Going through and watching all your older videos that I haven't seen. You have such a talent for this! So excited for everyone of your videos, but cannot wait until the fall, which is by far my favorite time of the year. Keep up the fantastic work!!!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback - really appreciate that! And with the recent summer Chanterelle flush, I was just thinking about how excited I already am for all that comes with the Fall season! I'm totally with you on that - easily my favorite time of year!
Yay a new video! Yesterday was the first day of spring here in California, almost 70°! I was hiking after work and found some mini oysters, they seemed to have aborted based on how dry they felt, I took them home to spore print either way, they had a cool morphology. Cheers!
Nice! I love seeing those first few oyster mushrooms poking out! Will be interesting to see how the fruiting that I have an eye on up here in Western WA fares with freezing temps in forecast. Love being able to harvest a few before the bugs get at them! PS - can you send some of that 70° weather up here?
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying it! I really appreciate you tuning in and can't wait to get the next video out your way. Stay tuned, and Happy Trails!
As a family, Sarcosomataceae drives me crazy to ID here. Urnula padeniana also occurs in the pacific northwest, in early spring, and is a dark brown/black cup fungus with tomentose exterior just to have another genus in the possible mix.
Thanks for another excellent point - really appreciate your insights on this and you are exactly right. I think it may be time to pull the microscope out! Looks like Urnula padeniana also has elliptical spores and certainly could be a contender. I am tripping over these every time I'm out in the woods the past couple weeks...and I can't help but think that I could even likely be encountering more than one species in a single day. Do you find that you tend to bump into one of these species more than the other in your PNW excursions?
@@MushroomTrail It's definitely possible possible to bump into more than one species in a trip, they like the same habitats and conditions. Checking MushroomObserver and iNaturalist, Plectania milleri seems to be significantly more rare than the others in Washington.
Thanks! I'm located in Western WA ... home base is near the Puget Sound at lower elevations, but I also love exploring the foothills and mountains of the Cascades. Appreciate you tuning in!
Good question - I totally should have! I think I was too excited about that Honeycomb Coral Slime Mold😂 Next time I'll make sure to get a better shot of those owl pellets ... no doubt I will come across more soon. Thanks for tuning in, and Happy Trails!
That's a great question! Even though there are some regional differences, there is a ton of overlap between the mushroom species I encounter here in Western WA and what you'll see in Northeast Connecticut. We're at similar lines of latitude and lots of these mushrooms are found all over the world. One of the biggest differences may actually come down to tree associations (plenty of different tree species between here and there). But a LOT of the mushrooms that I've been noting in recent videos here are also found in CT, like: Turkey Tail, False Turkey Tail, Dyer's Polypore, Witches' Butter, Artist's Conk, Oyster Mushrooms, Puffballs, Morels, etc. Thanks for tuning in! And Happy Trails!
@@MushroomTrailfrom what I’ve researched I have recognized a ton of the same or similar species, but definitely different vegetation and trees and the associations are definitely different. I’m very grateful for your verification. I’m definitely eager to learn what the same mushrooms like to associate with here where I live version where you live.

Really enjoyed this mushroom walk! The enoki are really beautiful!
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it! And, I agree, the Enoki really is a beautiful mushroom!
super good video!
Thank you! I appreciate you tuning in! More to come soon!

Great vid over all! Keep it coming!
Thanks! Will do! Appreciate you tuning in!
Great content, very informative. Thank you
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying it! I really appreciate you tuning in and can't wait to get the next video out your way. Stay tuned, and Happy Trails!
I like your soft voice
Thanks! The forest is such a relaxing place to spend some time ... I hope the narration matches that more often than not! Appreciate you tuning in!
Another video already? Geez, this guy's more prolific than Fomitopsis mounceae.😂😂
Haha! That is a high compliment😂 Thanks! And appreciate you tuning in!

Thanks! Very interesting ... I'll keep you posted once I get the microscope reporting back to duty. Always appreciate your insights!
Great quality content. What area of the PNW are you in?
Thanks! I'm located in Western WA ... home base is near the Puget Sound at lower elevations, but I also love exploring the foothills and mountains of the Cascades.
Appreciate you tuning in!
Why did you not show the owl pellet? We all love nature!
Good question - I totally should have! I think I was too excited about that Honeycomb Coral Slime Mold😂
Next time I'll make sure to get a better shot of those owl pellets ... no doubt I will come across more soon. Thanks for tuning in, and Happy Trails!
Just uploaded a new video and tried to make up for that missed owl pellet opportunity last week! I think you'll like it!
How similar is this environment to that of a forest in Northeast Connecticut? Would I see the same mushrooms?
