My name is Kitty Kanhoffen, I am a teacher as well as an outdoor enthusiast. My passion for the outdoors first started when I was introduced to fishing through my husband Daniel in 2012 and it expanded quickly when I began co-hosting on Fishing with Rod. The curiosity did not kill this Kitty, but has only furthered my passion beyond fishing, which now includes foraging and hiking in British Columbia, Canada.
On this channel, you will find a collection of videos which document my adventures, discoveries, successes and mistakes. My videos include fishing, mushroom hunting and hiking. Thanks for stopping by and please subscribe! 🎣🍄🏔

Thank you everyone for watching! I hope this inspires you to get outdoors to forage. Here on Vancouver Island I am hoping for a couple more weekends of fall flushes!
Now more than ever! Thanks for the video and the live stream👍
@@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 Thanks for joining Rod and I. I was sad though, I didn't mean to get kicked out at the end. Next time I'll have to pause the video so it doesn't move on to the next. Stay safe out there, and send me pics when you struck gold (Chanterelles or heavy nuggets)!
@@KittyKanhoffen don't worry about any of that, it's just great to get such detailed information on foraging in the area. I'm well versed on the eastern and southern US but the PNW is where I'm really looking to spend my life. Having fantastic instructors like crew you have assembled together really helps to learn the fine points of fishing and foraging in BC. I do need to get a few books on mycology.
Any titles you think are the most beneficial would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for an amazing set of videos. Chris.

All That the Rain Promises and More is by far my favourite. Super easy to understand and the information is chunked up nicely throughout the book. Do not be turn away because of the cover! This will teach you about pnw mushroom diversity.

Excellent little field guild that you can roll up in your pocket and gives you the info you need for the most choice mushrooms in the PNW and many of the ones you should be concerned with.
Great that you pin the comment with the location.
You and Rodney make a lovely couple. Congratulations and thanks for the video.
A recent study says mushrooms may have evolved on earth between 715 and 810 million years ago. Here in NW Indiana, Morels and chicken of the woods are a special delight.
The two species you names are both an awesome time to forage for and eat! Chicken tastes pretty sweet alone, but I am still trying to search for new recipes. Got any?
I'd say boil some egg noodles. Saute your mushrooms in butter, with fresh minced garlic and maybe some sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked egg noodles to the cooking mushrooms maybe with a tablespoon of the water from the noodles. I would put shredded parm and mozzarella until I got the consistency that I liked. Serve it in a bowel and gnarish with fresh parsley.
Foraging has always been at the foundation of any culture. Amazing to see the variety that grow there. Great Video.
Thank you Frank, stay tuned for one last foraging episode this season... Tomorrow we will be releasing a video that features finding and cooking Pine mushrooms. Cheers!
I love fishing and I love foraging mushrooms. Good thing I live in the PNW!!! You inspired me and now I am hooked on foraging mushrooms. You mentioned it in some of the vids. I studied. And found some of the best mushroom spots remote along side my fav steelhead creek. Keep the vids flowing. ~peace. p.s. that pizza looked great!
You get an A+ from this teacher! Hopefully these videos come off as educational as well as give individuals a solid starting point. Nice work on discovering your own patch by your favourite Steelhead flow. (That's how we started too.) Happy Hunting and thanks for stopping by!! :)
it's been years since I've watched your videos. just getting into mushrooms.
This has been EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you!
Awesome video thank you
You are most welcome. Thank you for enjoying our work.
Your foraging videos are awesome!! We hope you post more:) Locations, time of year etc etc - would love to know more. Thanks!
Chanterelle mushrooms are so delicious! I went foraging a few weeks ago but all the chanterelles were frozen.
Good luck this weekend, I am sure there are still some around!
In the colder months you can forage a chanterelle cousin, yellow feet! Craterellus tubaeformis! Those are my fave. Spring it's morels, fall it's chantrelle/prochini/lions mane/etc., and winter it's yellow feet!. I haven't found a good summer mushroom. So in summer months I grow oysters indoors.
U guys make a great team....i enjoyed the video!
Yayayaya🤪 aaaw best fishing buddy~ 😎☺️😄
6:28 was not expecting that at all hahahaa I actually said out loud "woooahhh' thats alot of mushrooms hahaha 😆 and the colors of the mushrooms are just spectacular 😄
Nature is pretty amazing! Sometimes we have stumbled upon an entire decayed log covered in such dense clusters you can hardly see the log itself! Thanks for sharing your reaction! 😁
This was an awesome video! Please do more these in the future when the seasonal weather permits. Also maybe go in depth on preparation on cooking etc. too? Would love to know the different recipes you do! Thanks & Peace!
