Strange Oysters & Other Summer Mushrooms 

Just wanted to say how thankful I am that you are still providing us with free content. I would have loved to take your course but it was out of my price range for the time being, I've been following you a few years and I was afraid this channel might fade away. Always a highlight of my week when one of these drops.

I met a forager a few years ago who was pulling out trash with his mushrooms. I do this now sometimes. Your inclusion of this will inspire me to be even more proactive. Thanks!

This is one of the best channels on youtube.. instead of filling his video with sponsored advertising he uses the time to encourage people to clean up nature. If even a few people take the advice it will improve nature for everyone. Thumbs up, thumbs way up.

Thanks Adam...always enjoy your videos. And appreciate the plug for picking up garbage...always do so myself.

Hooray! I like the deep woods trash clean-up!!! Thank you for the tips of identification, too!

Anyone else like and share before watching? I always do. Adam, truly wonderful information as always.

You are amazing, I love what I learn from you. National Geographic or Discovery needs to hire you for a program.

Love your videos. You're deeply knowledgeable, so immersed in your subject that you aren't self-conscious, and your photographer is spectacular.

Im glad you brought it up I to have been picking up trash in my state forest in ct for years. People ask me why. They say your not getting paid. My answer is that it my forest and i enjoy it in its natural state. The thing is people are greedy selfish and inconsiderate thank you

Thanks to your channel, I enjoyed my first boletes last year, and chicken of the woods the year before. I love mushrooms with wild garlic, and eat them by the hundreds, and like them with the blossoms still on. I put them in soups, salads, stir-fry, omelets, I even add them to fresh homemade salsa cruda. I have always been a forager, and am glad to have a good source for mushroom ID, as I only knew a couple for certain. I have also taught several homeless and low-income people to identify a number of readily available wild foods.

I have seen the wild garlic before but had no clue what it was, once again never to old to learn something new. Thanks again for a great video Adam.

Keep it coming please. Helping us all to enjoy the bounty of nature without killing ourselves.

Dude you are super confident in your ids.

Thank you for telling us about the sassafras leaves, and about picking up trash in the woods - especially your reason for doing so.

i love you Adam for encouraging us to reciprocate, and for all the knowledge you share.

I used to think living far enough north that all your videos were 3 weeksish out of season was a detriment, but the more I watch your videos, and the more I learn, it's becoming a great heads up on when to start looking for things.

Thank you for picking up garbage when your out. I do the same thing. Plus your videos have been very helpful, thank you.

I have been binge watching your channel for the past week and I am captivated. The amount of information in one of your videos is amazing.

Thank you! You make time in the woods like a treasure hunt!

Glad to hear from you

Love, love, love your videos!! Thank you so much for each and every one!

Great video! Thank you so much for mentioning to remove trash, I try to do the same and it does make a difference!

Thank you for the wonderful video! ..... I enjoyed the recipe at the end too. I appreciate that you "clean " any garbage in the woods as you hike. This is a wonderful way to give back to nature. I am greatly enjoying your videos- the photography and your knowledge!

Squirrels LOVE all russula mushrooms! I had about 3-4 types in my backyard, gone in 2 hours! Love you Adam!

A day in the woods is good for the soul. I don't like to eat mushrooms but love to see them as well as ALL the flora & fauna.

What a joy to find your latest video in my inbox. Great content Adam!

Good to see you...thanks for your important info!

Thanks Adam for adding the cooking part. I think this helps us to know what to do when we get home. I lost access to my foraging area (damn subdivisions) and can't find any foraging groups here (the lady that had a group died before I could sign up) so I watch every video you have ever produced trying to learn my land.

I particularly enjoyed how you prepared the haul for eating. Keep up the good work Adam.

Great comment on picking up trash. I do the same, and have hauled a lot out already this spring and early summer.

Thank you for bringing up the subject of trash in our public lands. A good reminder that these lands belong to us all, and it's up to all of us to keep it clean no matter how the trash escaped into the forest. And great mushroom information as well. Thank you!

You are so amazing Adam! I just love your work and your dedication to education and the environment!

Take it its you playing the guitar Adam.......... nice grooves man.. perfect.

Your videos are always excellent! Thanks for sharing! Yep, I take trash out with me too.. Hate seeing garbage in the woods.

Love the wild cooking.

This guys great. Probably the most thorough and understandable mushroom guy out there. Keep it up brotha!

Top notch video

Your very knowledgeable about mushrooms and plants. Thanks for making these videos.

Wonderful, as always! Thanks Adam!

I like your simple inserts of wild plants and nature in general

As usual Adam, your videos and knowledge are appreciated. Keep up the great work. Let's leave the woods cleaner than we found it.

ok, fine i subbed. you're too good. good sound, good video, good lighting, good info, and good host.

Thanks Adam! I found these for the first time this year

Adam as always thank you so much for the share.

Wonderful info. Thanks so much for your time and effort.

I love how you threw in a lot of info on other mushrooms and showed what else you had harvested for a meal. Didn't know about sassafras leaves being edible and lemony. Cool!

Absolutely love the fact you are encouraging harvesting trash too! Always informative, and entertaining. Cheers from Tennessee.

Awesome video. I also pick up trash while I'm foraging, hunting, or fishing and am glad to know I'm not the only one

I'm learning so much from your videos. I'm England based, so I have to cross check the species you discuss in your videos to see if they can be found where I live. My journey started with reading Mycelium Running and it's quickly driven me down a colourful path, paved by the intricate beauty of nature and all it has to offer. I no longer just walk through the woods but now explore everything within it. Thank you, Adam. Whole heartedly, your content is deeply appreciated and you're an inspiration to my partner and I.

