Hunting WILD Mushrooms in Alaska - Life in Alaska

Every fall, many Alaskans are on the hunt for wild edible mushrooms. Jenn had an opportunity to go with our mushroom expert friend Asia. As always, it was another ALASKAN ADVENTURE!

I loved the little camera punch in the intro

[@RonnieFoFonnie]

Great vid, Jenn. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Thank you!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Thanks for the educational video. We stayed at an RV camp in the Wasilla Palmer area and were fortunate to find King Boletes while there.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Of course! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ravenousjm]

Enjoyed the video, nice to see from Jen's perspective for a change! Looks like a day well spent.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Thank you and it was!

[@jillyandavis8891]

Interesting and enjoyable, well done Jenn.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Thank you!

Moose are awesome! Majestic

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Yes they are!

[@saigeharrison3450]

Awesome! Next time, mushrooms 😉

[@seekcamera2638]

I think the best bear spray is .44 caliber

[@estelam4943]

Nice woods! Blessings 😃

[@jennbozard4613]

So I’m not as good with the camera as you are... but what an experience!

[@BozardsInAlaska]

🤣 You did great honey!

[@truckerbaty7425]

This lady needs to make like a field guide... I would buy it!

[@patriciarussell7487]

Those moose mushrooms!!!!!!💙

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Mooseshrooms!

[@wolfmantroy6601]

What part of the state are you ladies picking in? I live near Denali Park entrance and McKinley Village. Do you ever pick Cantwell?

[@tanyamarie248]

Hey it's Katelyn! Tanya McDonalds daughter. What time does church start ? Also, I love this video im thinking about going mushroom hunting in the future. I don't really like mushrooms but I think it's so satisfying to find your own food.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

10am :) Can’t wait to meet you!

[@marygrace124]

You did a great job Jenn!! What color dye would that lichen make?

[@BozardsInAlaska]

From Asia: With Lobaria Oregana you get a range of lovely browns. You can shift the color a bit by changing your mordants for mushrooms only. Learn more about dyeing with lichen and mushrooms in the book by reading Bessette’s book A Rainbow Beneath my Feet: A Mushroom Dyers Field Guide

[@marygrace124]

Thanks!

Look where Forrest fires were the year before to find morels. There are false morels in AK but next to each other they are easy to tell apart.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Great insight. Thank you!

[@akbychoice]

Yes, the fall of smell. When the berries get pungent, the one smell of fall I don’t like. The wood structure might be a cubby set for catching lynx.

[@akbychoice]

You can use the old blackened mushrooms for dyeing traps too. Use to use walnut husks for dyeing traps.

[@BozardsInAlaska]

Wow! So interesting! Always appreciate your AK knowledge

[@akbychoice]

BozardsInAlaska wish I was still there.

I love eating g cranberries of the plant. Don't be so ignorant
