Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot, I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
A thought on what you were saying about sustainability and gratitude in harvesting: I like to harvest mushrooms in a mesh bag - such as the kind one buys onions in. This leaves plenty of gaps for the mushrooms to drop spores on the return trip home - particularly in the environment where they were found. Let's face it: if they were found there, it's an agreeable habitat for them - so spreading spores as one heads back to the trailhead or car is a great way of helping the fungus and giving something back.
@@gorgjesss I can't honestly take credit; I picked up the tip from some other mushroom hunter. I was just passing it along. Knowledge is free wealth. 🙂👍
@Queen Rainy I did not say or think any thing against you or bad about you. I think this video was great. I think you might have accidentally confused my comment or confused my comment with someone else.
Adam - I must say THANK YOU! Your mind is one of the most mystically MARVELOUS myco-minds I've ever seen!! And I'm an old girl of 63 years. I've learned so much about mushrooms from you. How DO you know so much, dahhling?? LOL!!
mushroom: fruit stage of fungi life cycle mycelium: basically fungi root/body types - found on: saprotrophic - decomposer fungi 5:27 parasitic - usually on living plants + insects... 5:37 mycorrhizal - mutual plant partner in nutrient absorption 5:06 the trick is - 6:02 - note mushroom seasons: early spring to mid/late autumn - (sometimes some grow on winter) - rain-prone woodlands ≈ number + diversity *7:14* .... 8:35 - shape ID 9:40 - color ID .... 10:30 items for harvesting: knife, container, hand lens, brush, (optional) camera 2 harvest methods - 11:48 (partial/whole) 14:10 safety guidelines - 15:30 (forage from clean, identify first, cook small) 16:09 🍄✨
i've Never met this man and highly doubt i ever will but i absalutely appreciate and adore him ohhh so much for his kindness and generosity shareing all his amazing knowledge!! 🥰😍😘 what an awsome person he is!
Thank You for sharing your brilliant, wonderful, and very much needed knowledge! Great people like You make life worth living! Thank You for sharing your adventures, your experiences, your observations. Your impressive IQ is astonishing in every video clips you've made for us! Last but not least, we love your perfect, clear, and precise voice! May God's Blessings be with You and Yours for always!!!
Beautifully said at the end brother.. True nature connection is the ultimate goal in your land, not successful mushroom identifications.. Really love the content man, you’ve influenced me a great deal in how I view the land around me ✌️
this is so well done it's shocking. after this 30 min video I feel confident I can walk outside and begin to go observe the mushrooms that grow in my woods and bring back some characteristics to research further
With regards to conservation & sustainable foraging, some North American Indian tribes practice(d) finding three of a plant before harvesting from one of them. It is an awesome discipline imo.
No don't imagine that , they would all b using limited resources, let the dumb eat their n as produced fake foods to keep our real treason healthy grocery store o forest market safe and productive?
I don't collect mushrooms but I seek them out for the joy of looking at them. Your videos make the process even better. Thanks so much for these amazing videos!!!
I’m so glad I watched this.The other day I was driving in south Jersey and it seemed like everywhere I looked there was mushrooms.I’ve always wanted to learn more about them,This was a awesome start!
you are the best educator on the subject. Intelligent, well spoken, enthusiastic, not pretentious and everything you say means something. No silly music, no camera tricks, no extras. THANK YOU FOR HARD WORK, you are amazing
"Puff Balls are really easy to positively identify, the only thing you might confuse it with is a soccer ball, volleyball, or bag of trash" LOL.. this guy is gold
I’ve harvested puffballs as large as a foot wide and pure white and solid inside . Sliced in one inch slabs and pan fried in butter with garlic and some salt . It’s like eating a steak .
I recently found your channel. I have been into mushroom hunting for 25+ years. The way you explain things simply and with enthusiasm is exactly what new foragers need. Great job, and I agree with others here that you should consider a guide book as well. All in all A+ my friend!
Seeing a new Learn Your Land video is like Christmas morning! Thanks again Adam. Found some Dryad Saddles again yesterday in eastern PA. Morels should be anyday now! Found 2 sheds and a plate full of fiddleheads too
If there's a state forest or park near you, check the laws in your area about foraging on state land and try there. The forest Adam is in is clearly a managed forest like a state park. Natural, unmanaged forests generally have thick underbrush.
@@tissuepaper9962 there’s a large part of unmanaged forest at the end of my neighborhood. There’s a trail that goes through them down to lake Lanier in ga, the brush nearby the trail is very thick but if you push through it, the forest opens up a little bit.
Hey, Adam! I don't know if you've considered this, but I really hope you consider publishing a mushroom hunting guide. Even if it's just a digital download and print deal, none of the guides I've seen have been great and I'm confident you would outclass them all handily. Thanks man, take care.
*Psilocybin my my Mom's death from cancer a "happy death". My mom had serious END OF LIVE anxiety and she was freaking out! We called an END OF LIFE expert and they suggested Psilocybin mushrooms. They use this all the time in the State of NY. My Mom went from a nervous wreck to a happy person picking invisible Butterfly's out of the air with a big smile. In fact, it may should funny but she actually had a giant smile on her face after she died. A big plus knowing she died happy made it so much easier on all of us kids and my Dad.*
A London University assignment to measure the micilliim that has relationship to a single Oak Tree in London’s centre. They followed the matrix and measured that it spread out four and a half miles in all directions. You have t love that.💜🍄🌳
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to help maintain an area of woods and had a basic knowledge of flowering plants but little knowledge of fungi. Thank you for helping me to identify my first black morel!
