Great video! I just got back from a hike east of Seattle, looking for mushrooms, but I didn’t find too many. Saw a few Alpine jelly cone, Fairy parachute, some old Turkey tails, and some old yellow-brown turkey tail look-a likes, and some Red banded conks. I don’t know how you experts do it, spotting all those other types. Thanks for the inspiration, I learn a lot from your videos!
Thanks! That still sounds like an awesome hike - I never get tired of looking at Alpine Jelly Cones and Fairy Parachutes! So glad that you're enjoying the videos, and I really appreciate you tuning in! With Spring just around the corner I bet that we're going to be finding all kinds of great mushrooms out in the forests of Western WA ... so keep looking! And Happy Trails!
Wow, the Red Belted Conk and the False Turkey Tail were beautiful, weren't they? I just don't see mushrooms like that where I roam. I'm considering packing up and moving to Washington State! 😉It's a little paradise, apparently.
I love this channel. And I love these full-length videos lately. Your dialog and knowledge is on par with the likes of Adam Haritan from Learn Your Land. Amazing content.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! Adam Haritan does a fantastic job out at Learn Your Land, so that is high praise! Really glad to hear that you're enjoying the full-length videos. Just getting started here, so stay tuned - plenty more to come in the days ahead. Really appreciate you tuning in!
so much information and beauty packed into one video, i love it!! nature is such a beautiful thing 💚 as a very new beginner to mushrooms it's so cool to able to learn from someone who knows so much, all while being able to see all the beautiful scenery you're experiencing. these videos make me so happy
Thanks so much! Really glad you're enjoying the videos! So much to see ... and always so much to learn out in the forest. Appreciate you tuning in - and I can't wait to get the next video out your way!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, and glad these vids are helping to lighten the burden of that Monday commute! Can't wait to get the next video out your way. Happy Trails!
😅 would eat a Cat’s Tongue when out and about and thought it was a great name for this silly cute fungi😊 and so glad to know the name of the red belted conk! Been seeing the conks and smell them close by from the honey scent, appreciate seeing the different kinds already out now and thank you for sharing this!
We use them for cancer patients amazing results. check out ""Otzi the iceman"" he wore a birch polypore necklace 5000 years ago to keep him healthy I wear mine daily @@MushroomTrail
Cool! I have been totally fascinated by the story of Otzi for years - such an incredible archaeological gift ... and so cool to be able to verify that humans have been working with mushrooms for over 5,000 years! The Birch Polypore has an incredible range of uses, from fire making & ember keeping, to knife sharpening, to a very wide range of medicinal uses. I remember reading that archaeologists believe that he may have been using birch polypore to treat a parasite that they found in his intestinal tract. Interesting stuff!
I haven't tried to sweeten the Alpine Jelly Cone, but I would imagine that citrus juice (or citric acid) and a little sugar would definitely sweeten them up nicely😀
Thanks! I'm in Western WA at low elevation near the Puget Sound ... although I love getting into the foothills and mountains of the Cascades when weather permits. Thanks for tuning in - and Happy Trails!