Pizza looks delicious with the just picked mushrooms!!! 😋
Nice I like the pizza it looks great 👌 you and rod are always full of info that is why I love watching the two of you thanks so ❤️
We try hard to inspire and educate, thanks for supporting the two of is Bill. 😃
Thanks for being so informative this looks like so much fun
Thanks Keeg Hess. Have you gone out much this season?
@@KittyKanhoffen no, but I'm inspired to find more edibles locally. I was lucky enough to find some morels on our property a few years back and my neighbors this year gave me a bunch of dried chanterelles. Now I really want to find some myself, wether it's more morels or my first chanterelles
Headed out this weekend on Vancouver Island. Hopefully I find something!
I love mushrooms. Rick.
What are your favourite to pick and why?
@@KittyKanhoffen I live in Ontario, near Peterborough. I've played in the outdoors all my life. I'm 67 now and can't get out like I used to. Hunting and fishing are mostly just memories now. I never learned to identify edible mushrooms so I just leave the wild ones alone. Store bought is mostly all I get. However, in the spring, I get a big feed or two of morels from my back yard. Rick.
@@rickoncordova1 Well next time you are out for a walk in your neighbourhood, keep an eye out... I think you will be surprised how they are all around us! Stay safe Rick and thank you for dropping by, keeping an open mind to learn new things! 😊
@@KittyKanhoffen Thank you. I will. Rick.
Incredible video you guys love the B role there amazing and foraging is one of my favorite thing to do during the fall season but never picked mushrooms only Berry's thanks so much for sharing much love and support
Thanks Ethan for dropping by. 😊
Wow! I never seen before so much Mushrooms
Nice!!!
It is neat to actually spot them yourself in the forest. For example, walking over a duffy floor and having a Lobster catch your eye gets my blood pumping every time!!
That true
Thank you for sharing this video and the cooking, I’m your new subscriber and will learn even more about mushrooms now yay 😀 🍄
This is a great video! You describe Chanterelle's just like I do. They have ridges and not gills! Nice job :) Looking forward to watching more of your videos
I really enjoyed this video. So far I've been huckleberry picking in Washington state, Morel hunting last spring and found my first Chanterelle this year. Foraging is fun and healthy thanks for sharing tips with us.
whatta cutie
Another awesome video! Pizza looked delicious!
Next time I see you we're having a pizza feast, an iphone lesson, while hiking up Elk and listening to Luke Bryan. Okay? 😁
Maybe a little bit of Luke Combs too though! Hopefully we’re having a slice of pizza like that with chicken, extra mushrooms, but no pandemic please! I’m allergic! Maybe there will still be snow up Elk by the time we can all hang out again!
I've lived in this 'neck of the woods' for over forty years now. I guess it's time to learn how to forage my own mushrooms.
Just found your channel. Excellent production quality and very helpful information. Instant-sub!
Thank you, Kitty, for the informative video! I live in Anacortes, Washington and haven't had much luck finding Chanterelles in the local forests...usually, only finding a handful per outing. I plan to head east this week to the foothills of Mt. Baker to see if I can be more successful! Thank you again!
Those armarilla are probably the best tasting mushrooms out of all of the ones you found tbh.
Great video!
Great video. I love the content, but also the videography and framing. That aerial shot was really well placed. Oh, and that pizza looks amazing!
I love your videos and passion. I’m just waiting for the day more people find these videos and your channel explodes. Watching from outback Australia at the moment where it’s 45 degrees and nothing green exists. Seeing a Forest like that is stunning
Where about in OZ? 45 already in mid November... I miss the dry heat down under!
@@FishingwithRod When we going?
Thank you for the compliment. I am very appreciative that you enjoy them so much. Stay safe down there! Fingers crossed for a big BOOM! 🤞😂
@@FishingwithRod I work around Cobar NSW
@@KittyKanhoffen Ask Covid... 😂 Within the next four years, before or when my next high school reunion happens. 😄
This week has been awesome here in Idaho for mushrooms! I was basically walking on a blanket of mushrooms. I've never seen so many.
I’m in the panhandle and need to make my way out.
