The kingdom of Fungi wasn't separated from the kingdom of plants until the 1960s and when I was going to school in the 80s and 90s the only thing I really learned about them was that they had their own kingdom.
I have lived in the pnw for over a decade but never noticed or cared about the fungi until the pandemic drastically changed my life and I finally had enough time to stop and notice the fungi. I've been on a nerd quest/compulsion ever since to discover these awesome beings all around us in the pnw.
Love your channel Aaron
This is awesome. Even better knowing the vast diversity of the goldmine of fungi species where you live.
Same here. I began to love mushrooms about 10 years ago but really started to like them the last 3 years.
Some books from the 70's still referenced them as plants also, which didn't help clarify things.
Found your channel just today. Thanks brother!! I as well as many need this
This is a very interesting presentation. My biggest issue, like everyone, is being worried about proper identification. I was pleased to find that several that grow in my yard are edible. Excellent points made to not get lost in the woods. Here in the PNW any autumnal day should include a hot beverage, and a reflective blanket, .
Thank you so much for this video... fungi was my first and foremost interests ever since childhood. And I am originally from the PNW so this was a real treat to watch, brings back wonderful memories!!!
Just getting into mushrooms this year after seeing tons along rivers fishing for trout. Awesome video, learned a lot.
Cool!!heck out the rest of the channel! Glad to have you aboard!🍄
I just wanted to let you know I’m from the Seattle area and this video brought me such peace and was so interesting. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Same here from Seattle area.
It is the time and can't wait! 3 months to check out trail and get ready...

I've seen so many different mushrooms all through the year throughout my Skagit Valley acreage!! I like to photograph them because they're beautiful and elegant. Now I want to learn about them and this video is a great start!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

I lived in Kitsap County for forty years and never new about this Society. Dang. I'm out in Belfair now. Might have to think about looking into visiting you guys. I'd sure love to learn about foraging for edible 'shrooms!
You should! The meetings are on zoom right now anyhow, so it doesn't matter where you are but there are forays in the fall, and in future time we will meet again once a month, and have a big mushroom show at the Olympic college as well as a booth at the fair.
Thankyou for this video ! ❤ Hello here from Skagit County Washington 👋
I just wanted to say thank you and great job with the documentaries you made Brother! I've watched a lot of your other videos and I am a fan for sure, but I didn't know you made these documentaries.

this was such a helpful and informative video, absolutely delightful! thank you! can't wait to get outside and hunt some shrooms :)
Wish I would've know about this group when I lived up in Kitsap county.
I've been in the woods my whole life around the canal and Olympic park, harvesting everything the peninsula has to harvest,and I appreciate this knowledge your sharing cause I see these edibles everywhere,thank you for this
Thank you so much for all the amazing info. Love the explanation and easy identification tips for a beginner like me.
I didn't know matsutake grew in the PNW; found several beautiful aminta muscaria right in downtown Seattle a couple days ago, I just left them and hopefully they're still there.

Why is it that only certain trees have mushrooms on their roots? I see none in the neighborhoods, just shady courtyards / cementsries
@@beckyscleanersock8395 Neighborhoods get landscaped and sprayed to prevent the growth of anything that wasnt planted there.
enjoyed very much as fungi lover thank you !
Incredible documentary! I wish there were more of these around
This is so fascinating to me. I’m going to see if they have a mushroom club in S.Jersey!
Nice video. Thanks for your work.
Nice, informative channel for beginners...Thx. Btw, that red cap leccinum albostipitatus is being considered as perfectly edible mushroom cross EU.
You are the champignon my friend , we are the champignon of the world !
Wonderful documentary!
Wow!!!! Thank you so much. This answers do many questions
Very well done. Inspiring.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you I will be following for more great shared info. Thanks Brother 🙏🏼🍄👍
Thank you for so much interesting and useful information!
I really appreciate the warning about getting lost in the forest. I can't tell you the number of times it's happened to me personally. Lucky for me I'm usually close enough to home that I can call my husband. He will then come to the parking lot where he sees my car and lay on the horn and tell me or the dog skin hear him.
This is super rad! I live in Huntington Beach always wanted to visit up North. It looks stunning!
You should!
