We embark on a journey into mushroom Wonderland to discover what kind of wild fungi are growing in the very beginning of spring, in March of 2024. Aaron Hilliard, amateur mycologist and vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, along with his trusty hound/lab Gunnar, stroll through the forest discovering and describing the mushrooms that are growing in the wild.
Each season brings its own set of fungi, and spring has a certain set of mushrooms, some of them good edible mushrooms, that can be foraged by you and your family with just a little bit of education. Along the trail we encounter oyster mushrooms, Pleurotus pulminarious, yellow waxy caps Hygrocybe flavescens, Alpine jelly cone Guipiniopsis alpina, false turkey tail Stereum, parasitic Clitocybe, and many others.
The goal of this channel is to help educate about mushroom identification and safety, and all things fungi related. Please make sure to subscribe and follow on all of the other social media platforms below.

We will not accept any responsibility for negligence or accidental ingestion of poisonous mushrooms or plants. These videos are not intended to be a definitive field guide, but rather a starting point to become familiar with habitat, Everyone is encouraged to do their own studies, acquire literature or internet resources to safely and confidently identify wild foods before they eat them. When eating a new wild mushroom, it is advised to start with only a small amount, and make sure that it is fresh and that it is cooked thoroughly. Some mushrooms do not agree with certain individuals, and this is typically discovered on a case-by-case basis. Even the most edible of mushrooms contain compounds that can be tough for the human digestive tract to handle. Some “edible” species have small amounts of certain toxins that will easily break down with cooking. Fungi contains a molecule known as chitin that is the same thing that makes the exoskeleton of shellfish so hard, and cannot be broken down by the human digestive system, so it is another good reason to thoroughly cook mushrooms. All the ideas expressed in the comments should be taken with a large grain of salt. I don’t think there is any other field of study or science that has more misinformation being shared so freely and boldly. Mushroom Wonderland and Aaron himself have no opinion and neither encourage nor discourage the use of mushrooms containing mind-altering compounds. These mushrooms contain powerful chemicals and should be treated with a high level of responsibility. Any video topics on the habitat, natural distribution, and morphological features of psychoactive mushrooms portrayed on this channel are purely for scientific and educational purposes.
