I never get tired of them! Most of the ones I harvest grow in the winter here so mushroom hunting is my winter thing. Thanks for watching!

Well these are all gone but we can go find some more of some other kind and cook them up if you want! We need to get you some logs going in Bama!

Ah man, you're talking next level! You'll have to show us one day. Mine will be pretty simple and I'm pretty sure I'm not making the Miso nearly what it could be. Mushrooms are what got me to trying it though so I love it! Thanks for hanging out, have you grown these yet or do they grow wild there in Indiana?

@@paxtianodirtfrog8947 Yeh, I started out trying to recreate nabeyaki udon soup which is my favorite thing to get at a japanese restaurant when its cold outside..it is a fairly fancy soup.. Now I just kinda wing it with different broths and ingredients. My understanding is that edible Pholiota adiposa mushrooms only grow in Europe, whereas Pholiota adiposa "group" type mushrooms grow in the eastern united states but are not edible. I find only golden pholiota and scalycaps in my woods. I have not grown chestnut mushrooms but would like to in the future.

@@MushroomJourneys-et9gk Interesting, yeah i feel like I need to go down the Japanese Soup rabbit hole in order to get the most out of my mushroom hunting. Also interesting on the Pholiota's, thanks for the info!

I take the stems off my shiitakes and sometimes even the store bought portabellas. But these were jam up. I have the footage for the Miso and trying to put the video put together. Let me know how leaving the stems on work for you!

Coming your way! Working on it now

Always have to try something new! This was pretty cool to see. I hope you get to try something , its pretty exciting to see that first flush. I'm gonna do a miso video and probably do another inoculation video. Happy mushrooming!

Hey Metal! Happy New Year and thank you! I'm glad you liked it, I'm trying to make them fun to watch and hopefully share some knowledge that helps someone. Miso is on it's way, have a great week!

Miso it is, I'm working on it this week! I have it shot just have to piece it together.

Hey Papa! Hurry up and get it ordered and get it i your logs. This has been cool even though they're not producing big yields like my shiitakes will sometimes. I'm fascinated with them. Best of luck with it, get some of the peppers to help, it'll be fun. Thanks for the compliment, I've been having a lot of fun editing lately so I'm glad you got some use out of it. I haven't been over and checked yall out in a minute, been behind on my on TH-cam watching, but I got to check in soon. Happy growing Papa!

Definitely a lot of cool research going out there and I think there's amazing potential. Thanks for hanging out!

For sure, get out there and do it! It takes a little work to stay safe but it's totally worth it. Thanks, Peace!

You're welcome, I hope you get some use out of it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I checked out a few of your videos today, you're knowledgeable about the fungi. I'm going to keep watching, I like how you're laying the videos out. If I was a little closer I would be bugging you to go hunting and show me some things. I think the reason my video got pulled is because I used the word psychedelic in the title and then appeared to eat the mushroom. I feel like the censorship surrounding psychoactive mushrooms and cannabis is outdated but I know that's how it is at the moment. Thanks for hanging out and love your channel!

​@@paxtianodirtfrog8947 Cool, thanks! Glad to hear it and glad you took the time to repost and share this video.

I'm still on the hunt! I pass by a bunch every fall that are likely them. If I can get someone to show me in person I would have the confidence I think.

"The Complete mushroom Hunter" is a book that I have that talks about it in more detail but what I really want is a real person expert to show me some of the different mushrooms. The spore prints are like works of art!

Agreed! Suitable for framing!

Exactly, better safe than sorry. I would really like to have someone who knows there stuff show me one on one the real honey mushroom so I could confidently harvest them. I'm pretty sure I pass up many, many pounds of honey's every year because of the uncertainty.

Thanks! Yeah, I was surprised but at the same time I was a little hesitant to put this up even though it was with good intentions.

@paxtianodirtfrog8947 Yeah, I understand 👍

Yeah, it was pretty exciting when I started down the check list in the field guide. I still would like a mycologist or someone with knowledge of the mushroom to give me a definitive ID on these things. I think fungus is the coolest Kingdom of them all.

I did too. I was just showing Mugwort and Stinging Nettles.

@theunclejezusshow8260 man, Stinging Nettle is an alltime favorite of mine.

@@PapaPepper Same here and Japanese Knotweed

Oh yeah, you too? I'd like to hear about that one day. I totally get what happened here when I went back to look. I never ingested the thing but I did hold it right up to my nose and take a huge sniff so it probably looks like I stuck it in my mouth to an AI software. It would be obvious to you or me or any other human that I didn't but it is what it is. I'm cool with it.

No stinging nettle or mugwort for you sir! That aggravates me, my deal was a misunderstanding but in your case I think that is probably straight up censorship. We don't want anyone learning about those natural medicines now do we?

"I done warned you boys about snortin them damn shrooms!" screamed old man YT as he waved his walking stick wildly about in the air.