I'm from Long Beach and I'm up here right now for work for a month!! I'm gonna go up to mt Rainer to forage I was in west port didn't find any
Wow what big and beautiful shrooms! Never seen so many …I live in south Al . My box turtles love to eat them so I’m always bent over in the woods searching….
I dig the OLD school M's cap with the trident, I have a similar one that's all black & white. GO M'S!
absolutely awesome,,,
Great information. Thanks!
What a great informative video ! The gentleman with the big white beard growing mushrooms in his house was a great bunch of information.
The book 'radical mycology' is also a unbelievable resource for growing mushrooms at home
Nice presentation! 👍👍👊
this was awesome.. thanks
Oh I'm cooking mushrooms with love.. I love pink oyster because they're big and tastes like bacon...
The walk down the trail was cool.
Please come check out the rest of the channel! The majority of the videos are just like that, Forest Trailside identification.
Here in my state, Georgia, I find Chantelles amongst predominantly "Coniferous" pine trees. Albeit, very old Pine trees. I'm sure some of the scattered river birch and cypress roots intertwine somewhere under the soil but produce Chantys ever single year in late May/June near river banks especially. To anyone who may venture out.
My profile pic was taken standing adjacent from a patch.
Personally I want to thank you for a wonderful information it means a lot to me
The coolest thing about fungi and mushroom (meh, same thing)….
We haven’t even discovered 1/4 of the possible species, or rather the seven levels of classifications. There’s a photographer from Australia that has taken some AWESOME photos and videos of fungi.
This photographer‘s name is Stephen Axford, and his chanel here on yt is called Planet Fungi.
He really is top notch, and he’s very famous for his incredible series of time relapsed pictures of fungi.
Excellent
loved it
Yes if you cut chanterelles they absolutely will grow another mushroom the ones I pick early in the season I come back for late in the season and get a double harvest
Fascinating
*EXCELLENT*
Brand new to the channel. I was told as a kid that even touching a poisonous mushroom could make you sick. Apparently not true. 😆Already have learned something new watching. Thanks for the information! New subscriber!
the only chicken of the woods i ever found on a living tree was on an oak on the Plumas NF in cali. the hundreds of others i've found have been on long dead larch stumps.
muito bom!! amei
Going through all your videos! Good stuff! Any recommendations on foraging for beginners classes?
The problem we have in England is the huge increase in pixies. Every blasted fungus has windows and a door. However, it's nice to see a documentary that's down to earth and 'chatty'. It was great to see Father Christmas without his uniform on.
🍄🍄🌿😍! I loved!!!
My brother lives in PORT ORFORD down past COOS BAY , he lives a couple blocks from the ocean and there is a dead tree stump on the other side of the fence of his front yard last year he said it grew something huge out of it he could see it from his kitchen window and was going to get a closer look the following day I said OOOOH take a pic for me it may be a CONK!! Next day he goes out, kids were walking by after school and one lil guy was kicking the last chunks of it down the street on his way by!! What a shame! This year it grew a different mushroom said to be CHICKEN OF THE FOREST? It is pretty big, and the colors!!! BEAUTIFUL red, orange /yellow!!
I would love to know if CONKS grow here in Van C. And where to find the large ones?
Awesome video! I learned so much, this has been very comprehensive :O
It's a bit odd that you put 10m of black filler at the end, but other than that, stellar work!
Yeah there was a couple of editing issues, kind of my first "big" production. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you got some value out of it. Check out the rest of the channel! 🍄
Rule number one:
Never!
Put out a fungus with the complete stem.
Always!
Protect and respect the mycelium
Always!
Leave the roots and part of stem in the ground.
Good mushroom hunters always use the knife and cut the fungus over the ground. They leave half of the mushrooms behind for the next one.
Destroying the mycelia is so bad and you do it all the time in this video.
It is an interesting video besides this and the music.
Will watch one more, hope you take this into consideration.
@@doroparker1702 actually there has even been studies done that show plucking mushrooms can stimulate mycelium growth. It does no harm to the mycelium. I challenge you to pick up any modern Field guide and read in the front chapter about how to harvest mushrooms, they will all agree that plucking a mushroom does as much damage mycelium as plucking an apple does to damage a tree. There's a lot of Old world misinformation out there, the plucking myth is one of them. There's a wealth of information also online about the falseness of your statement. Not trying to be harsh just want to be helpful. It could save you a lot of agitation.