Nicely done beautiful chanterelle
Thank you, Rodney did a bang up job publishing this adventure! :)
Kitty, I love your approach to mushrooms. i will follow you. And today I found my very first lobster mushroom. The smell freaked me out. But I will try it. I am a committed bolete picker so anything new is great. Your overview on chanterelles taught me a lot of new stuff.
Hey Kathy! Sorry for the late reply. Did you ever try the Lobster you picked last week? How was it? Boletes are a species that we are still trying to figure out... Two/three years ago we stumbled upon an insane KING patch, and I mean insane. They were everywhere and beefy. We have gone back to it throughout the summer, but have never seen the same numbers or really any for that matter again... Strange. Any tips for finding Kings?
@@KittyKanhoffen Finding Kings is an adventure. Its never the same. I have found them in the thickest blueberry bushes on Cypress Bowl. Never again. Found some beauties in a swampy bush on top of Seymour mountain, twice in two yrs, then never again. Stumbled on some beauties on a golf course near the edge of a fairway, then never again. They like waterlogged heavy thick bush full of old logs. Not easy. That Lobster was too old and stinky to eat. 😀😃
@@kstivin Whhhaattt that is so crazy! Yes, exactly what you are saying is what we have experienced. We have seen them in different spots once and usually we are a little late so we leave thinking we will beat the bugs next season by arriving early. The mushrooms though never ended up flushing. So bizarre!
3:36 BULLCRAP! YES it does!
Nice video Kitty! We didn't have a great year for Chant's or Matsu's here on the Westshore, outside Victoria. What Chant's were found were very slug chewed. We get mostly white Chant's here. Last year was gang busters for both Chant's and Matsu's. I still have 4 lrg zip bags of Matsu's in the freezer from last year. (And yes, they can be frozen raw using the Japanese way) Found a few this year, but again, not a great year.
We did get a Cauliflower this year, which my wife is always on the look out for. Makes for an awesome mushroom soup!
Tons of Lobsters this year. Just not a huge fan of them. OK to make a cream soup base with. Apparently they are good in a tomato based soup too.
Love to see you do more shrooming vid's. And definitely get Pauly out! He lives not far from me. Just watched his vid, finding his biggest nugget. :)
Cheers!
Man, I really miss doing this!
There are mushrooms around! We managed to get our mushroom fix this past week. During the summer months we always hit areas near the coastline, in hopes of fog flushes. Inland is better after a rain. Happy foraging!
Awesome
Nice video! I love mushrooms :) Watch it with the uptalk habit though :)
Hello are you looking to purchase mushrooms or any psychedelic
I'll refer you to a farmer on Instagram where I got mine...
He ships discreetly
@ Mycovine.....💯💪🍄
wow you found the mother load of mushrooms, so many chanterelles and so lucky to find some many Lobsters, i dont think we have lobsters here in california but it's such a tasty mushroom. Oysters mushrooms should start to pop and boletus here during the winter. keep up the mushroom videos and Keep getting Ron out and do more mushroom foraging.
Sorry for the late reply. The one mushroom that you do have down there, that I WISH we had up here on VI is Lion's Mane. Now that is one cool shroom! Have you ever come across one? Thanks for tuning in, and I'll try to get Rod out more. The 2020 mushroom season is slowly wrapping up.
@@KittyKanhoffen that’s a mushroom that in now into 4 years of searching for it the hard to find Lion’s Mane. I would see people post up pictures and videos of what’s this? I’m watching like that’s a lion’s mane!!! It would be at a city park where I’m up in the mountains or at the forest by the coast. Hopefully next year I’ll get to pick one. But we do have a lot of Morels here in California and with all the fires lately there should be a crazy amount of morels next year. Love your channel!
Great clip Kitty ! But Im still nervous about foraging for them as I know how bad things can go if I ID’ed it wrong.
I was nervous too, baby steps. At the beginning for us, it was picking to learn. Lots of reading and exploring. Then once you become more confident, you can start picking to eat.
Nice job. I love growing mushrooms and foraging wild mushrooms. But I think its more fun to clone wild mushrooms.
That is something I’ve never tried doing before. My husband and I have considered growing oysters, and others once we have a property of our own. What do you recommend growing?
@@KittyKanhoffen wine caps make a great mushroom bed and they are the size of Portobello mushrooms.
That PIZZA looks like Da Bomb! BTW, are chanterelles available in the spring and summer? Google indicated so but I've always just found them in the fall?
