Mr. Hilliard, much appreciation and props for your highlighting of the wonderland that is our home here in the P. N.W. If I may, I know you are working your craft, I would suggest an upgraded camera mounted mic or Bluetooth mics for the guests, e.g. the ever so quiet Mr. Rockefeller. It's been fun to watch the two of you become closer friends as the vibes are much more natural just geeking out in the rain forest in which we abide. Thanks again.
I live in Washington just outside of Shelton city limits, very close to Oakland Bay on over 5 acres with a year round creek. I'm amazed at the huge variety of mushrooms, jellies, mosses and lichen. On every trek around this little piece of heavenly temperate rainforest I find something new and interesting. 😊 I thoroughly enjoyed this vid, thanks guys!
Foraging for healthy edible Mushrooms is my passion and it provides the necessary exercise for my old bones. My family enjoys it as well but I think they like the delicious meals more. 🤔😁
its so funny bc when i saw the completed meal, thats exactly what i eat for a meal every week. different mushroom types tho but on the same line. you guys rock loved this vid
I just started my mushroom foraging journey, bought lots of books and pocket guides and now watching a ton of videos of foraging in the PNW. I’m beyond grateful for your videos!!! Thank you for making such entertaining and informative videos
Thank you for the video Aaron. Alan is like a rockstar. You are very similar. I'm sorry I missed you folks in PA this weekend... I was so hoping to go and get educated. Please do it again next year.
We met a old mushroom farmer from Sequim at a psms meeting, that was the first we heard of kpms, then we hear Rockefeller is doing a presentation so we joined kpms & enjoyed ourselves so much we plan to drive from Bellevue every second Thurs.
I've become a full-fledged mycophile this fall! Have been in the woods more half a dozen times just looking at mushrooms! A few varieties of boletes where I am, and shaggy manes as well. Lots of Russula. Lots of puffballs. Lots of other varieties good to eat as well. I'm hooked for life.
At home, doing identifications on Reddit, living vicariously through others and I scroll by and see my two favorite people with a new video! ❤ Love your content 😊
Working in a restaurant a few years ago I had a pretty bad allergic reaction to Porcini mushrooms. Now that I'm into mushroom foraging I just avoid boletes :(
Great video Aaron! Love everything about Alan Rockefeller! There's some Dyer's Polypore growing on a recently felled tree that I want to take our UV light out to have a look at it with. That meal clip at the end was also great. YUM!!!
I wish I had known that Dyer's polypore fluoresces under UV because I found one a few months ago here in Southern New England that was nearly 3 feet across! I'll have to buy a UV flashlight; the closest thing I have lying around is a small UV LED for curing Rapid-Fix glue!
Could watch you two all day! Really inspired by your channel this year and the last two weeks have found a Lobster patch and an amazing Chanterelle patch deep in the St. Helens area. Im hooked! Thanks!
I loved how you were the one showing Allan about that sweet crunching nostalgic sound. It’s one of the best parts when it comes to working with mushrooms, either foraging or even when cooking those perfectly plump and oh so crunchy guys. 👌 😂
Loved this one. But I have to ask the obvious -- What this the first psilocybe-produced episode of MW? :) You guys were having too much fun. I lost it when the licking began!
New sub🎉 the first mushroom, besides chicken of the woods, i ever found and harvested was the king boletes in Juneau Alaska I live in sequim ❤ i hope to see you around
Fungi are such a fascinating and varied organism. Thank you for the education. Much love ❤️ 🙏 also I wonder if the excretion of the mushroom at 11:59 are like tricombs of cannabis? For the sulfur tufts maybe that's where the term " green in the gills" as relating to sickness came from. The term probably originally came from identifying mushrooms.
Great video. The music never gets old. I love it. I know Alan gives great tips on mushroom photography but does he have any videos specific to using a phone camera?
I should make one. Alan uses his fancy camera mostly but once he saw the performance of my new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 512gb he says he needs to get one, ha!
@@mushroomwonderland1, weirdly, people have complimented me on mushroom photos I've taken with an old Samsung S9 phone and they ask me what kind of equipment I used !
It's been a very long season here in Norway, but it's approaching its end now. So I'm mildly envying your season just starting(but it'll be great to watch your videos :) )
Where are you guys? Im in Washington too near Olympia. I want to meet Alan! Im a huge fan. Dont know much about mycology but it be awesome to meet the world renounced best mycologist
I've found many different boletes but for whatever reason, I've never found porcini. So frustrating to hear people complain about the smell of so many drying porcini in their house every fall. 😅 What's funny is, I used to find them in Turkey, where the local people (Iznik area) never touched it. But they did eat Amanita caesarea. And their most popular one was Lactarius deliciosus, which I did not find to be very delicious at all. Perhaps the popularity was just because it was so abundant in the area. 🤷🏻♂️
Right on, it's been a bumper year for king boletes down here in NorCal. I swear they blow up in less than a week, it's crazy. Out of curiosity, how long does it take you to edit and get a video up after a foray?
I can edit and upload a video within 2 days after filming If I don't have a bunch of other things going on that prevent me from sitting down at the computer. Thanks for watching!
I live in SW Washington. I have a hard time finding any good bolete type mushrooms. All I find is the skinnier stem orange flesh ones that stain blue. They are everywhere here in the fall. I have searched hard, far and wide at different elevations and never found what even looks like the porcini.
@@mushroomwonderland1, I'm in Southern New England; lots of boletes and similar suillus types in the area but no Edulis so far. Every time I think I've spotted a porchini it turns out to be a bitter bolete with a slightly pinkish underside (tyropilus, is that the latin?). The commonest edible bolete lookalikes I see are scaber-stalk and chicken-fat mushrooms (both suillis, I think), and what appear to be Bay boletes, Imleria?, non-staining, slightly sticky caps that look like hamburger buns. All of these show up in mixed hardwood/conifer forests that also have lots of red, yellow and peach colored muscaria.
@@15GotEm , here in New England I only find Bolete/Suillus/Imleria mushrooms in mixed forests with conifers and hardwoods. No pines equals virtually no mushrooms. My house is surrounded by oaks, some of them dead, and the only mushrooms I find near home are Honey mushrooms.
Could you send a link to contact Kyle Cannon with nanopore that Alan mentioned, I would like to send him samples I will be undoubtedly collecting. Im from NY but Im moving to Cave Junction, Oregon. I will be there for a year, or more to help a friend set up his homestead. Looking to collaborate with local mycologists and will be walking through the woods with my sampling backpack. Would love to connect if our paths cross that would be legend
Ticks are extremely rare in western Washington. In all of my life foraging and playing in the forest I've never had one on me. Except the time I went to Minnesota. 😂
@@mushroomwonderland1, I live less than an hour's drive from THE ground Zero for Lyme disease. Ticks are an ever-present concern, although there have been almost none in my vicinity this summer, but now that the weather has turned cool we're finding them again. We have also had the most massive acorn mast flush I have ever seen, which is bound to lead to a swelling population of both deer and mice that are able to survive the winter due to the ample food supply. Ticks love cool weather, and whenever we have a winter thaw that leaves patches of open ground interspersed with snowy patches, we will find ticks on ourselves and on the dogs when we go for trail hikes. I expect next spring is going to be absolutely brutal for ticks. I took my pants legs into my socks and spray my feet and ankles with permethrin or picardin, and I inspect myself, my wife 😁 and the dogs closely when we get back home. Deer ticks and dog ticks can carry a 1/2 dozen diseases in New England including babesiosis, anaplasmosis and erlichiosis, and there is now a small Longhorn tick population a few hours southwest of me that can transmit the alpha gal meat allergy. Yikes!
I found my first patch of Amanita Muscaria on my walk to work today!!(Fife, WA) Do I just dry them completely then eat the caps? I want to use them for spiritual purposes🙏👋
You had better go to the interwebs and do a little reading about them. They're not your typical magic mushroom, they can be toxic and they need certain considerations.
@mushroomwonderland1 thank you I have been! I'm interested in them specifically for the different effect to experiment with meditation in that state, probably just try a couple grams dried for my first time
@mushroomwonderland1 also there are alot more still there (at least this morning there was) if you'd like to check them.oit let me know they are right off a sidewalk in Fife
There are other choice medicinal mushies to choose from. Why take the chance when you can find a wavy cap or an Azzie? Those 2 are far better then A.M.
@15GotEm for sure, I ended yp deciding against experimenting with the amaritas, been hunting for the others but no luck as of yet! Found alot of cool stuff and my first couple big edibles recently, been learning a ton about mycrology, hopefully soon I'll land an active patch haha🤘🙏
I tried to email both of you and after a few months, still waiting for a reply, and the same thing from Adam Harrington! Luckily I found others who were knowledgeable to help me start a business with mushrooms and I remember those who are too arrogant to help!
Who is this guy!? I can't add photos too this page. Plz find me on face book. PLZ STOP POSTING INFO TO THE PUBLIC THAT IS NOT CORRECT. I CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT PAST THE SHAGGY MANE. AND I HAVE 3 DECOMPOSING FOR ART INK as we speak❤

