i looove watching you pick them, i would honestly watch just a compilation of you picking/cutting them off trees, it's so satisfying. new mushroom asmr
I live in Kansas and I'm pretty familiar with the plants that grow in my neck of the woods but I'm new (and a little intimidated) to the idea of mushroom identification. Awesome video!
awesome, glad you like the video! I can totally understand hesitation, but honestly if you have a local mycological society (if they are even doing them now) going on a few forays can be immensly helpful :)
Thanks for the video, anise smells like black licorice or even like a strongly flavored sweet Italian sausage (meaning it would have a lot of anise in it).
I've been watching a lot of Tony's videos lately. I've been trying to grow Lionsmane outdoors and have a nice flush of oysters emerging , so , here I am. Never had them but anxious to give them a try. I've been a forager of medicinals for years now and try to add some new shrooms to my list each year. Thanks to freshcaps for great info.
For some reason TH-cam threw up to me this much earlier video, of FreshCap Tony and Teagan and what a delight to watch the earlier times and how humble it began and still remains. Awesome content always even back then, even if Teagan did do the cooking Tony LOL! It's still a thumbs up from us all :) Mush Love, as with Mush Loves, comes Mush Re-Spore-Ability! ;)
I've become a big fan of your channel, really relaxing/down to earth videos man, got interested in growing mushrooms through Southwest Mushrooms, but you give some really good advice on how to start small and some good ideas there, and ofc also like foraging in the woods. Thanks man. Have a good day ay!
Fun video, thank you! Fennel or dill have also similar smell... Or Greek Ouzo!!! The licorice plant is an herbaceous perennial native to southern Europe and parts of Asia, such as India. It is not botanically related to anise, star anise, or fennel, which have though similar flavoring.
Love all your videos….thank you for sharing all your great knowledge. I love love the music in this one and the others…… still am working on watching them all.
Latin pronunciation rules say the correct way to say it is /krep -IH-duh-tus/. Also, Anise smells like licorice. Hope that’s helpful! Love your channel! Found you from TikTok.
Bugs can be rinsed off and flushed out of the gills with running water. I would've still eaten some of the ones you threw away 😭 cook them into butter and strain it off, PRESTO! oyster mushroom flavored butter! I been puckung these for years, have never found one that smelled anything like anise 😅. They have a strong savory mushroom smell. Bon appetit though man they're so good.... add some fresh garlic to that butter first 😉👍
At which point do the mushrooms release its spores? I have oyster mushrooms growing on a dead tree in my backyard and want them to keep "coming back"... Do I have to leave some on the bark or can I harvest all of them?
When I was a kid my family would always eat the buggy mushrooms tbh (unless they're ultra buggy and all mushy already), I normally just leave the shrooms in water for a while and all the worms crawl out. But hey, it's not harmful to eat the creepy crawlies anyway, I think. Or is it?.. lol
I thought the same thing 😱 kudzu looks very similar to poison ivy though, and I'm sure lots of other plants are lookalikes. My general rule while hiking or foraging is to just stay far away from anything that looks remotely close to it
What time of the year is this, where I live if theres green leaves on the trees the skeeters will eat you alive before you even have a chance to look for mushrooms.
In a few wild mushroom recipe vids i watched they recommend to cook the mushroom dry until a lot of the moisture is zapped otherwise they can be quite chewy.. would you do the same with the oysters or does it not matter?
If you think of mycelium as crystals, wouldn't concentrates be able to recrystalize into mycelium? I know dead, dry, decomposing tissues come back to life with ease. I'm sure about concentrates.
Been hunting mushrooms for the better part of 25 years and I don't often see this kind of fruiting. Pleurotus mushrooms (like all other decomposers) prefer to grow on the side of a log rather than on top, as this is what allows them to sporinate properly, I'm pretty positive you just innoculated a log with spores.
All mushrooms have worms/larvea, even the home -grown/cultivated ones. If the mushroom is not degraded/rotten, you can eat them without a problem. Just soak them in water with salt and vinegar for about 5-10 minutes and boil them, depending on the type of mushroom anywehere between 5-20 minutes. All worms will die and come out.
Merci! je partage sur FACEBOOK.COM culture de pleurotes en ville. Les "bugs" signalés vers 8:58 me semblent les larves de TIPULES sortes de grands moustiques qui ont des larves coriaces à têtes noires. je mange ces champignons crus avec un peu de salade et rarement des tomates. C'est encore le moment de trouver ces champis jusqu'en Août. Promenades avec des amis merveilleuses. Je vous souhaite à vous deux le meilleur des promenades au petit matin!
It may be gross to you, but I encourage you to recognize that those maggots have likely only eaten the mushroom you're wanting to eat. If you didn't see them you'd never know.
Tony's charisma and the amount of love he and his wife put in these videos really makes this the best mushroom channel on TH-cam.
your comment really made my day!! thank you for the kind words :)