Thank you for making these videos. My son and I just moved and have a national forest as a backyard. We are truly learning so much from your videos and appreciate the inspiration you've given us.
Watched your video about stinging nettle. Couldn't locate any near me, so I started some from seeds. I think I've created a monster!!! Also, I had the opportunity to pick up some maple logs, purchased Shitake spor and inoculated them. We'll see what happens next year. Thank you so much for the time you put into educating us!
Dang I want to grow my own food like that. I've heard those are very nutritious with medicinal uses (stinging nettle). But seems like it'll cost a pretty penny... And where I live, the value of a penny outweighs our currency 😭
Eastern PA - Love your channel content - newer to wildcrafting - starting to work mushrooms - searched for beginner - yours is the first video again You are among a select few that I don't have to test to see if there is actually any useful content - THANK YOU!
I love the footage of you actually harvesting these mushrooms, because it helps put their size into perspective. I was surprised at how large a lot of them are. The only mushrooms I’ve ever really noticed, are the white ones that pop up in my lawn here in eastern PA. Thanks for this great video - I’m an instant fan of your channel!
Great overview, indeed! I have long been a member of the Pacific Northwest Mycological Society, and am gratefull you stressed the value of membership in a group. It's a HUGE resource, and you'll be amazed what you can learn. One of my group-found skills is how to make mushroom paper. Both globally, and in our (my) region, an important researcher to add is our own Paul Stamets. His presence can be found right here on RU-vid, and his knowledge will blow you away. One of his recent projects is identifying types of mysilia and processes to denature biohazards like Fukushima radiation. Again, great video! Thank you.
Excellent Adam!!! Well covered the basics & more~~~ LOVE the vid of the bug cleaning its face....amazing capture!!! Sure is a full lesson!! Thank you!!
I really enjoyed this video! My grandfather used to pick morel mushrooms in the woods behind his house. I used to live near Galion Ohio. I am in North Carolina now and we have completely different mushrooms here but some of the same ones as there. I always wondered what kind of mushrooms Grandpa used to pick and I found this video, thank you!
"With all that in mind, let's begin to explore the wonderful world of mushrooms and more. Conventional wisdom, not so much folklore But who's to decide what we must ignore? NOT BIG PHARMA, THAT'S FOR SURE!
Loved this video and finally got the point of the spore print. I was, initially, a little disappointed that there was no mention of false morels. I had read previously that they can be hard to distinguish from true morels, but after a little research this morning, found this to be not as difficult as I had previously thought. Thanks so much
I am also a mushroom lover. This informative documentary on mushroom expanded the horizons of my knowledge of mushrooms' so that I got attracted to learning more about mushrooms. Actually, This has a really nice, well organized content. Best wishes and much thanks from Sri Lanka.
Well done Adam! I believe that this is one of your older videos as I kind of remember seeing a lot of the information that you presented herein. In any event, never hurts to watch any previous info about mushrooms! Thanks & hope that you & yours are staying safe............ 👍👍🍄🍄🍄🍄👍👍
My wife, Maria, wanted me to write you a thank you for the clear and helpful presentation. She said she liked your photographs, your detailings, and your clear English presentation. I also thank you.
Thank you for your videos. Very helpful, learning a lot. I am in Poland so gets difficult to learn about new mushrooms since many people don't speak English and don't know other species as edibles. Groups on FB are helping me with identification aside from your videos. Really thankful for your channel.
I recognized a lot of the mushrooms in this video. I don't think this is just for new folk. This is for amateurs too! Always good to refresh your mushroom knowledge. And also good to encourage us to read fungi journal articles
I just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put into sharing this hobby! I stumbled upon Learn your Land when I first moved to the PA area, about 3 years ago. Call me a slow starter, but I'm taking the kids out to go hunting for the first time today!
So amazing and informative, thank you! I was in my hardwoods forest yesterday in S Central Ohio. Found 3 little morels. Picked a nice bouquet of young dandelion, yellow and garlic mustard leaves, field garlic. I learned how to stir fry them from one of your previous videos. I splash on balsamic vinegar to sweeten up a bit. Organic and delicious! Makes you feel so good inside.
That was the most learned & educational video on fungi I’ve seen, easy to understand & absorb . Thanks for your time and effort, it’s quite evident that you know what your talking & explaining about, much appreciated, l fully intend to absorb your other videos of what is a wonderful subject matter. Thank you so much!. Paul B😊👍
Thanks for teaching me more. I've been exploring/gathering mushrooms for about 5 years not. In Finland. One thing I always tell people when they start there mushroom adventure is to use baskets or bags that have 3to5 mil. Holes it is vary important. To let mushroom spores fall out. Alot of place in souther Finland many mushroom species have decreased. Because of people gathering with bags baskets and buckets that don't have holes.
For what it's worth, thankyou for your dedication to knowledge and education. I am certain your work will have a lasting impact on the world (beyond the world of micology). I've enjoyed your videos for several years now, and it is thanks to YOU, that I have gone from an adult who was scared to even touch a mushroom, to someone who harvested close to a lb. wet of black trumpets last year from his own property. This has tremendously enriched my life, as I enjoy cooking very much, and wild mushrooms are an invaluable asset to me now.
I found your videos and they're Great. I've been hunting Morels for Decades now . I watched 2 of your videos and learned more in a few minutes than in years of being in the woods. I'm going to expand my search to include some other types . Thanks 🙏
Adam, thank you for such high-quality content and conscious intention behind your words. It’s unbelievable how much you cover, with clarity, buoyancy and balanced perspective. You are helping so many people!