Beautiful mushrooms and a wide variety, Alan is a genius in the field of Mycology. Awesome video Aaron.
We just had two days of rain after not having anything substantial for the past 8+ weeks. I can’t wait to get out into the woods!🍄
Same here in se Michigan lol I’m gonna be gone all day tomorrow.
Was just thinking about a Mushroom Wonderland video, and with Alan Rockefeller a real treat. Thanks for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it!

You guys are angels. Such a great video and collaboration! The crunch on the removal of king b was the most satisfying sound of the year❤
That Alan ... never sits still!

Nice job guys! Little drummer boyz!
Phaeolus makes yellow, primarily, green with modification. And the wool you dye will be very uv reactive, like Sidnee’s henna
Working in a restaurant a few years ago I had a pretty bad allergic reaction to Porcini mushrooms. Now that I'm into mushroom foraging I just avoid boletes :(
I love mushrooms!🍄Peace and love from Port Angeles Washington ❤️🇺🇲
What forest did you take Alan to? I can’t imagine walking down a trail and running into two of my biggest mycology heroes!
Yes...do tell
Agreed I would shit!
Excellent info. Thank you fellas.
Our pleasure!
Thank you. I found Ohio Mushroom DNA Lab Diversity Project.

This was wonderful. Thanks Alan, Aaron.
Porcini (pores, older) make a lovely dye color

Amazing guys!!!❤❤❤❤
Outstanding!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very fun and interesting.
Man, it would be so fun to go out with you guys. What an experience
Becoming a big fan of your work. I also live in kitsap county. I found a huge flush of what I think is sulfur tuft. Much bigger. On green mountain.
I can't believe he got right down and licked the mushroom. 🤣
I'm up near Bellingham and am going to be going foraging tomorrow in the woods near deming, hoping for some good stuff!

Mushroom Wonderland is based in Port Orchard, but Alan is up in Canada now continuing his travels.
Dang it! Ok thanks then@@mushroomwonderland1
At 20:50, that's a "small" Dyer's polypore by my standards; I saw one here in Southern New England a few months ago that was nearly 3 feet across!
I like yet I ask am I going to grow them out of my body after I die ?
Love your videos! Can you give anymore info about the free dna sequencing that Alan talks about? I can’t find anything with a quick search
anyone tell wat brand of uv light alan is usin