Great video. I didn't realize they sweated that much, I'm definitely going to bring a cloth bag next time I go hiking.
they really do! some are worse then others

this is great info, thanks! I will have to get some and figure it out lol

This man is really overestimating my ability to tell the difference between two mushrooms
this gave me a chuckle haha, but honestly, once you get started looking at mushrooms it gets easier and easier
Tell em, don’t let him gaslight you🤣

Loving the foraging videos.
glad you like them! will be plenty more :)

this video came in my recommendations for some reason, i enjoyed it~ :D
Just found these today can tell by smell. I grow them so happy to find.
It was always fun finding them in the woods all around Wisconsin

I've watched and thumbs-upped all your vids.
Very helpful to aid in identifying. Thank u! PS, your lady is very lovely!

Love your positive outlook for this is super info.cheers📢👍
you guys' videos are so amazing and informative
oh, I can just smell them through this video! lovely *_*
9:16 thinking you slick like we cant see you in the microwave hahah
Hahahah I laughed so hard at this.

ya, I am not sure lol, just feels weird to eat them
what is the shelf mushroom under time 4:20 to 4:27 great videos 👍👍👍🍄🍄🍄
We found some outside edmonton. A lot of worms in them but managed to get some trimmings to eat!
Great video, thanks!
thanks for wathcing!
Are these better than the cultivated variety in terms of taste, and nutritional value? Thanks!
I find these in my woodpile at home. Convenient because all I need to do is step out into the yard.
The ones I found here in Michigan are on dead shagbark hickorys.
Anise has a concentrated black licorice odor.
good to know!
Very nice! But that looked like some poison ivy you were screwing around with around 3:00 haha
good to know haha! I didn't notice any issues from it :)
I thought the same thing 😱 kudzu looks very similar to poison ivy though, and I'm sure lots of other plants are lookalikes. My general rule while hiking or foraging is to just stay far away from anything that looks remotely close to it
Looked like blackberry to me.

Awesome I picked some today
Love the show guys, keep um coming..🕉🙏🏽🕉..

Found a large haul of Oysters on a downed tree here in the Southeast US and they were fruiting all around the trunk including directly on top.
I love your content✌😎
What time of year do you find them?
Are those poisonous ivy or wild raspberries next to those mushrooms?
I found a bunch of wild oysters. Can they be frozen for later use?
can we make tissue culture of that mushroom
Thanks for the Info

I found some on a dying maple
Nice bro.
I recently harvested some lung oyster mushrooms…and found little whit worms in them. Yuck.
❤❤❤❤
I saw my first wild oyster today while walking my cat .
wild magic mushroom foraging
all mushrooms are magic ;)
FreshCap Mushrooms wow... thats deep
Make the business more real even, bro.

❤️👍👍👍🐾🐕
i found bags full today :()
Unfortunately, every wild mushroom bounty I find is crawling with maggots :(
I know right?!? So frustrating, gotta get em early or get lucky
I mean, that's extra protein, right?
It may be gross to you, but I encourage you to recognize that those maggots have likely only eaten the mushroom you're wanting to eat. If you didn't see them you'd never know.
I am a big fan and I want to become a mycologist
lol that mushroom with very small bug spots was perfectly fine to eat. just let them sit in salt water for 10 minutes and they'll all come out.
Has a light fishy smell. But tastes kinda like chicken.
Bugs happen. Just wash them out and cook them. Ffs
The little worms in them are pretty gross
I think I found some phoenix oysters today
Well i just ate something i think is oyster mushroom.... i hope
