Big Toe Bushcraft, Wild Foraging & ID Vancouver Is
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2023
Take a walk with me through my property on the East coast of Vancouver Island to see what we can see and possibly, forage and identify some local wild flora, fauna, & mushrooms. I also want to eventually upload some videos on Bushcraft, Survival, Paddling the lake, Gold Panning and some soothing asmr. #bushcraft #wildforaging #identification #asmr
Ep 21 Toe Tally Amazing Mushrooms! A Mid January Fungal Walk.
Little and I didn't think we'd find any mushrooms today, but were we wrong. Nothing edible, but Awesome finds, none the less. We also stopped by the Lake to visit our Waterfowl Friends.

As Little and I were walking this morning, I was remembering to when I was an Admirer of Mushrooms, but didn't really know much about them. So since we had an empty basket, & were amongst a plethora of Fungi, I started collecting as we walked, with the idea of a comparative display. I hope our Mushroom Admirer's pick up at least one little tidbit of knowledge from the video. #wildmushrooms #fun...

Ep 3 Toe Tally Amazing Mushrooms Late November to Mid December Mushrooms on Vancouver Island
20:20 Pretty sure that's Chrysomphalina genus, probably C. aurantiaca. Yellow to orange , growing on conifer, white spored, with slightly decurrent gills. Chrysomphalina chrysophylla is another contender, but that tends to have a more brown top though, and actually can look quite a bit like winter chantarelle.
I was hoping you'd chime in on this one. I thought I searched every Omphalinoid mushroom...apparently not lol. Thanks so much. It looks exactly like the aurantiaca. Thank-you..I was going to start ripping out what little hair I have left on my head. haha You Rock!
@@bigtoebushcraftwildforagin1970 Always happy to help!
Wonderful video. Thanks There are still some golden chantrelles and lots of winter ones for a few more days . I believe we are going to get hit with some winter blast in the next few days .
The cold is coming, but yes, I loaded up my basket with winters yesterday. I find a few Goldens here and there still too
Great video as always I’m only part way through it, but I wanna put this comment in here now before I watch the rest of it and then I’ll watch the rest of it. Where can I find more sources to learn about alphaperineric acid? Also, should I start carrying loonies and toonies with me so I can measure mushrooms? I think I have some somewhere ha ha
Hahaha! That's our imperial measurement here. We don't have pennies anymore, so that threw a real glitch in things lol. The APA is naturally occurring and so far only found in Clavulina cristata and certain seed oils...as far as I know. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9203645/
Thanks again for another informative video.
Thank you for another very informative video. I have something that’s kind of like turkey tail growing on rotten Douglas fruit logs in my yard but it’s also covered in algae. I think they’re old but not rotten but I’m not sure if they’re safe to use because of the algae. I think they might be. Sterum or however, its spelled. It’s nice to find out that they’re all medicinal. Do the pores have to be really visible to the naked eye or to the naked eyes with reading glasses on? I found something growing on a wild cherry tree the other day and it had pores, but I had to look with my hand lens to really see them.
If it's a Doug Fir, then it's probably a Trichptum...it may be Trichaptum biforme. there are a couple of them, but no toxins found in them as far as I know. The algae shouldn't hurt you...It washes off. The Stereum likes hardwoods, & no pores on the under surface. Pores come in many different sizes, some can't be seen w/out a Magnifying glass. As for your Cherry tree, It's possibly Phellinus pomaceus...Laetiporus (Chicken o the Woods) can also grow in cherry.
Thankyou once again.
Love the videos you're doing such a great job, and it so cool to see your place. I can't wait to meet you
L, really like the deep dive into all the history and coverage of the benefits we get from the shrooms U find Big Toe. Happy New Year to ya. Have my turkey tail tea in hand, be well Toe.

We love your channel ❤
Thankyou :).
Thankyou once again. I really appreciate all your videos.
Thank-you...I enjoy making them & I'm so happy that yourself and others are liking watching.
Another nice video. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching
Oh wow, I make pizza every week. I need to try this. I’ve been wondering what to do with those hips too. This was a really fun video to watch. Thank you for posting it.
Thank-you...Pizza is so versatile ( & Yummy), and I've been itchin to make a tomatoey base out of the hips for a while. A pain to separate the meat, but worth it
How do you preserve your mushrooms? I’ve been doing all kinds of canning as my hedge against inflation. Is that lake on your property? Does it have fish in it. I lived in New Zealand for a year during COVID and the groceries were so expensive there because they had a grocery duopoly It’s getting that way here in the United States too now it’s horrible.