Now I wanna go hunting.
IT ISN'T TOO LATE RICK (well that's depending on where you live lol). This weekend get out there, check low elevation spots with conifer forests (mix of Doug fir and Hemlock), with a mossy floor or duff. I am sure there will be something around.
Great video! I see your whereing Simms and I assume you are into fly fishing as well?
well it's about time😅
I wanna find lobsters. I don’t even like them that much but it’d be cool to find
Rod is the Sheldon Cooper of mycology. Book smart!! But that’s just with mushrooms.
😦
Did I miss something here?
@@KittyKanhoffen I thought you watch The Big Bang Theory. 😆
I had no idea those were chanterelle mushrooms, we see them often prospecting🙂
Use your gold pan as a basket!
@@KittyKanhoffen I will now, it’s editable gold😀
@@ANDYTHRAXX Another bonus, this type pf gold won't break your teeth when you bite into it. 😂
@@KittyKanhoffen hahaha true, candy Can be so hard.
Really great videos Kitty, you have the professional production down to an art.
I’m your experience, what is the ideal fall weather system 7 days leading up to a PNW chanterelle or wild mushroom hunt? You mentioned a cold snap. Also how can you tell if you’re hunting at the proper altitude?
Thanks you for putting together this educational content!
I really want to get into mushroom hunting. I live in Vancouver and thought that it'd be very fun. Even to go with friends. So thanks for the video!!
Get guidelines from a mate on Instagram....
@mycovine...
He sells and ships ....
Take me mushroom picking with you Kitty
I've got to try a pizza with several species of mushrooms on it now!
Daniel is a sucker for Boston Pizza's Tropical Chicken Pizza, so I tried to copy the recipe. Homemade dough, Alfredo sauce, Havarti cheese, pineapple (yes pineapple is a must), bacon, chicken breast covered in buffalo sauce, Chanterelles, and voila!!
@@KittyKanhoffen I'll add Maitake also to add a little texture. Thanks for the idea!
@@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 fat-of-the-land.blogspot.com/2008/10/pining-for-pines.html GREAT Matsutake recipe!
@@KittyKanhoffen Thank You! It was Great!!
I like mushrooms but I don't like being poisoned. I don't trust my own judgement so I'll leave it to you professionals 😂👍🏻⚒🏴 look after my mate Pauly 😘
There are lots of mushrooms on my claims right now, I'd love to have you as a guide!
I'd love to join! 😁😁😁
Unfortunately there is a bit of a ban on who we can visit right meow. After Covid laws lift, wanna chat?
@@KittyKanhoffen For sure, whenever you're comfortable. Mining is an essential service, and they say we are allowed to go for a walk with a friend, so I'm sure we're fine! :)
Are bears something that you guys have in the back of your mind when foraging or are the bears hibernating or preparing to?
I've had a terrible time discerning between Jack-o- lanterns and chantrelles. I have inconsistent victories with boletes and hedgehog mushrooms. I think I need to find a guide.
th-cam.com/video/9aOwgaIFKMY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=LearnYourLand
I have attached a video that you may find helpful Jonathan.
I too feel your pain. It took me a while to be able to identify them both from a distance, but once you have seen them enough you'll be able to do it. For me the Jacks are a slightly different orange, more orange/pink. Whereas the Chaterelles are gold. As for the boletes, they are a shroom I'm still trying to nail down myself. We don't target the Admirables, but find them on downed hemlock while looking for Chanterelles. Porcini I can't help you with since we haven't figured them out either. We were going to take the time to look for them while hiking around in the valley (they love high elevation), but we never came across one. :/ Keep searching, it took us a couple years of exploring new ground and even revisiting it multiple times in the fall to understand flush times.
Cheers and thanks for watching!
Hi Guys , where can I pick up mushrooms near Vancouver? May be in North Vancouver , Chilliwack?
Hey Kitty, I just moved to Squamish, do you know anyone I can go picking with? Awesome videos, thank you for sharing.
Is foraging in December any good?
What are "buttons"? Are they young mushrooms?
I have the schooling I'm a master picker😅
Are there any mushrooms with contraceptive properties?
🙌🏽
I’m to afraid to try any other mushrooms from the forest other than pine and chanterelles
And there is nothing wrong with that. Stick to what you are comfortable with. I took baby steps when I first got into harvesting wild foods.
