21:08 I contacted you about the velvet footed pax last year and told you I ate it (large one too). Sautee in butter with garlic, it turned a beautiful purple color and was delish with ZERO gastro upset or other nasty effects. Tasted like the Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup mushrooms lol.
Another great video there. Living on the wet side of the peninsula and having an extensive knowledge of fungi, I still find myself watching your videos. Keep it up!
love the content and cool to know all this is literally in my backyard. Im in kitsap aswell and would love to know some of the better trails to keep an eye on
Right now in Southern New England the flushes of delicious bicolored boletes seem to have ended but I am finding Suillus Americanus (chicken fat mushroom) and Suillus Spragueii (painted suillus), several Leccinum or Lecinellum species with prinounced scaber-stalks that I can't ID, and a few "old man of the woods" (strobilomyces). Haven't seen any Dyer's polypores yet, although last year I found one which was 3 feet in diameter. I've seen a few Berkeley's polypores, and I also found a tiny little bright red polypore ball on a rotting tree stump that had some gutation at the base but which I cannot identify. I also found a couple of small Frost's ("candy apple") boletes. We've hit a cool snap and so I expect we'll start getting a lot of flushes in the next week or 2.
At about 5:25 you asked your dog "what's up buddy?" And then you found some mushrooms. Do you think at this point he's figured out why you're out there? I get the feeling he has to recognize some of the smells
@@matifischer23 Yeah I think sometimes they find the mushrooms, right before I start filming and then they pounce on them! Haha. But Loki, the GSP, is a trained truffle dog, so he's pretty amazing.
Hey aaron! I just went to lake Cushman and found my first lobster mushroom! It’s crazy how many more mushrooms grow up in those mountains. Are there any boletes growing up here right now? Or is that more of a cascades thing?
Definitely wish that tapinella atrotomentosa was edible. I did try a nibble, and was quite bitter, so even if it's not poisonous, it'll just be a photography mushroom for me 😅 They're very attractive

I love the snail time lapse. I’m definitely going to try that. Maybe I’ll try it with a slime mold, but that would really take some patience.

Love your music choices. Perfect mushroom music. Quirky, fun, fairy-tale feel.
Thank you
Thank you for showing those beautiful mushrooms! Very nice and inspiring presentation ❤😊
As we are getting near the end of summer im super excited to see the videos you make during fall!! Keep it up with the amazing informational content
Lots of good information. Thank you!
Got a second flush of Agaricus Augustus starting at sea level in the north Puget Sound and I couldn't be happier.
Supperefracalisti that was a good show. That would be a good song video that you should show. With wife and girls
Thanks. I like your short videos
Just found a nice little patch of button chanties in Bremerton today!
Aaron, another amazing video. Thank you.
In August! Awesome! Gunner is looking amazing. He's so shiny 😊

Woa mushrooms in August? Definitely not in our 9a California sierra’s!
At 18:28 the teeth under the bleeding mushroom remind me of decorations on the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

No way I just found my first today as well 🤯
Was out MTBing and found about 3lbs of Chanterelles today!
@@pmichaelhayes they're out there like crazy right now in the PNW
The velvet-footed pax in my area of New England typically have a fuzzy black stem.
Yeah, they do here too.🤙

I think I have deer mushrooms in my garden then! 😮😮😮
What elevation are you foraging at?
❤❤❤❤❤
If you dye your wool sweater with the Dyer's polypore will the sweater also glow under UV light?
Good question! I'll have to ask Sidnee.
