  • This is video #4 in my new series Mushroom Foraging for Beginners! In this video we examin California's coastal oyster mushrooms. Learn to identify these mushrooms, where to find them and how to cook them. Bonus, I pair them with Dungeness crab that we caught the other day to make a one of a kind mushroom-crab melt!

    One of the things I noticed hunting oysters is that they tend to show up on thinner wood earlier in the season then on the thicker stuff later. So if you see a dead standing tree/thick fallen log with no oysters, but fallen branches/smaller stuff nearby with oysters, come back a few weeks later to check the big stuff again.

      That is interesting! I have never noticed that but I will definatly keep an eye out for that pattern this coming season!

    Generally speaking, I dislike being so connected to technology. However, I've been going through a particularly difficult rough patch the past couple months and have been feeling really "down". Without technology, we may have never connected. Your zest for life and good food, as well as your overall calming demeanour, is exactly what I've been needing. Hoping to channel some of your positive energy and I'm so excited to learn all that you have to share.
    Thanks Kevin, cheers from Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada 👋🏻

      Thanks Wyatt! I decided to start this channel when I broke my leg and was stuck on the couch for a long time and missing the outdoors. I'm not much of a tech person either but being able to watch and share adventures through TH-cam is a pretty cool way to share experiences. Thanks for watching and I hope you get out adventuring soon!

    I found my first amanita today(don'tworry, I'm not about to start eating random mushrooms). Learning to distinguish mushrooms is a thrill I had not anticipated. I've enjoyed this series. I'm hoping there is a morel series somewhere down the line.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574

      Glad you did not eat the amanita but I agree that just identifying them is half the fun. It is quite a beautiful mushroom family.

    Another amazing video! I can't wait for this coming Saturday and our guided trip with you. Our mushroom permits came in the mail yesterday so my girlfriend and I are all set. We are headed up Thursday and hope to take advantage of the low tides Thursday and Friday afternoons (ocean conditions are looking good according to NOAA forecasts). I am hoping to try your take on Teguyaki and some other mussel recipes. Maybe get lucky with a crab snare at the beach and/or the poke poles I am bringing. Looking forward to meeting in person.

    • @catchncookcalifornia1574

      Right on! I hope that you do well in the intertidal! Looking forward to meeting up with you for mushroom identification!

    That's true. I prefer to pick just for personal consumption though. When people pick for money they often over harvest as they stop seeing mushrooms as fungi and begin to see them as $$ which is not sustainable in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

    Man, I can't wait to connect and attend one of your guided classes. Recently, at work, i found myself walking through the forest, taking advantage of all the rail and finding mushrooms . Great video as always.

    We're getting the tail end of the California Pineapple express. No chance of edible mushrooms here in the Sonoran desert but a gal can ALWAYS dream.

      I hear the Madrean Sky Islands of AZ have edible boletes and other species. Not sure what the rules and regulations are about foraging out there though. Thanks for watching!

    I find some mushrooms (Michigan) on dead lying wood in a shelf pattern, they were orange, thought they were Jack-o Lateran's. Now (a week later) they have turned white and still look heathy. They have gulls. what are they ?

      Right on! I am guiding coastal foraging, survival skills, feedive spearfishing, etc. up and down the coast. You can check out details at catchncookcalifornia.com Also, the easiest way to keep up to date with what I am guiding is to get on my email list through my website as that is where I first announce where/when I will be guiding and leading classes.

      I understand your fungiphobia (I was the same way at one time in my life) but truly there are some edible species that look as distinct from toxic species as a sandwich looks from a baseball and if we cannot tell those apart we likely should not be eating at all lol.

    Foraging mushrooms would be dope but I’d probably misidentify and eat poisonous mushrooms