I usually dehydrate, but I'm going to get back into pickling (I've never pickled mushrooms before lol) but some pickling ideas are in some of the comments from people who do it all the time. I get trout fry come up the creek all the time from a lower lake, but I have a large population of Sunfish that nail them as soon as they get to the lake. Thinking of stocking it. Yeah, people are starting to notice the crunch...something has to give.
@ I just started pickling Chantelle’s this year. I have so many fried ones that I canned and ones that I froze so I started pickling them and they’re pretty good. Sunfish are yummy. How big are the sunfish in your pond?
@@WalkswithMoss That's excellent. They're only about 4 inches at the largest, but voracious. I found them a little too bony myself. I found an eco report from '69 saying that there were cutties in there, but didn't say if they were fry or adult. It's 59' deep, so lots of places to hide lol
There's been a lot of recent work in the realm of phenolic yellow staining Agaricus of the west coast too! Newest to the lose your lunch bunch is Agaricus buckmacadooi, very similar to Agaricus deardorffensis except A. buckmacadooi tends to be larger, darker brown and more scaley in comparison to A. deardorffensis.
Lose Your Lunch Bunch!?!...hahahaha love it! I'd love to find a buckmacadooi...I believe they can get up to 10-11" diameter? That would be a show piece! Agaricus are awesome, I just wish more were edible.
Big D here, O.M.S. Portland, Oregon. I, really like the way U cover the all the various info on are little friends out on your walks. It, is good that U point out, the good, bad and ugly little truths, about each of them also. The side by side comparisons really help. The big island, is so cool, I, had a chance to study the geology up there back in the early 80s, while doing field studies. I, have eaten some of those Helvella lucanosa, I found under Doug fir, par boiled them a little. I, am now trying to do the eat your weeds thing also. I, am going to check out all your posts Big Toe. Stay safe and well.
Hey Big D! Thanks for the great feedback. I always found (for me) that comparisons shed a different light by giving the contrast...so, I'm glad you like it as well. I thought about becoming a Geologist, before I decided on studying for Vet back in the 80's. I still collect rocks like a kid. I have still yet to try the Helvella. I've had some cooking guidance from another fungi follower, I just haven't had the stones to do it lol. Thanks for hangin with us
There's an amazing online resource for mushroom dyeing called the Mushroom Color Atlas that shows you what colors a given mushroom species will dye specific fabrics given a particular mordant.
I just checked it out...It is amazing. So much more to learn lol...That was (obviously) my first experiment with natural dyes, & I need to learn more about the different binders for sure...The Atlas is an awesome resource. Thank-you
The bird's nest fungus is on of the top of my list to find, but haven't spotted it yet. Such an unusual looking fungus, I wonder why it evolved that shape.
Yes, very unusual. They have definitely cornered the evolutionary market. Keep looking down...you'll eventually come across one on a stick
I think you need a mordant to make the dye work better
You are most likely correct. It was more of an experiment to see if it would even work lol. Adding bit of Arbutus bark perhaps?
@@bigtoebushcraftwildforagin1970 that reminds me I saw Madrona trees today and I forgot to harvest some bark. I’ve never had Madrona tree bark tea.
@@WalkswithMoss It's nice but mellow, just don't steep it too long, it can get bitter. The berries are nice tea too....Birds got most of them by now
Big D here, o.m.s. member,Portland ore. Just started watching a few days ago. I,like the science and your style of putting it all out there. I, will be watching from now on. Thanks for your effort to educate us all.
Big D!! Great to have you with us. I loved Oregon the 2 times I was there over the years, & Thank-you for the feedback...It helps me in knowing I'm on the right track.
One of the things to note about the Gomphidius: they're one of those mushrooms that are fantastic at bioaccumulating heavy metals out of their environment, particularly lead and arsenic. That tends to be a big issue here with the apple and metal smelting industries nearby, so I haven't been particularly tempted to test them.
That's excellent info, thank you...I'll pass that along in the next one. I think I'd be a little nervous to harvest anything nearby a smelting operation lol.
I've seen so many of the white coral mushrooms this year. Never realised they were edible, or heard about the medicinal properties. Very interesting. I'll definitely be taking a closer look next time I see them.
They're popping up everywhere this time of year. They've become a winter staple for me lol
I made a bunch of turkey mushroom vegetable soup. I canned it with my pressure cooker looking in some of the jars now I can see Pineneedles floating around oh well. The Clavulina is such a pain to clean! I got so small when it was dehydrated though that it was really easy to find the Pineneedles that I missed. I have a TH-cam channel as well and I post a lot of mushroom videos if you care to check them out.
I checked out your channel...you got another subscription.
Your fungal knowledge is impressive. Did you learn some of it in college or are you self taught or both?