@@mushroomwonderland1 I appreciate knowing this! The EU harvesters I noticed tap the caps prior to picking. Reguards if releasing spore, teaches give as one takes. Respect!
Thank u so much !!!
You're welcome!
did they make a UK version of this amazing program ?
Blue King Oyster is one of my tip favorites. Its no surprise to learn it's also medicine!! #GodsPharmacy
thanks for sharing your knowledge...but can you move to New England please? ;)
I should grow my own mushrooms. I love them 😃
When can we watch another episode? Thank you very much
56:11 has to be my favorite type of mushroom. Not sure what it's called though!
I am pretty sure I have met you in my travels through recent years...??? Central Oregon coast maybe?
I'm shocked to hear him say going shiitake on logs is difficult. I live in Southwest Michigan and I had never heard that or probably would never have even attempted it. Growing shiitake on logs was actually the first mushroom I ever grew. I found it so easy it basically grows itself
Let's be honest... chanterelles (cibarius) are the BEST mushroom! taste so good. Btw, I have experimented with boiling mushrooms and then frying them as a method for cooking. I have had very good results. I would advise any mushroom lovers to try it out. Works very well for both spongy and gilled mushrooms. PS porcini has to be eaten raw with salt, lemon and a touch of olive oil. Just make sure they are young.
Yum!
How do I do this I want to do this you’re awesome thank you for sharing this
Does anyone have a suggested channel for videos like this but for the south east? Like North Georgia/ NC area specially? This vidoe was awesome!
You might try Learn your Land. He's in Pennsylvania, but I think they have a lot of the same mycoflora as where you are, and he makes amazing videos.
@@mushroomwonderland1 Thank you 😊
That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'm in VA.
I heard its good mushroom foraging to cut your mushrooms with a knife at the bottom so that they grow back and you keep the fungus alive. I've notice most of the mushrooms were just ripped out in this. is cutting a good practice or is it okay to just rip em out
I'm looking for part 2 of this documentary on your channel. Is it under a different title perhaps? I've subscribed and will be awaiting more of your fascinating videos !! Thanks 🙏
Due to covid a second episode of this has been put on hold, but there's another new series out on mushroom Wonderland called understanding mushrooms that you might be interested in!
@@mushroomwonderland1 Brilliant, thanks!! I'll watch it!!
my question is.....the potency, the first is the strongest, or the last? Or do we look at the number numbers...thank you
Not sure I understand your question. The potency of what?
🙏🏻
What's the name of the song you used around the 40:00 mark?
That is a cover of an old song called House of the rising Sun.
@@mushroomwonderland1 oh my god! I knew I recognized it!! Such a lovely song, thanks for replying
I noticed during the portion of the video in the lab, that the isopropyl alcohol is 99%. I heard 99% evaporates too quickly to provide adequite sanitization, and that 70% is better.
I am not the mushroom farmer, but he seems to do pretty well. That is a great point though.
I have heard this too
It kills on contact. Theh don’t need to soak in order to die.
Most mushroom you see in store, are not randomly plucked! What they do is, in old terms, you have something called botani whatsoever. And so, what most of you ... nowadays, mushroom are mostly cultured.. like so many cherries or StrawBerries, chestnut, groundnut & you name it!
So, you will have some sort of like one huge greenhouse nursery look-a-like & from 1 end to the other.. all you could see, is mushroom. So cultured/greenhouse.. ..what ever you want to name it, have gone around for centuries & yeah, feel free to get them in-stores!!!
Would it be good practice to lay a marker stake in areas where dangerous mushrooms are discovered?
With some accountability attached eg "WARNING, DEATHCAPS FOUND IN THIS AREA - local mushroom society UK" or whatever.
I mean, the system isn't foolproof but it could assist any few/far betweeny mushroom hunters out there
SUCH a fascinating doc btw. Really appreciate all the work
I think it's a good idea! Some trees host these mushrooms for decades.. Have a sign on them with warnings 🤙
Or, portobello steaks with wine 🍷😏 I'm a Pescatarian so portobellos are great meat substitutes.
