Adam, you should speak on videos all the time! This was one of the best videos I have ever seen. Very well done! The information was clearly presented. Thanks you!
Adam we really appreciate you. We could never be tired of listening to you we even love your disclaimers. Thank you so much for your humble teachings. 🥰💛❤️🧡
Once again you have provided a wonderful learning experience for all of us. The depth of your knowledge and the passion of your personal interest are obvious to everyone. Thank you.
Today I harvested a couple of hen-of-the-woods, or miatake mushrooms, from my land. Gave a 4 pound specimen to a friend, the rest is in my dehydrator. Adam, every bit of information you give, gives us power to do what we need to be stewards of our land. Thank you for all your instruction and information.
We clean 'n freeze ours. Great chewy mushrooms for sauces. Odd year for Hens'. I missed a few that grew by oaks that never before grew any, in my neighbor's yard.
@@jonhohensee3258 they produce spores and also have a vast underground network of ‘roots’ called mycelium. Mycelium isn’t *actually* roots but that’s the best way to describe it. This underground network is capable of creating new fruiting bodies (actual mushrooms). So in summary, you really don’t have to do much to ensure that they will grow again- the mushrooms have it covered!

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms

I brought a straw bale home for seeding an area recently tilled for pool work and Chanterelle mushrooms popped from it and around it. Now we have a very large patch after 6 or so years and they come every year.
Okay, I'll be the first to ask. When can we expect part two? Lol. Thanks for everything you do Mr. Haritan! Your videos are super informative, humble, and genuine, and I really appreciate that!

This year being exceptionally wet, we found and identified many variety of bolete mushrooms in our yard around birch and fruit trees. This has been a great year to learn about fungus among other things. Thank you for the video!
Long time subscriber. I have always liked and, applied your edutainment to living on my karst wooded Indiana property. My greatest achievement is a reoccurring patch of Chanterelles. Thank you Adam.
Have been seeing Boles and White Cone Caps, in my straw mulch, veggie garden every morning. I love knowing that my efforts to bring this dry, barren, high desert land, back to life, is having a small impact. I may not have any edible 'shrooms in my yard, but I'm eating up, and geeking out on all the incredible education you offer us, here on Learn Your Land. Much gratitude, Adam.
Thank you for saying the phrase "mycological key" as that has helped me greatly in my research of making a comprehensive guide to the edible mushrooms that I am interested in so I can keep an eye on identification because I've been working on that for a while and I kept looking up dyconomis and that wasn't really helping me but mycological was perfect
Fascinating Adam! The maturing patterns are amazing similar to your morphing handsome hair styles. We've been feasting on giant puff balls in the Great Lakes region with daily rains often water bombs. Appreciative
Love this! We don’t have to always go out into the woods to see mushrooms- they are all around us. I’ve found so many cool mushrooms just on afternoon walks in my neighborhood. Ringless honey mushrooms and even ganodermas!
I get tons of Puffballs all over my yard every year. I've never harvested them for food but I sure do love picking one up and giving it a good dropkick. They explode into a billion tiny little pieces and fall back to the ground like snow... that's probably why I get so many puffballs is because I'm literally blasting their spores around my yard lmao
When they're white and firm, they can be pretty good eating. I saute them in olive oil and butter; some people dredge them in egg and coat them with flour or crumbs. Unfortunately, it's a pain to preserve them...they don't dry or freeze well. Only way I've found is to cut them up and cook them in spaghetti sauce or some such, then freeze the sauce.
@@retriever19golden55 I've found the giant puffballs (look like sun-bleached human skulls from a distance). Sliced up slabs and sauteed the same, plus garlic, delicious!

Hi Adam! Thanks for this fun video. Since a large portion of mushroom hunting involves tree identification; I am taking this time to beg you to speak out against volcano mulching. For ppl who do not know; this is a fairly recent new way of mulching trees and it is horrible! You will see it everywhere. Just look at a tree and if the mulch is piled up in a cone; that is volcano mulching. It weakens the tree, provides home for insects, and will shorten the tree's lifespan.
I’ve been watching your older videos and I kept thinking you look super similar to someone but I couldn’t place who it was. Well I figured it out today! Although you look more like him in your videos from a couple of years ago…. It’s John Denver!! Have you heard that before?
Adam knows mushrooms like Audobon knew birds... Always something to learn in these videos that I would not be exposed to any where else in my existence. Thank you again, Adam!
You rock Adam. I have been watering a new area and they appearing all over it. i have been letting them break open on their own and have been enjoying the full cycle of them. EVERYTHING is worth learning for sure!
