to find so much mushroom. I was for getting it all and taking to neighbors or friends. But the lentil chowder was a great idea to show off and use up the mushrooms. Always take some salt or dried octopus or seaweed perhaps. Mav has a folding santoku that looks handy. Maybe by Spyderco? I loved the matsutaki video. Also the one well deserved beer always looks fantastic.
I prefer your typical videos of fishing and cooking, but there is nothing wrong with switching it up with a fresh idea from time to time. I personally wasn't that interested in this video, but I did watch it until the end (and no, I'm not one of the people that voted it down).
Let me know if you like matutake shrooms. I heard that in Japan it's highly sought after. I've got hella family members that hunt for them every year. Maybe you can send some back to you pops.
Thanks! You should do more videos, This was a lesson about cooking and eating all natural the way nature and God intended, And before they trademarked the word Organic and charged you big bucks for it,
In the Philippines cooking with coconut milk is called ginataan where we make it more sauce consistency, and how you did it is called bicol express (minus the lentils and usually cooked with pork not mushrooms) awesome vid man i can imagine the taste ♥️ it should be amazing with steamed rice Much love from the Philippines!
I get my from an online store his got shroom, psychedelic and microdosing products well refined also ships to anywhere discreetly, can also guide you on anything.
Worms love those guys. A tip to deworm a mushroom, if there are only a few and or to make sure there aren't any, is to give them a brief soak in super salty water.
Anything that's gathering and foraging all types of foods. Gives me that wonder that I'm missing out on such an interesting skill. Being able to get natural ingredients for yourself and able to apply them to dishes is something I wish I took the time to do. I've had a skin condition from processed foods using sugars/cane sugar and I like how you can take these recipes with untampered ingredients to really know what's in your plate. Just recently discovered this channel and I wanna see what 2020 looks like.
That first mushroom is a Dyer's Polypore (Phaeolus schweinitzii), also known as Brown Cubical Butt Rot. Deadly to conifers, and not good for people to eat, either. But it is great for dyeing fabric, paper, and hair. Nice find of all those Oyster mushrooms. That log will be a good spot for many years to come! :D
Taku! I see you upgraded your camera. How do you like that a6400? I am planning on getting one for myself to use for filming. Which lens were you using for this video?
Hunting for mushrooms Locating the mushroom Singing the shroom's praise Respectfully plucking the mushroom Holding the precious mushroom And then dunking it in water. Seriously?
REFERRAL FOR COLLAB - When you're in Japan, hook up with the Mushroom Man of the Mountains, Noriyuki Mio. He even pulls edible parts of bamboo up. He has the whole farm to table thing down and loves to cook and have a good time with people. He hikes Fuji often too. Scary.
Great video!! The first round, flat mushroom you found, is not an old chicken-of-the-woods, that's a Phaeolus schweinitzii, commonly called "the Dyer's Polypore". The next solitary one you found, with the umbo in the middle of the cap looks like Marasmius oreades, though I'm not 100% sure on that one. The conk, the woody shelf polypore, is most likely Ganoderma applanatum
Thank you for the foraging video. Nice mushrooms, wild onions and Kershaw. Reminds me of Morel hunting when I was a kid. Those things were elusive but so tasty. Oh Taku "I didn't come prepared except for these lentils, garlic, chiles, cookware, stove and can of coconut milk" :D

I'm fairly sure that first one was reishi/linzhi. I've never seen it so big. The ones I'd found were on the very bottom (ground level) of dead saplings and VERY small. You 'wild onion' is an allium, maybe not EXACTLY an onion. I think rakkyo has wider leaves, but....what YOU found has a different flower and leaf from the wild onions we have in GA.
