Aaron Hilliard, mycology educator and creator of Mushroom Wonderland, takes us on a journey to discover the various types of wild mushrooms growing this time of year and their potential uses. Some of the mushrooms are great to forage and eat, some are deadly and should be avoided.
Aaron has made it his life passion to learn about, and to teach mycology- the study of mushrooms, and this is one of the many seasonal videos he does, showcasing the beautiful fungi of the forest in the spring time. From beautiful and delicious morel mushrooms to potentially deadly Conocybe, cartoonish Amanitas and close look alike edible mushrooms, as well as some mushrooms growing right in the lawn which are decent edibles, Aaron explains things in an understandable way, with a magical and charming theme that is Mushroom Wonderland.

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 and general morphology. 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.
