My mother got me into foraging and I love it. It's exiciting, relaxing and really clears the mind from all the everyday stress (as a "casual" forager). Walking around in beautiful forests, enjoying nature and breathing fresh air is really special. I really recommend trying it, but as mentioned in the video, it is very important to not pick or eat anything you are not completely sure of. Much love from Sweden!
This is so incredibly awesome!! Congrats to the Foraged Feast!! I’ve purchased their foraged mushrooms at a local farmers market and I’ve learned and tried new varieties because of them!! So delicious!!
Learning how the food of the outdoors grow like mushrooms all the different types and sizes and flavors they have, and how you can understand why mushrooms bring a lot of fresh flavor to your meal.
Foraging should be reserved for personal use. In some areas in EU, there is hundreds of workers coming from other countries even that come to """forage""" all the produce in the woods. Local people can't access these then. And then supermarkets or restaurants re-sell those mushrooms, berries etc at a high price. fak this. Hobbits would not build a business out of exploiting wild produce like that. Foraging to innoculate and cultivate on your own land, why not. In all cases: respect for the knowledge and skill.
Bigfoot Seekers: "I mean, who would be this far out into the forest? Let alone making odd noises?" Mushroom Foragers: "YIP" I think about this every time a Bigfoot searcher says something along the lines of that. They have no idea lol.
I myself mushroom hunt saffron milk caps and boletus mushrooms, both are very easy to identify. Milk caps have none that are poisonous, but can be very unpleasant like hotter than a pepper. Some are so hot they feel like they could stop your breathing but won't kill you just very unpleasant. Boletus are very easy to identify as they do not have normal gills but network of pores and once again only one is toxic but not deadly.
Great video. Love his enthusiasm! There are some inaccuracies though. 1. He points out what he thinks to be destroying angels, but it's not possible to confirm that they are from the video alone. The ones in the video look more like an agaricus species. 2. Mushrooms don't have high protein content. It is beneficial to eat mushrooms for their nutritional content (some can have high vitamin D content for example) and while some nutrients are only found in mushrooms (myconutrients), you definitely won't be eating mushrooms for their high protein content. Also an fyi: he chews on some of the wild mushrooms, but hopefully he spits them out after. This can be done to correctly ID species, but you should never eat raw mushrooms. They should always be cooked. Happy hunting :)
A small taste of a wild mushroom you know wont hurt you and mushrooms have from 2-24 g protein / 100 g which is pretty high for essentially 70-90% water
Repeated ingestion of raw mushrooms lead to the accumulation of damaging compounds in the body. A couple years ago this wasn't clear but now we have enough scientific evidence to basically say that it's not recommended at all. @@myceliation
Thanks for not using latin names,thats how i can tell you actually know what your talking about. People who use latin names usually have no mushroom picking experiences foreging .good video on mushrooms, rare to find.
So way to go man ,me and my wife run a commercial mushroom business in the northwest. Where are you located. Our business is called Cascade wild mushrooms and more llc.we pick morels, lobsters, kings, chanterelles honey mushrooms matsatake.picked 500 lbs of burn morels this season. Found a nice king spot and got 100 lbs last week.
The Foraged Feast website has all the Farmers markets and an online store will be up and running soon for shipping outside of NJ. Otherwise reach out and see about meeting us at a market.
It depends on region. There are fantastic guides out for wherever you live I am sure. Samuel Thayer, Michael Kuo, and David Arora are 3 of my favorite resources for general help in the US.
Wild mushrooms are so much more delicious than cultivated ones. It’s one of those ingredients that are *actually* worth the extra money, it’s not a gimmick or marketing; if you can get it, get it. Death trumpets, giroles, morels, and of course truffles.
So so cool. I really want to get into foraging. Just need to find someone who knows what they're doing to go with a few times until I feel like I know more about which onces can kill me hahA
This is dope I love mushrooms never knew the actual science behind it but I would love to learn more especially being from the west coast Vancouver B.C. To be exact 👍
Yes! The Foraged Feast is located in northern New Jersey and sells both cultivated and wild foraged greens and mushrooms at a variety of Farmers markets listed on our website.
It would take the sale of quite a few 'shrooms to affort all of that YETI kit. Of courese, these guys are apparently sponsored. At any rate, an interesting video! 👍
Los hongos jamás deben ser recolectados con cestos de lona o plástico. Se llevan en cestos de materiales naturales para favorecer la expansión de esporas mientras se recogen.
Well i'm not a Chef but if you sold/shipped to individuals, i'm already in!😅 It just occurred to me that those regularly foraging fungi have a front row seat to environmental effects on the earth and its growing things.
Man...if Last of Us scenario will ever happen this man better hide as good as he can cause they will be after him. I bet mushrooms will do that just to hunt this man down. 😂
@@benjaminhasselberg thanks for the info! They are apparently closely related. There was a dinner party "incident" in Australia a few months ago where four people were poisoned by suspected death cap. The progression of symptoms outlined on this video is identical to what death caps do. Scary little aliens!
Ok listen MUSHROOMS are not nutritious in the sense of protein or carbohydrate or anything ..Do they taste amazing and have great fibers and are healthy. absolutely !!! but they are not nutritious.
Dear friends, if you really love mushrooms and take care of them, you should know that they must not be harvested cutting the base with a knife, because what remains will develop rottenness that will damage the micelio in the ground. Mushrooms must be taken by the base and rotated until they come out. As you (only) did with the big porcino. More than this, the best way to bring them home is using a wicker basket, so the spores can fall to the ground and give birth to other mushrooms. I saw many mistakes you should avoid.
Yeah screw his yeti bag, get a wicker basket or netted bag. All that talk about mushroom spore reproduction then just not give them a chance to reproduce.
So what happens to a mushroom that nobody forages when it inevitably decays? Does every mushroom hurt its own mycelial network by going through its natural life cycle?
U shouldn't show them eating raw mushroom they just picked without a disclaimer to not do this with 99% of mushrooms because the are almost all toxic if not cooked properly, people might get ideas if they see something like that
One message is lost here. No mushroom is worth your health! You have to follow three rules: 1)There are many more poisonous mushrooms that can kill you in three days. Many of them look very close to edible mushrooms. Not 100% sure, new to the game do not take there are plenty of other mushrooms. 2) When I was watching episode, I cringed a little. Three people gathering mushrooms in short in the places with dense grassy vegetation and forests with mosquitoes. It is recipe for getting tick on you! Protect your self from ticks (and mosquitoes) 3) Mushrooms are full on nutrients and minerals because they absorb EVERYTHING around them. Thus, do not collect mushrooms in the cities, especially places where herbicides/pesticides or fertilizers was used.
Saprophytic does not mean that it’s working on killing the tree. It means it is decomposing a tree that is very weak or already dead, and that is a big difference when you categorize the ecological roles of funga. It also makes absolutely no sense to talk about animals and funga as close cousin. That’s simply ridiculous. It’s nice to watch people getting more in touch with nature and sharing their enthusiasm for foraging, but it’s not cool to blurt out scientific-sounding BS. For the love of science and mushroom foragers worldwide, please stop doing that.
The thing with fungi is that there are likely exponentially more species our there but theyre so hard to pin down taxonomically. Additionally plants are essentially abstracted fungi due to endophytes which make up all their secondary metabolites