So many mushrooms everywhere this year! Must be the high moisture with the early dry summer? It's a fungus extravaganza! I'm seeing more mushrooms that I've never seen before in areas that I've never seen them giant puffballs, medow puffballs,etc.
My property has exploded with all kinds of different mushrooms this year! Thanks to that explosion, I’ve become very interested in mycology. I had no idea so many amazing looking mushrooms existed! It’s how I ended subscribing to Adam’s channel. A few days, a few (what I think are) boletes rubroflammeus sprouted around the tree right outside my back door. Quite an extraordinary looking mushroom. And lots of white ramaria’s in the wooded area. I’ve also found lobsters and the craziest looking reishi. It’s too bad we can’t post pictures here. I’ve learned a lot, thanks to Adam and others. Also learned that chipmunks love death angels and it doesn’t kill them. 🙀
I'm in Oregon, not much moisture but maybe from nearly burns(??). I'm on a small lot (subdivision), been finding a few morels in strange areas the last 3 yrs, twice in my catio enclosure!
I have researched and found out that shrooms are very helpful , it has really helps to reduce anxiety and depression . I would love to try magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some , Is there any realiable source I can purchase one
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot , I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well.
Love puff balls, we had them under the elderberry bushes where it was moist. It was just fun to make the pores puff out of the balls, we didn't have TV or much entertainment back in those days
I'm very grateful Adam chose to teach about the natural world instead of being a rocket scientist or brain surgeon. thank you for doing what you do I have learn so much.
Just found this channel. Became curious over the years because I have shrooms growing and always wondered. Your intro of disclaimers was epic. You won me over with your candor there. Well done!
Thanks to your awesome videos my wife and I have begun foraging for mushrooms this year! We have learned so much from you. So far we have gathered oyster, honey, turkey tail, lion's mane, and reishi! We are really enjoying all the wonderful benefits God has provided through His creation! Again, thank you Adam for all you do.
Sooooo helpful! I thought I found old puffballs fishing the other day and now I know they are Poison Pigskin. You're the man, Adam. Thanks from Philly! Hopefully we will see you sometime around here at a Philadelphia Mycology Club event!
I'm in northern bucks country. Know a clubs around me? Ive searched, but haven't found any. Side note: I'm growing Shitaki's. Last week as I was harvesting, I noticed what looked like Shitaki's growing in some wood chips near the base of a Maple tree. They were identical in appearance, but when I looked under the cap, the gills were brown. Any idea what this could've been?
@@maverick5006 the Philly club is probably the closest. They don't limit hikes to just Philly and I believe we've been to bucks. Definitely Delco. There is a Delco mushroom club too actually. If you're on FB you can find them. I'm not sure about Bucks. If have to see if to ID it bud.
Adam is starting to sound a bit jaded; wonder if itś the TH-cam haters that have got him down? Has the sunshiny kid with long hair and a headband turned into a cynical dude with a buzz cut?? YOU RULE ADAM, DON"T LET THE HATERS GET YOU DOWN!! You are an integral part of my, and many many others, mushroom journeys. Thanks for being awesome!!
I have been fascinatinated by mycology since I was a kid,and realized that I could a watch a mushroom actually grow if I spent the time to be patient.Nothing beats morrells,and puffballs.My uncle used to pay us kids for em.depending on the size and texture ,up to 20 bucks. Well done content.wish the world could understand that every thing is worth knowing.....
I live in between Ernest and the Rose Inn and because of you, I've been going out every day and and looking for what I see in your videos. I have every one of these that were in this particular video, and many more, literally right in my back yard. Thank you sir!🤜🏼🤛🏼
After 21 years, I am still learning my land! This year I discovered field / meadow mushrooms and purple puffballs. I wonder how many times I walked past mushrooms not knowing they were edible? Well, my eyes are being newly trained to keep a look out now! 😊
Your channel, and your approach to teaching, are both very entertaining and your material is easy to digest. You're doing a fine job, young man, and I don't get to say that often enough these days, so be proud of your work.
Excellent video, as always. Thanks to you, I’m slowly but surely learning to identify mushrooms (and trees!) on my land and the mountains where we do some hunting. I had no idea how fascinating mushrooms truly were until their year when my yard and woods exploded with them. I was trying to identify a white mushroom (I now know is an amanita/death Angel) and ended up addicted to mycology. Thank you so much for giving us such an excellent education into the ecology of mushrooms. Truly fascinating.
I'd love to eat a wild mushroom, but I don't know which ones are safe to eat. Years ago, I found a beautiful, perfect, white mushroom growing under the oak tree in front of my house. I later identified it as a Death Cap mushroom.
