Walking around many Georgia trails over the past years and I Haven't seen half of these. Even walking down the chattahooche and still havent seen many of these
Just recently learned that our land which we thought was too terrible to plant on is great for mushrooms, there’s a large group of chanterelles and a bunch of different kinds of milk caps. Still not too sure of myself to eat anything but the chanterelles lmao.
Those growths are called galls. They are caused by gall wasps that damage the tree and insert their young into them. The galls that grow serve to protect the young, then the nymphs will drop down into the leaf litter around the tree and once adults they will repeat the process. Fun fact, almost every type of tree has a gall wasp species specific to that tree.
I live in Athens… all of these are recognizable but I’m a beginner with ID. My concrete knowledge stops with chanterelles and even that knowledge is quite limited. Do you have a Georgia or southeast specific field guide you’d recommend?
No, it’s easier to learn what is edible and avoid everything else. Most of these are Bolete genus (porcini). Learn, maitake, chicken of the woods, oyster, and Bolete since you already know chanterelle
We’re all crazy 😝, some of us are just a little better at self education and discipline than others. I always say don’t believe a word i say. So, do your own research and stay safe and healthy foraging 🍄.
That is absolutely not a destroying angel! You have the genus correct, but the species looks to be either cokeri or pyramidifera. The destroying angels are extremely smooth and can feature an annulus (Amanita bisporigera) or a felt ring (Amanita magnivelaris)
I have been placing dirty or old chantrelles around white oaks poplar black walnuts this year... I wonder if I'll see any pop up in the years to come... Have you ever seen chantrelles pop up where you've placed them? just curious lol
I’m sure it is possible to establish a mycelium network among oak trees. It would probably work better if they were buried. You could also isolate a culture on an agar plate and transfer it to wood chips to start a new patch.
I've seen similar (a little different color and size) growths on sumac and elderberry which turned out to be an insect cocoon. Being those had the silky fiber inside I might be inclined to think these were bug blisters...?
Well, no one gives their spots up, but look around lakes and rivers. That’s the best advise I can give without revealing the exact location. Look for trails around bodies of water.
I for one would at least like to know what sort of areas it’s OK to forage in. Like regular woods on hiking trails? Or do you go to the wilderness areas? Parks? I’m not asking anyone to give up their spot, but as a beginner, I don’t even know TYPES of areas to try.
I am not 100% sure, but the second mushroom you found, the one you called pantherina, i think it's incorrect, because pantherina has white dots and gills, that stay white from young to old.
Possibly but one species can have many different phenotypes. I’m not an expert by any means. I do know what is edible and stay away from anything I’m not 100% sure is safe. It was easier for me to learn only the edible species, I don’t pick anything white.
@@hikingmanzed1311 I think it might have been a rubescens. The coloration reminds me amanita rubescens. Or it might have also been amanita spissa. But honestly, unless you are 100% sure, never take a mushroom, so i would have just left it there also.
I have these all over my farm, I believe it to be Amanita russuloides but it could also be Amanita muscaria var. guessowii. I have made tea with them and only have experienced getting very warm to the point of sweating. This is presumably due to the specimens containing muscarine which is pretty common in all Amanitas.
Amanita’s in general scare me 😟, it’s a fear of prolonged liver failure. I know pantherina, muscaria, and carry a solution of potassium hydroxide for Id of death angels.
Awesome Video 👍 it is great to see great videos by great people. Keep up the awesome work my friend.

Awesome 😎 thank you for your time. 😁
Very informative, love it.
Just found your channel! See you at the Farmers market in April.
See you in April.

I agree once I find a new place, I’ll make time to go there and enjoy the views.

Milk caps taste ok, but are definitely not the best variety out there. Fungi hunting is addictive. Thanks for watching.
I really love that mushrooms are like tree fruit. Trees are plants with a weird fruiting process! They aren't worth clear cutting.
The pantheriums are also hallucinogenic.Much more than the muscaria, in fact and without the property that makes you foam at the mouth. I believe?
Amanita scare me, some are deadly.

Awesome, thanks for the knowledge.
I was looking for chanterelles ID and I think I'm safe. They are popping up with the rain we are having. First time shroomer.
Awesome, send me a pic on fb, my username is the same as YT.
Cool vid!
Thank you, thanks 🙏 for watching.
Great vid
Thank you😀

Radical man! I'm in Woodstock this week, visiting from CO. Are there any particular areas around that I may find some goodies?
Wish there were, you’ll have to go to Fl, or SC to find anything similar around the SE👍😋
I live in Marietta area. Does turkey tail and lions mane grow in this area ?
Yes they do, many lake trails have them growing nearby.👍

I usually carry a solution of potassium hydroxide to drop on them to be sure. They will immediately turn yellow when the solution is applied.

We've got several established patches of it that come back each year, and I'm curious if I can spread the spores closer to my actual house

@@hikingmanzed1311 I'll try the wood chip idea... and maybe cover it in a thin mulch layer... Thanks!

I don’t know exactly what they are, but nature is beautiful.
That’s cool
Thank you going next Sunday for the 2020 trip.
Im in north georgia as well (dahlonega) and have been doing my own research but would be greatly appreciative of any decent spots to start looking.

Did you ever figure out that weird fungusly looking stuff on the Sumac was?
Nope, never heard anything about it.
Hey I was wondering if you eat any milk cap mushrooms in north ga and what kind? I'm new to mushrooms and was wanting to learn more. Thanks.
I don’t personally, but there are some edible species.