Thank-you. Both actually...I majored in Botany for 3 yrs during my BaSc stint...Fungi were a huge part of it. I got back into it all a few yrs ago
@@bigtoebushcraftwildforagin1970 I’ve got a little of both too. I learned a lot about mushrooms on my own and then I went back to college in my 40s and got my bachelor of arts and science degree. In college I studied fungi and moss quite a bit. I really enjoyed college! I graduated in 2013 and I get frustrated because so many of the scientific names of the mushrooms that I had to memorize have changed!
@@WalkswithMoss Right on. They are constantly changing, and almost nothing is the same from when I went in '89-92 lol.
Cool to see you making Douglas-fir Needle tea. I end up with Douglasfir needles in almost everything I eat everything I forage anyway. I’ve just kind of given up on not accidentally eating them. Nice to see you eating them purposefully. Thanks for the cool lesson about Clavulina. I got brave enough to try eating coral mushrooms this year and I’ve been eating lots of the Clavulina. Do you eat it when it’s been parasitized? I picked a whole bunch of it the other day cooked it and dehydrated it and wow, there’s hardly anything left. I plan on adding it to my soups that I cook when I’m out in the woods. I always enjoy your videos please keep them coming!
Yes...Doug fir tea is my # 1 wild tea, Tied with Balsam (which is nice as a rub on a steak. And they do get in everything for sure. A pain to get out of Clavulinas lol. Clavulina was the first mushroom I ate. I don't have a lot of onfo on Helmithospaeria unfortunately, so I'm not sure if it's edible. And thank-you. I'll do my best
I love your videos. I’m down on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state and we didn’t get any wind whatsoever in my location although other places in Washington and of course your area up in BC got hammered.
Glad you're enjoying them, & glad it missed you, yet surprised, being that you are so close. I'm still cleaning things up. lol
I appreciate the mentioning of the vitamins and minerals so helpful. Thank you for your videos
Came here from Buckin Billy Ray’s channel 👍
So great to have you with us....Thank-you. I hope our vids can keep you interested
6:00 Quite recently there's been a lot of movement between Hydnellum and Sarcondon due to DNA evidence. Most of the ones in the Pacific Northwest are still being sequenced, particularly ones from Vancouver Island in which there's a number of mostly unknown Hydnellum species that are being looked at. Exciting stuff! This is probably something Danny Miller of Danny's DNA Discoveries would be interested in. 7:00 Craterellus tubaeformis is also one of my top 3 mushrooms. In part because atop of being delicious, they are also so darn convenient. They rehydrate quickly and thoroughly without changing texture or flavor too much. Their hollow nature means you don't even need a dehydrator to dehydrate them, you can just spread them out on the counter or in the fridge with some paper towels and they'll be fine. Their flavor and color are even alcohol soluble so you can make tinctures and liqueurs with them. This one might be undergoing a name change soon since it's looking quite likely our local PNW species is genetically distinct from the European variety. 23:00 Hydnum species are really fun to do microscopy with! Which is also required to be 100% certain of the species, though functionally it doesn't matter as a forager since all the ones in the PNW are safe and delicious. Do the ones on the island get particularly large? The ones in Washington never seem to get very large no matter the species.
I love the toothed fungi, but I admit, I'm not well versed in them yet...yet. Your info on them is excellent! I've noticed a few different fungi on the island being looked at closer. It IS exciting stuff. The Crates are sooo good, and very convenient. And I had no idea you could dehydrate them on the counter or the fridge. Being that they have so many health benefits, the tincture idea is Awesome. I've just been enjoying them so much, and I find them when I least expect it lol. I used to do a load of microscope work in college, and I miss it. It's on the wish list. The biggest I've seen this year was about a 4" cap, but most 2" and under, and not abundant this year. I've been basically tripping over Chanterelles & Lobsters & mica caps & Blewits since September. Every year is different.
@@bigtoebushcraftwildforagin1970 Sounds pretty similar to Washington. I've never seen one bigger than about 4" but further south into Oregon they get some giants.
@@masamunesword I wish we had larger ones...less harvesting...easier on the back lol
follow the corals.. find the Gold...
might find leprechauns
I'd have to say my favorite soecie are the corals russula and chanterelles for sure

You are in paradise! Love Sooke. So great to have you with us.
i am in Abbotsford , thank you for this video
Thank-you for watching. I used to go to the Abbotsford Airshow every year as a kid. Awesome.
I've had a lovely time watching this so far. Glad i stumbled upon this just now, i plan to stick around !
So great to have you along with us. I'm glad you enjoyed...more to come.
Thanks for the video. I really want to find a blewit. I did not realize they were brown on the top. I’ve always been looking for something that’s purple on the top. I’m down on the Olympic peninsula.