I really like your sense of humor. I'll bet you hate giving us disclaimers as much as people don't like hearing them. You've probably gotten questions, whose answers are in the disclaimer (they weren't listening, ha). Always enjoy your videos, Dr. H.
Monotropa Uniflora. You're finding the rarer red variety. They're usually all white. They can't produce clorophyll to feed themselves so they have a 3 way relationship with mushrooms and trees. Usually pine trees and milk cap or russula mushrooms. I've found a lot on my property last week after big rains. Only happens once a year.
I found your channel when I was looking for someone that was in my general area (ish) after I moved and noticed my 1 acre yard produced more mushroom diversity than I had ever seen in southeast VA, (I even have several patches of ghost pipes!!) and I’m so glad I found ya! I only knew a few things but that amount has easily quadrupled. Your content is so easily ingested and processed (and you’re low key funny af) and for having adhd just know that doesn’t happen often in my learning patterns , you even immediately caught my 7 year old daughters ear and have inspired her to make her own mushroom videos ! She’s honing her skills and slowly learning not every red mushroom is not an amanita muscaria, and She thinks maybe one day you will probably “do a collab video with her once you see how great her videos are “ 😂 So thanks for doing what you do and doing it well!
I worked at a farmers market years ago and one day they brought in a massive puffball (like 2’ across) from the woods edging a field. I’d never seen them other than a paper-thin shell we used to kick in the woods. A friend took a hunk home and fried it up in butter and we had a real feast. Never had the like since.
Puffballs are the bomb! Instantly recognizable and usually a wholr lot of eating in them..I"ve had many dishes with these guys in so far this year. Made the best carbonara with them and everyone loved it! 😊
I have had about 10 of these grow in my lawn over the last couple weeks.Didnt know that they were edible until this video. I've been just putting them in the compost pile. Was worried that they were poisonous to my dogs. I would try them but because of my dogs using my backyard as their bathroom I don't feel comfortable eating them.
Love this. Some of my best memories are of my grandmother taking me out mushroom hunting for her from scratch pasta sauce. The long walks in the woods were the best. Heidi
Excellent as always. Please come visit us on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State we have many thousands of unidentified mushrooms. I'm not asking that you stay long just a year or two love your work. Thank you
Thanks! I recognized 3 of these and think my dog has munched on the one that could be toxic. Must not have munched on much of it as he seems fine (Hallelujah!) So hard to remove them all fast enough.
I'm new to mushroom hunting and so far I haven't found any club close by but I have been studying and reading and watching videos (almost exclusively yours) for months before I ever went out the first time to attempt to collect. And not thirty feet from my yard into the woods I found a large patch smooth chanterelle mushrooms. I only collected a couple and before I even prepare them I watch your video on identification and how to tell those from the jack-o'-lanterns again and I prepared one and ate a small amount and it was delicious. So thank you. Your channel is great and I have a lot of time on my hands now because I'm out of work so I am giving myself sort of a course on mushrooms maybe soon when I get back to work I can get your online course. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!!! And by the way I live in Southeastern Coastal Georgia
Learnyourland I know it may not be in your scope currently but I think a lot of us would love to see a video from you talking about easily cultivated outdoor species like winecap and shiitake
After watching some of your stuff, me and my wife got into this and did our first real foraging last weekend. We found a bunch of awesome stuff! We even found some eastern cauliflower mushroom that was the size of both hands and we can't wait to try some of them!! We did grab an app and did spoore prints to be SUPER sure and are going to try a little at a time like suggested just to see how our bellies handle it. I've been vegan for over a year so I'm hoping my gut biome handles it well but super excited. Thank you for the awesome content!

The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot , I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well.
@@tomrandell2979 Yes, he ships discreet and anonymous
I love this channel!!
Adam, you make everything you share to be fascinating. Even disclaimers are super fun!
You are a pleasure to listen to, well spoken and intelligent. Thank you
Love puff balls, we had them under the elderberry bushes where it was moist. It was just fun to make the pores puff out of the balls, we didn't have TV or much entertainment back in those days
I'm very grateful Adam chose to teach about the natural world instead of being a rocket scientist or brain surgeon. thank you for doing what you do I have learn so much.
Just found this channel. Became curious over the years because I have shrooms growing and always wondered. Your intro of disclaimers was epic. You won me over with your candor there. Well done!
Thanks to your awesome videos my wife and I have begun foraging for mushrooms this year! We have learned so much from you. So far we have gathered oyster, honey, turkey tail, lion's mane, and reishi! We are really enjoying all the wonderful benefits God has provided through His creation! Again, thank you Adam for all you do.