I'm so very VERY greatful for how much you have taught me!! Thank you!

Hi Adam, thank you for sharing another fine video. I am looking forward to seeing more fine videos. Thanks again.

Always a pleasure to see your videos. Help me a lot. Thanks 🙏🏼🍄💕

Your a good man Adam, thanks for sharing and as always, God bless you!

I love your channel, it's great to see so much passion!!!

Great mushroom video. I never eat wild mushrooms, but I love taking pictures of them. They can be positively stunning!

Totally enjoyed your latest video. With plant and mushroom identification...and how to prepare them at home. Explains the missing Sassafras leaves on a hiking trail near us. Enjoyed your class at this years Great Lakes Forager's Gathering.

Awesome video Adam! Thanks for sharing not just your knowledge but your positive energy and messages too :)

Very great to see you hunting in another beautiful summer season! Thankyou for spreading your knowledge and giving inspiration!

Great video thanks so much Adam!

Thank you 🙏 for continuing to provide this free content with all the work that you must be putting in to your online course. You’ve advanced my knowledge of wild plants and fungi over the years more than any other source and I owe you a great debt of gratitude. Hopefully soon I’ll make room in the budget for your class with all the money I’m saving foraging free meals!

Another great video thanks again Adam

Thanks for another video. It's great to see that have and share a great respect for nature's beauty. Enjoy her bounty.

Great stuff, as always

Really like this video, going through several types of mushrooms in the basket is great! Your enthusiasm is infectious as always! I appreciate the knowledge and enunciation in all your videos!

Thanks man! Much appreciated.. you definitely inspire.

I'm just starting to get a grasp on what's around me, I really appreciate your knowledge and straightforward content. Helps us up and comer's feel alot more confident!

Hey love your videos!! Still pretty new to the channel so i'll have to keep lookin around but most of what I've seen has been of hunting and I.D. which is amazing, but I would love to see how you prepare some of the less common varieties in the kitchen! Thank you for the invaluable info!

Thank you. Wish I’d had this two months ago when I was worried about making my first wild mushroom ID. Very clear distinction of the dryinus.

Adam you're our mushroom maestro, you're the best! 💚🌍

Love these videos… I’m truly inspired.

Thank You again Adam!!!

Grapefruit with a dirty sock smell. Hmm I've never seen that air freshener in the store

Nice touch with the cooking, thanks

You gave back by picking up the trash :] Thank you.

Superb video many thanks.

Thank you. This was excellent!

Thank you for your videos and for the positive encouraging way you teach us about the amazing world we live in.

Hi Adam🌞 always excited to see a new video from you! Appreciate the recipe....that's a bonus..thanks! I would love it if you came to British Columbia's Lower Mainland to do a foraging walk....or even Washington state😊🤩

Good idea to use an egg carton!! Didn't know we could eat Sassafras leaves. Thanks for the tip! Nice little dish you made!! Looks delish! I cannot believe people trash the woods that they selfishly enjoy. :( Good guy to pick up!! :)

Its the highlight of my day when I see you have a new video out. I always know its going to be good, so I always hit that like button before I even watch the video.

Thank you! Have never seen wild garlic. Hoping that it may grow in Michigan as well.

Thanks Adam for another GREAT video! I harvested my first favorite mushroom of the year yesterday..... Chanterelles! Found about three dozen nice size ones with my son. Again, thumbs up from eastern Ohio:)

Thank you for this presentation. It will probably be two weeks before I harvest the scapes from the garlic growing in the wild plot near my house. I haven't decided what to cook them with yet. Glad to see you had a good day foraging. Enjoy

Love watching your clips. Learn so much. I wish I am in your state. Beautiful and have so many mushrooms. 🍄🍄🍄❤️

Great work as always, Adam! Very interesting about Pleurotus dryinus. Also, I love those flour jars next to your stove! So cute.

Great video. I just found my first veiled oyster in Columbia, MO. We also picked up lots of trash along our hike... including an old 1970's Hamms can! :)

hey man, love your videos. You are helping me expand my knowledge on mushrooms so much. Thank you for being so wise and sharing your knowledge with us.

What a rollercoaster ride. I didn’t think that would be an oyster

Thanks so much. And yes, leave it better than you found it.

Man your are extremely knowledgeable, this is awesome and you are so good at explaining everything. Amazing video

Yes! Thankyou Adam for such great content. I never cease to be amazed and I'm pretty stoked you upload as often as you do. One thing I've always wandered and I'm sure the info is out there but I've yet to find is... where do you get your audio? I love that type of transitive acoustic slow jam music!

Another wonderfully entertaining educational video from Adam! Thank you for all you do - and especially the trash plug. Since WE are the ones deepest in the woods it behooves Shroomers to do their part while taking from our Mother! ((( Hugs ))), Honor, and Deep respect.

Love the videos! Keep up the good work!

Great video with all the critters. I like seeing the different fungi you found. I found a few things today including a baby L. indigo, Xylaria liquidambaris and Thelephora vialis.

Thank you so much. I have had so much questions with crown tipped coral. I've had some competing information on it.

Great content buddy please make sure to continue to make videos. We would all very much appreciate it

I always enjoy your videos, not to mention learning something interesting. Thanks for mentioning picking up trash when out foraging. I do the same. I have also shared your name and channel with others.

Very knowledgeable! I love your videos!

great culinary aid foraging video Adam looking forward to the next culinary wild edibles video👍👍👍

Excellent content and videography as always - thank you :)