How do you prepare lobsters? I've found them before but didn't bother collecting them
Just light fry with bacon, easy and delicious. I guarantee it flying out of the dish in second.
@@tomzeng5610 Thanks for sharing your way of preparing them Tom! I too am always looking for new methods. Rock on!
Tom's idea would be worth a shot, I have cooked them in butter and added them to an seafood Alfredo dish. (Prawns, Lobster Mushrooms, Sauce-Garlic, Fresh Parm, Heavy Cream, Salt and Pepper, and Fresh Pasta).
Aren't you just a bundle of cute.
Great video. Why don't you eat apricots?
Pardon?
@@KittyKanhoffen At 5:13, you said you don't eat apricots.
Why you carry "heavy duty" bushcraft knives that can cut a tree, but no brush to clean the mushrooms?
My. Hunny loves pine mushroom picking :) he goes to Skagit & bbar. I have never been able. To go out with him the 9 yrs we been together he goes every season & I am always pregnant or have a small baby lol so I am. So interested in how he finds them & get him. To make. Videos and I posted a few on my channel if u wanna see them :)
We have wanted to check out Boston Bar every year, but we always get so caught up in our old spots on the mainland or new ones on the island that we never make it out that way.
4:15 Why not?
Taste and the texture is the same.
Maybe it is a culture difference or maybe the canterelles are not the same in America and Europe.
Wear a orange vest
🇬🇷❤️🇬🇷
Invite Pauly on a mushroom trip!
I did!! We were going to try this fall, but both our October schedules were pretty busy. Now unfortunately with Covid-19 rules, it looks like we will have to wait until next fall to find edible gold! Thanks for watching!
@@KittyKanhoffen I’m in the Northwest, I want to try that pizza! 😍
@@skoitch Homemade dough, Alferdo sauce, pineapples (a must), chicken breast fried in buffalo sauce, bacon (sometimes I cook it in a honey garlic sauce, Golden Chanterelles, and Havarti cheese. BOOM!
@@KittyKanhoffen yes please! I’d like to place an order for one of those! 😁
Why don’t you eat apricots?
Waaa, you guys ignored so much Honey, my favorite mushhhh.
I have never eaten them, I have heard that like Chicken of the Woods they can cause gastrointestinal distress.
Kitty, you're cute as a button, no wonder someone has already come along and "picked you" as you can clearly see defined by the diamond studded "ridges" at 5:40 😏
watch out there's a bear behind you
My sniffer must be broken. I don't detect any seafood aroma in lobster mushrooms at all. They don't smell any different to me than the host mushroom, which isn't appealing, so I've never tried one. Does the seafood flavour come out when you cook them? Would the seafood flavour be stronger closer to the surface where the coating of red mold is? Like, should I just trim off the outer parts to cook and discard the interior of the mushroom?
Also, aren't you worried about ripping a hole in your waders walking through all the twigs and branches?
PLEASE LEAVE SOME FOR THE SASQUATCH TO EAT...
Sasquatch story please, I know you have one or two...please share it, don’t be scared
Didnt say what mushrooms you cook with⋯
I used some of the golden chanterelles we picked that day, as well as some dried ones from the previous season.
This was really cool but I kept expecting you to whip a fly rod out and fish a creek since you’re both wearing waders!😁🎣 🍄
Camille... That's in the next video on Monday lol. 😉
@@FishingwithRod Ohhh can’t wait!👍👍
Waders keep us dry in the fall and in the summer safe from wasps/bees nests.
@@KittyKanhoffen That makes sense!
Bi kitty give me some pizza please iam sure Otis delicious
It’s my version of Boston Pizza’s “Tropical Chicken!” I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@@KittyKanhoffen i love it
@@KittyKanhoffen I love it
Wild mushrooms are HEAVILY regulated. Most everywhere in PNW permits are required... Even for personal use. Many areas ALL picking is ILLEGAL. That basket of shrooms can get you a $5,000 ticket if you get caught
I suggest that you familiarize yourself on the legality of mushroom foraging in BC before spewing out misinformation on someone else's platform.
WE'RE IN CANADA...DOOFUS !
Aren't you encouraging people to strip the forests of mushrooms?
such a small thing, but her nail polish was distracting ... and a juxtaposition.
Hi Guys , where can I pick up mushrooms near Vancouver? May be in North Vancouver , Chilliwack?
I am sorry I am not too familiar with out there. 😢
