I've been looking for this type of content most of the day, and nothing has come close. Thank you for your very descriptive and helpful video, I'm excited to start foraging. Today was my first day and found some oysters a few hundred yards from my house. Looking forward to finding some chanterelle's and black trumpets in the coming weeks!!!
forest i like to pick mushrooms from has a lot of variations of forest floor types. and black trumpets grow around areas where there are cantarels but almost every time i have found black trumpets they have been on/or near by animal trails on packed earth and they taste very good
I would like to add that it's important to tell people not to harvest everything they find in the wild, but to leave a lot behind so they can regrow more for next year.
I just recently found out that oyster mushrooms grow wild along the river i live by, been foraging for them for a couple weeks now, just found a little over 2 lbs today.😁
Thanks for the interesting video. I order Shiitake spawn from you. I'm jealous because I live in Hawaii and we do not have wild edible mushrooms, or they are very rare.
funny how any look-a-likes websites for chanterelles typically only list jack-o-lanterns, and not the scaly vase, and yet the scaly vase would seem to be more readily confused for a chanterelle.
awesome video ! how has the weather been there & when was the last time it rained before you went out to forage in this video ? I am about 700 - 800 km west of you in Ontario canada on the north west end of lake ontario & would love to get out & find some of these Thanks
This footage is from last year and it was an epic year. It began raining at the beginning of July and rained a ton from there on. It usually takes these mushrooms maybe 2-4 days to respond to the rain.
@@NorthSpore thanks, it hasn't rained here in weeks, we got rain yesterday & it evaporated before it hit the ground. i have found one single rube bolete & a few artist's conks all year. I hope it rains soon
Question: I have found what appears to be black trumpet mushrooms however they also appear to have gills at the bottom and they don’t seem to be as cupped or trumpet shaped at the top. It’s rounded and curvy but solid black. It is hollow when cut but I just want to make sure. Would there be any black mushrooms that are poisonous that are look-alikes?

One of my favorites dried black trumpets powdered and mixed in flour little salt and pepper good on fish steak and chicken
I still have some dried black trumpets that you just reminded me I need to use.
The yellow foot is a good size in your region.
I would love to see more foraging content 😍
Agreed!
Maine hasn't had a great year at all for foraging, but I promise we'll get more of this kind of thing out there soon!
@@NorthSpore You can't rush greatness. Ill be here when the video drops haha
Thanks for sharing this Sir 🍄🍄👍

By the time you cut/pluck fungi, they've already let out millions of spores. You picking a mushroom is no different than picking an apple off a tree.
my forest is so dry...hopefully some rain coming! great video, as always...thanks
Rain is the best!

Very cool!

Spread the spores, make em wild. Invasive fungus isn’t a terrible thing, depending.
Great vid,do black trumpet add hedgehog mushrooms grow on Vancouver Island in BC Canada, thank you
The one you referred to as "hedgehog" usually grow around the base of a tree in what is called a witches circle.
Good one!

I didn't know black trumpets where edible. I know a spot and ima go foraging with thie kids today.
where the puck are you located in this foraging?
Can you live off wild mushrooms?
Yeah but only when it's mushroom season. Here in catalonia people go a full week to the mountains with an RV and make pretty good money

Hello 👋 gtsy
Lol... No the Hydnum aren't "relatives to chantarelles" ?!
Not that close, but closer than you might think. Both are in the order Cantharellales.