In other words you let a church control your life. I found it hilarious how during the Zika virus the catholic church backpeddled on it's stance towards condoms. Most Americans worship celebrities and abrievate words so it's not surprising so many people missed that. For thousands of years they told people they were going to hell for using a condom and then zika hits and they suddenly don't care 🤣🤣🤣
Priests were glutinous and enjoyed eating meat. The general population was reducing their supply. They couldn't have their kushy lives upset so they made a bunch of rules blocking the general public from eating (competing) with their food food supply. You probably will reject my opinion as accepting it would make you feel stupid for spending so much time caring about something that doesn't matter.
@@alexandervalaris72 It's so sad and kinda funny at the same time that noone literally noone gave a fuck about your rant. Until now i guess
Take care with portabello mush, they have to be cooked in high temps to avoid carcinogens
Do you know a good book for ID mushrooms in the pnw
46:00 hmm I wonder if this happens to other species ? Could end the cut/pick debate if so bc why pick when you could cut and possibly reharvest the same mushroom multiple times.
At 40:52 into this video, you say you discovered Amanita Muscaria. Sir? Isn't that an Amanita Regalis? 🤷🏻♀️
Imagine how rich that grower could get if he started growing magic mushrooms
🤘
At 44:00- I thought that was a suillus granulatus and not The slippery jack. The jack has a persistent ring. Pretty sure. Both are edible though.
link to episode 2?
Fun mysteries of fungi.💖
Heading to Sequim next weekend from Eugene, maybe I will eat some of his fresh picked mushrooms
Aaron?! We were wondering if you have class on weekend (s)? We would love to tag along with ya’ll This coming spring or next early fall 🍄

I'm jealous of those in the PNW - I'm in MN and we get a very much shorter mushroom season... [I'm actually in need of a partner as I've become less physically mobile due to a medical condition but I am still hopelessly addicted to foraging, so if you're in central MN and you want to learn, drop me a line!]
Some interesting things I've learned are:
A. Even false morels are edible if you boil them in several exchanges of water.
B. Crushed up Dead Man's Fingers mixed with water is a cure for an ear infection!
And if any mushroom forager wants to go on vacation - Croatia and the rest of Eastern Europe is amazing!
The almost best thing I've found was a VERY, VERY, VERY close look-a-like to the Matsutake. I was able to find out what it was once from an anecdote by maybe Michael Kuo or the like who had the same experience I did - elation at finding it and identifying it as far as one could, then tasting it with very much disappointment... only wish it were true (unless there's something environmental that's causing it to not taste correctly. Not sure how often that can happen. When I have disposable income I will be sending in a specimen for DNA and Spore Print identification to make sure...)
Thank you for the information. I may have an ear infection
At 41:00 is that an Amanita Pantherinoides not a muscaria?
Amanita muscaria var. Flavivolvata, the color didn't come through in the video that great. Just a few minutes later I run across a pantherina, distinctly Brown. Thank you for watching 🍄
I live in the Sandy OR. area, I there a myco society around her that anyone might be able to point me in the direction of? We are approaching fungi season and I'd really like to spend some time with some people that can help me start my journey through the mushi kingdom? I've learned a few, but definitely a noob!
Aminita or fly agaric are not poisonous… they can most certainly be prepared and eaten or used as a sedative/mild hallucinogenic.
cool vid! is it just me or is the last 15+ minutes here just a black screen....?
Sorry yes it is. Something weird happened in the edit. Oopsie!
🍄🍄🍄
47:39 "This one makes it in our basket today." Is the person filming using a basket??? You have a bag! 🤣😁😉🤷🏻♀️
Im very interested in the Lion's Mane or Hericium erinaceous and I wonder does it grow wild in the PNW? Also, please nobody respond with instagram tags to score psychs Im alright.
Love grill portobello with cheese.
House of the Rising Sun being played in the background. 👍
One of the major establish ecosystems on the planet earth is the fungi
cool
"the forest looks different when you don't go for the trees, don't look up, instead look closer to the ground"
you have to watch out for a 3 year old toddler child that put stuff in their mouths and the little kids could eat the poisonous mushrooms and get sick and die and the parents would get in trouble from child neglect.
