This Is How We Preserve Our Wild Mushroom Harvest

Some of the tastiest and healthiest mushrooms grow wild. We harvest several varieties of wild mushrooms including golden or yellow chanterelles. We like to make sure we have these available to eat all year long, so we preserve them using a couple of different methods. Wild mushrooms like these chanterelles are very high in naturally occurring vitamin D due to where they grow, exposed to sunlight. Frying and freezing them and dehydrating them are great ways to make sure you have wild chanterelle mushrooms all year round.

I freeze dried my whole harvest last year. It was also my first mushroom hunt.

@debbiechambers3423 9 месяцев назад

I canned nine pints of chanterelle mushrooms and two quarts of dehydrated love them

I think it's worth mentioning that there's a toxic look alike. Jack-o'-lantern

Awesome

@thefishfin-atic7106 11 месяцев назад

another awesome video! I have always dried my chanterelles and other mushrooms for long-term storage; had no idea you could pre-cook them and then freeze them like that! Thanks for sharing.

@Wilderstead 11 месяцев назад

Give it a try! We find it a better tasting product than the dried ones. Both are good, but we do indeed prefer the sautéed and frozen ones.

@wingnutbert9685 9 месяцев назад

@@Wilderstead I'll second the freezing! I saute in a bit of butter and salt until the liquid is drawn out, like in your pan. BUT...I stop sauteing them, drain them into a bowl, through a sieve. Put drained shrooms in a separate bowl. Once all are done, I prep vac bags, fill equally with shrooms, then add back the drained liquid evenly between the bags. Freeze then vac seal. You could also just keep the saute juices separate and freeze for a soup base. I like having the liquid in with the shrooms. I figure why waste the broth when it has flavour too. Your Chant's are a nice orange. Our's here on Van. Island are pale. We pick around our property. We get them anywhere from a teacup saucer size to a dinner plate! Hope this year is good. Last couple have been a bust. Same for Matsutake/Pine Mushrooms.

As a fellow Canuck food prices are absurd! I have been serious about food storage since 2009,I can’t tell you how many people have made negative comments to me about it,I don’t care but don’t come knocking when shit goes sideways and you’re hungry. Prepare today survive tomorrow! We love foraging and growing our own food! Every home needs a garden !

Nice chanterelles I am a harvestor of mushrooms, berries and medicinal herbs. Chanterelles you can eat straight up, but are great when fried with bacon onions and eggs. There are LOTS of mushrooms you can eat straight up! But you must be very well versed in which ones are dealy poisonus which there is NOT that many In North America (I harvest in the Boreal /Canadian Shield) Chanterelles you do not NEED to cook, all you have to do is let the sun dry them either whole or you can slice and dry them outside in the sun which will also give the mushrooms VIT C you do this for 3 days bring them in when dark outside. So if you want to infuse your mushrooms with Vitamin C let them get some sun!

@Wilderstead 10 месяцев назад

The sun will potentially increase Vitamin D, bud, not vitamin C. They grow outside exposed to the sun and have already absorbed as much as they can for the most part. And yes, if you like, you can dehydrate outside. We harvest a very large amount of wild foods too.

@carolkantner1770 11 месяцев назад

I'd like to find some of those

@ExitTheMatrixVR 6 месяцев назад

How for the butter cooking method how do you thaw them out once you take them out the freezer.

@user-yb5jk9dw2n 2 месяца назад

How long and what temperature is good for dehydrator mushrooms

@homesteader86 11 месяцев назад

Another awesome video! I am loving these. We are moving up to Zone 2 next month and hope to follow some of your tips. Can you please show us how you cook with the dehydrated mushrooms as well? Do you just stick them into stews etc. Or do you need to rehydrate first? Thank you and keep up the fantastic content!

@Wilderstead 11 месяцев назад

Yup, just rehydrate them in some warm water, then cook them as you please. We’ll try to get a recipe video up soon with them 😉 cheers!

@islandlife7872 11 месяцев назад

Fan from NL...I have a few Chanterelles on my property, but have been trying to help them spread...do you guys have any tips?

@Wilderstead 11 месяцев назад

Chanterelles are entirely dependant on the surroundings they live in. They’re a mycorrhizal fungi, the bulk of their being lives beneath the soil and is never seen. Let the area be itself and chanterelle fruits should continue.

@islandlife7872 11 месяцев назад

@@Wilderstead I have been, but trees (fir mostly) and other plant species are taking over. It's a small area, a lot of moss but again there is no stream in the area...I know that's not always important...but the forest is taking over and the chanterelle population is declining. Thank you for responding! Always nice to know somebody is willing to share info to others

@julynbaker1718 11 месяцев назад

What do those kind of mushrooms taste like?

@Wilderstead 11 месяцев назад

They have a bit of a delicate fruity (apricot) aroma. Very tasty.

@robertreed7963 3 месяца назад

I describe it as peppery. BUT, the fact is I like them and I hate vegetables. ( I still don't think carrots are actually food for humans ). I eat them in the woods as I find them unless I have an occasional visitor I want to impress with my Bear Gryls imitation.