Sooooo helpful! I thought I found old puffballs fishing the other day and now I know they are Poison Pigskin. You're the man, Adam.
Thanks from Philly! Hopefully we will see you sometime around here at a Philadelphia Mycology Club event!
I'm in northern bucks country. Know a clubs around me? Ive searched, but haven't found any. Side note: I'm growing Shitaki's. Last week as I was harvesting, I noticed what looked like Shitaki's growing in some wood chips near the base of a Maple tree. They were identical in appearance, but when I looked under the cap, the gills were brown. Any idea what this could've been?
@@maverick5006 the Philly club is probably the closest. They don't limit hikes to just Philly and I believe we've been to bucks. Definitely Delco. There is a Delco mushroom club too actually. If you're on FB you can find them. I'm not sure about Bucks.
If have to see if to ID it bud.
Adam is starting to sound a bit jaded; wonder if itś the TH-cam haters that have got him down? Has the sunshiny kid with long hair and a headband turned into a cynical dude with a buzz cut?? YOU RULE ADAM, DON"T LET THE HATERS GET YOU DOWN!! You are an integral part of my, and many many others, mushroom journeys. Thanks for being awesome!!
Great video as always, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Just signed up for your online course, can't wait to start!
I have been fascinatinated by mycology since I was a kid,and realized that I could a watch a mushroom actually grow if I spent the time to be patient.Nothing beats morrells,and puffballs.My uncle used to pay us kids for em.depending on the size and texture ,up to 20 bucks. Well done content.wish the world could understand that every thing is worth knowing.....
New video! I love this guy! Best content. Thank you for opening my eyes to the fungi kingdom, so interesting and healthy!
I live in between Ernest and the Rose Inn and because of you, I've been going out every day and and looking for what I see in your videos. I have every one of these that were in this particular video, and many more, literally right in my back yard. Thank you sir!🤜🏼🤛🏼
Man... i've been waiting for one of these! 💖
I personally love your attention to detail, some things being thorough is necessary ❤ carry on🎉
After 21 years, I am still learning my land! This year I discovered field / meadow mushrooms and purple puffballs. I wonder how many times I walked past mushrooms not knowing they were edible? Well, my eyes are being newly trained to keep a look out now! 😊
Nature's noblemen like Adam are a gift to the natural world that deserves support.
Perfect video :) been wanting one like this
Your channel, and your approach to teaching, are both very entertaining and your material is easy to digest. You're doing a fine job, young man, and I don't get to say that often enough these days, so be proud of your work.
Excellent video, as always. Thanks to you, I’m slowly but surely learning to identify mushrooms (and trees!) on my land and the mountains where we do some hunting. I had no idea how fascinating mushrooms truly were until their year when my yard and woods exploded with them. I was trying to identify a white mushroom (I now know is an amanita/death Angel) and ended up addicted to mycology. Thank you so much for giving us such an excellent education into the ecology of mushrooms. Truly fascinating.
I live in western pa also, you would be a handy guy to go backpacking with, thanks for all you do to educate mankind. Love your videos,stay safe.
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
I did two grams last time, it was a thrilling experience and I enjoyed it
(dream.spores)
Got psych's*
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
@@johnkeleher5563 where to search? Is it IG ??
Very knowledgeable and very charismatic! I should put more into learning about foraging. Thank you for sharing.
I'd love to eat a wild mushroom, but I don't know which ones are safe to eat.
Years ago, I found a beautiful, perfect, white mushroom growing under the oak tree in front of my house. I later identified it as a Death Cap mushroom.
White Puffballs are generally the easiest to identify and eat.
Kevin - YOU'RE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.
I saw two in our yard. Thanks for making this video. I always wondered what type of mushrooms we have in our yard.
The sass in this video is giving me life❤️
SASS?
I really like your sense of humor. I'll bet you hate giving us disclaimers as much as people don't like hearing them. You've probably gotten questions, whose answers are in the disclaimer (they weren't listening, ha). Always enjoy your videos, Dr. H.
I usually find weird tall red flowers that pop up in the same spot once year. Pretty sure it's some kind of fungus that just looks really nice.
I wish YT gave us the ability to post pictures, I would love to see
Monotropa Uniflora. You're finding the rarer red variety. They're usually all white. They can't produce clorophyll to feed themselves so they have a 3 way relationship with mushrooms and trees. Usually pine trees and milk cap or russula mushrooms. I've found a lot on my property last week after big rains. Only happens once a year.
@@sjr7822
I figured out that it's called a Spider Lilly or something...