Yep, I agree! I think we probably don't know the half of it about fungi has to offer us yet.

Thanks for the compliment, I never know if I'm making the point I'm trying to. I would like to see more of us pick up skill sets that lend us to this train of thought.

Thanks! Their persimmons really are perfect in most ways and they do absolutely nothing but harvest them as far as I know. Not as big as the ones in whole food but I don't care. Persimmons will probably be the first tree I ever stick in the ground. Arkansas=Bugs for sure. It was a good mushroom day and I was grateful. Yeah I feel like most people have some extra something that probably be passed a long. If I ever get a farm like yours going I would like to try some bartering here and there for some things on the side. Seed catalogues are coming in now and making me miss my garden btw.

Thanks! I was super grateful for the whole haul and got a lot of use from them. I do wished I could have found those chickens in their prime though but that's how it goes with the mushrooms!

Thanks Metal! I'm trying to keep it real, glad you liked it. Have a great weekend man!

Thanks! This was a fortunate bunch of finds, the next hunt was zero and I was cool with it. I do hope that the videos have a chillaxed feel to them. I'm just using the stock music off of Power Director, that's the editing software I'm using, Some are copyrighted but approved for TH-cam use but most are not. I'm not monetized right now so I'm not worried about that at the moment. But it is something to keep in mind. They have a ton of music, I wished they had more instrumental acoustic music on there.

I love the persimmons. We have the wild persimmons here but it's a fast race with the wildlife when they finally ripen. The Asian persimmons aren't as sweet probably but the non astringent part is really helpful and gives you a crazy long harvest window. I would like to eventually grow the American and different Asian ones. Apparently not all of the Asian one's are non astringent but the all seem way bigger. Yeah, those kind of relationships just seem healthy, I feel like we could use all of that we can get.

Thanks a bunch! I see them but they're usually pretty funky when I do. I find a lot more of the lion's mane here.

I think it's the most I ever found in one day. I just got done cooking a big batch of soup with a lot of the puffballs. I wish they were more spread out over the season because I finally had to stop picking them. They actually have a marshmallow texture sometimes. The season is on, Thanks!

Thanks, they tasted good too! I do think the comb tooths are one of the coolest looking ones yet.

Thanks Metal! This did my mind and soul some good. I have some more mushroom videos coming your way, that's all I've been doing lately

Greetingz cuzinz. Good finds. Ending up with a drought since July. Chicken of the Woods was hardy and saved the season for us

Some of the first ones I have ever found had that happen here in central Arkansas. It gets so hot and dry here. But I found this one in late November or maybe even early December. I've been checking that sight every week when possible. I have yet to find the morels but I sure want to! Best of luck finding your's!

Interesting, it may not be the mushroom for you then. I love the lions but I'm hit and miss with cooking them right. I'm not much of a cook and I will eat almost anything

Thanks! I try to use cool stuff when I edit. I don't remember the names of any of the songs but I'm using Power Director to edit and they have a pretty decent collection of music to use.

I wish you had of been around, I would like to see if it met the Vegan seal of approval! It really did add that "something" to whatever and was super filling. I love finding those butt cracks too, I've been lucky to find some nice specimens of some killer mushrooms now and again. Yeah the hens are native to the eastern half of the country it seems and I'm not sure if the same species is native in Asia too or if they just absolutely fell in love with it over there and started culturing it like crazy.

Hopefully I can start finding them again soon this season. Thanks man!

Thanks Metal! I'm not sure if they're up in NW but I was starting to think that they weren't in our swampy area but started finding a couple ruined ones around. This one was right under my nose and I keep checking that tree. I think your chanterelle situation crushes ours but I did see one of the most awesome flushes in Little Rock area this year. Some looked as big as my fist but I didn't harvest them because they were on the trail in the park (kinda against the rules there I think)

That's awesome, yall must have got it right! I haven't found much of anything going into the fall just yet but feeling optimistic about today. I'm going later. I thought about you about a month ago, saw a sign that mentioned the C & O trail, didn't realize I was even in Maryland. Didn't you tell me once you were in the neighborhood of that trail?

@paxtianodirtfrog8947 that's correct! I live in Montgomery County, and hit the C&O often, it's a great park to have so close to home.

Thanks! I still find chickens here too!

Really?! that is so cool, are they wild there?

​@@paxtianodirtfrog8947 they grow on the side of the road where I live in California.

@@911dips5 Another viewer told me the same thing and I would sure love to see it. Hope you do well with the planted ones!

I love the lion's mane but I don't always get it right when I cook them. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I try to keep it real. Especially with the mushrooms because I want everyone to be safe.

It is, I've been thinking of doing another video about those things. It has it's place though and is fun.

I want to try this again with some really fresh ones.

This has got to be one of the prettiest things I find in the woods. I'm glad you liked it!