There is some purple around the edges of the margin, but the brown makes them hard to spot. The buttons can look a bit like a young Russula
Cystodermas are so cool. There's a few species in the genus that still produce arthrospores like how yeast do in addition to regular spores but I don't think any that do are native to the Pacific Northwest.
They truly are. Wow. That's quite primitive. I thought they were only still produced by Ascomycotas. There are a couple other genus that have them as well apparently. Great info.
I’m really enjoying your channel. I’m glad I discovered it. My mushroom knowledge is outdated with all the name changes.
Thank-you. They are difficult to keep up with for sure.
Thank you for info❤❤❤
Your welcome...I like passing on knowledge to people who want to know. Thanks for watching
Amethyst deceivers grow all over my local woods (South UK) along with the normal deceivers, the ones I spotted last week were very mature, most are brown on top now. Hoping a few more might pop up when we get some rain again. It's still very warm for this time of year here. I actually quite like eating these if they are young. Not a very strong flavour, but not unpleasant at all.
Awesome!! I like them as well. We're starting to cool down here...lots of rain right now. Still have buttons coming up.
A neat thing about eating honey mushrooms: Most of the really fibrous stuff is in the outermost layer of the stipe. If you care to, you can peel the stipes of that fibrous outer layer with a vegetable peeler or just your fingers if it's big enough, and eat the rest. Since people often just harvest the caps, you can score some freebies if you're willing to do the work. I know a single person that eats Helvella vespertina. They just eat the caps and fry them until they are crisp and says they taste a bit like bacon. Never been brave enough to give it a try myself.
I'm always willing, especially if it increases the harvest. That's so great! I don't think I'll ever eat the Helvella lol
@@bigtoebushcraftwildforagin1970 Well, finally tried Helvella vespertina after finding a really nice patch of them and not a whole lot else in the area and you know what? They're pretty good! The stipes are too tough and rubbery to be palatable but the caps have a similar texture and flavor to Verpa bohemica, which I guess shouldn't be too surprising.
@@masamunesword That's so awesome!! You took the leap! You've inspired me to try them. Any suggestions on cooking?
@@bigtoebushcraftwildforagin1970 I cooked them the way I normally cook verpas and morels since like them, they do need to be thoroughly cooked: I start them in a thin layer of salted water over medium heat, let the water cook off until the pan is nearly dry, then add my fat of choice to the pan and brown them up.
@@masamunesword Excellent Thank-you
Across the water in sechelt here , just subscribed , seeing lots of russala this year
So great to have you with us. I love Sechelt. I paddled all through there years ago and stayed in some awesome cabins. And yes, they just keep coming. Lobsters too
Soup and tea look quite all right. About nettle: Where I am from, we used to make nettle juice (just wash them and use a mechanical juicer), store it in large 3L glass bottles, and drink it mixed with goat milk (you can add some sugar or honey to taste). You can sterilize nettle juice with temperature for longer storage, but the taste will change, and the vitamin content will be reduced.
That's interesting. So many culinary uses, I didn't think about juicing it (nor adding milk for that matter). lol So great. Some vitamins are water soluble, so they can break down over time, so it makes sense. Cheers
Stay hungry indeed
😁
I love it. im going to try the soup. Thank you
Love your channel super informative I subscribed! I too am into nature with gardening/farming Permaculture style and am into mushrooms lately because of the direct relationship with feeding my veggie plants - and have a newer TH-cam channel too if you’d like to take a look and see if your interested in as well ❤ can’t wait to see more and learn from you!
Thank-you and Welcome! Great to have you along for the ride. I've subscribed to your channel as well. Love the gardening.
Thank you for your new video it is so amazing and I learn a lot from you ❤❤❤
Thank-you. It wouldn't be so, without amazing people like yourself. Comments like yours keep me going.
Glad you're having fun with the UV light! Turns out there's a lot of mushrooms we just never really checked with one to see if they fluoresce so it's always fun to just turn it on and see who glows.
It truly is fun. I spent an hour looking around with it after that clip, and found so many more sulphurs I didn't see in the day. Leucopax was cool too.
Question them shaggy Paracel I think that I find a lot of them along the Fraser River Abbotsford area so if Thay stain orange when cut or brake and white Gill's and nor greenish good to go to the frying pan ?
The molybdites changes colour too. Perhaps a little darker. Spore prints are your best indicator. Olive green is the toxic one. you have to be 100% sure you have the right identification before ingesting. The brunneum has a white spore print, & looks like the olivieri, but has made some people sick. I can't make that call unless I had it in my hands.
Thanks I did take one home a few weeks ago but didn't consume.next one I get I'll do a print . good srum channel