@@joshuagibson2520
If that's what was growing, then I'm glad I didn't eat it. Because I was kinda tempted to. 😂
@@Adventist1997 monotropa has medical uses and can be consumed.
Your always worth the time and nobody will convince me otherwise. Thanks buddy.
Thanks for watching, Brett.
If you take mushrooms don't look at his mouth
Or watch the newer willy wanka movie. Lol
I found your channel when I was looking for someone that was in my general area (ish) after I moved and noticed my 1 acre yard produced more mushroom diversity than I had ever seen in southeast VA, (I even have several patches of ghost pipes!!) and I’m so glad I found ya! I only knew a few things but that amount has easily quadrupled. Your content is so easily ingested and processed (and you’re low key funny af) and for having adhd just know that doesn’t happen often in my learning patterns , you even immediately caught my 7 year old daughters ear and have inspired her to make her own mushroom videos ! She’s honing her skills and slowly learning not every red mushroom is not an amanita muscaria, and She thinks maybe one day you will probably “do a collab video with her once you see how great her videos are “ 😂 So thanks for doing what you do and doing it well!
Way to handle the disclaimer, sad that you have to give such a thorough one, in the litigious states of america.
I really appreciate all the work you have done for us, thanks
I worked at a farmers market years ago and one day they brought in a massive puffball (like 2’ across) from the woods edging a field. I’d never seen them other than a paper-thin shell we used to kick in the woods. A friend took a hunk home and fried it up in butter and we had a real feast. Never had the like since.
Thx ⚘️ 😊 🙏
Thank you for sharing so much information🙏 easily becoming my favourite TH-cam channel.
This channel is a gem. Super happy to find it.
Wonderful and interesting topic!
Puffballs are the bomb! Instantly recognizable and usually a wholr lot of eating in them..I"ve had many dishes with these guys in so far this year. Made the best carbonara with them and everyone loved it! 😊
I have had about 10 of these grow in my lawn over the last couple weeks.Didnt know that they were edible until this video. I've been just putting them in the compost pile. Was worried that they were poisonous to my dogs. I would try them but because of my dogs using my backyard as their bathroom I don't feel comfortable eating them.
Thank you Adam very inspiring I am at present harvesting a Hen of the wood (Maitake) mushroom that grows around the same tree every year.
Love this. Some of my best memories are of my grandmother taking me out mushroom hunting for her from scratch pasta sauce. The long walks in the woods were the best. Heidi
This guy is a genius and has an amazing vocabulary and is a great presenter
Yes, a part 2 to this video would be appreciated! Thanks Adam
Gary He has several put this in the youtube search
"Learn Your Land" you get a list
Excellent as always. Please come visit us on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State we have many thousands of unidentified mushrooms. I'm not asking that you stay long just a year or two love your work. Thank you
I second the motion (Poulsbo)
Thanks! I recognized 3 of these and think my dog has munched on the one that could be toxic. Must not have munched on much of it as he seems fine (Hallelujah!) So hard to remove them all fast enough.
I'm new to mushroom hunting and so far I haven't found any club close by but I have been studying and reading and watching videos (almost exclusively yours) for months before I ever went out the first time to attempt to collect. And not thirty feet from my yard into the woods I found a large patch smooth chanterelle mushrooms. I only collected a couple and before I even prepare them I watch your video on identification and how to tell those from the jack-o'-lanterns again and I prepared one and ate a small amount and it was delicious. So thank you. Your channel is great and I have a lot of time on my hands now because I'm out of work so I am giving myself sort of a course on mushrooms maybe soon when I get back to work I can get your online course. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!!! And by the way I live in Southeastern Coastal Georgia
Thank you for incredible knowledge! I love watching all of them. Dry well spoken and keep us interested. Thanks a million.
sorry I wrote this without my glasses! Correction I meant to say *VERY well spoken and keep us interested, my apologies.
Thanks so much! I live in California but still found your information so helpful.
Learnyourland I know it may not be in your scope currently but I think a lot of us would love to see a video from you talking about easily cultivated outdoor species like winecap and shiitake
After watching some of your stuff, me and my wife got into this and did our first real foraging last weekend. We found a bunch of awesome stuff! We even found some eastern cauliflower mushroom that was the size of both hands and we can't wait to try some of them!!
We did grab an app and did spoore prints to be SUPER sure and are going to try a little at a time like suggested just to see how our bellies handle it. I've been vegan for over a year so I'm hoping my gut biome handles it well but super excited.
Thank you for the awesome content!
Simply said - love your motivation
I have learn so much watching you and continue with my own research.
Thank you trillion times thanks!
