Great video! Just a heads up, all of the studies show that pulling a mushroom out of the ground has no bad effects on the mycelium. In fact, they found more mushrooms returned the following year where the mushroom was pulled from the ground vs cut. The idea of cutting a mushroom to protect the mycelium is a wives tale that hipsters made up.
Was going to comment the same and add "mushrooms don't have roots". Please, if you're trying to educate people on mushrooms convey the right information... Or at least say the correct terms instead of using misleading words to dumb it down for Dick and Jane. I'm hoping she was just trying to dumb it down and I hope she really does know mushrooms don't have roots.
@@jared3519 If you're an educator, you should be educated in what information you're passing on... Otherwise, you're participating in idiocracy. Sure it's ok to not know fungi don't have "roots", but it's sort of an insult to the educators who invest a lot of time, energy and funding to help people understand the world of fungi when someone puts out an "educational" video passing on misinformation.

@@freejojoey530 I would argue that it's not misinformation at all, and claiming it is such is useless pedantry.

Language works and has always worked by analogy, and ergo, there is absolutely nothing wrong with describing mycelium as the "roots" of a fungus.

Pro tip; instead of cooking off the liquid, pour it into a cup as it comes out at intervals. Then use the mushroom liquid along with water to cook your risotto.
Chanterelles and most other shrooms reabsorb their liquid within 5-10 min of cooking so unless someone is cooking in water vs. pan frying, I say just wait and let them reabsorb their liquids.
@@MKpixelfan this! I was going to say, if you wait a little bit, they soak all that loving goodness back up! *Don’t drain!!** Gordon doesn’t drain his shrooms 🤷🏻♂️
I've got a rat terrier named Rosie, she started finding mushrooms when she was a tiny pup. She loves to find Chanterelle's, Murells, Chicken of the Woods, and Oysters. she also finds Truffels. It weird, I didn't teach or train her for this, she just does it on her own. But when Rosie is in the woods, your going to get mushrooms well, and Squirrels.
Great video. Just a tip though to new mushroom hunters: Chants don't actually have gills, they have 'false gills' which are actually more like ridges. Smooth chanterelles actually have none, or minimal, ridging. The toxic lookalike that does have actual gills is the jack-o-lantern (that mushroom has the true gills, not the false ones or 'ridges'). Cute video though. Chants are my favorite. I am lucky enough to live in an area where we have found a couple spots that produce so many chanterelles that we can't ever actually harvest and process them all. So I've shared the locale with a couple trusted family members. For some reason it didn't produce last year (2020, go figure!), but the year before we ended up with a good 20 or so lbs of chants, and that was after-processing weight, and we had so many that we didn't even harvest as much as we could've! Already this year we are finding them popping up this first week of July, so it looks like a great season. I plan on stocking for the winter, but some people also will purchase them.
Best mushroom sauce on the planet: Cut chanterelle mushrooms and onion into small pieces, cook them with good quality butter. Add salt, pepper. After about 10 min add cream (not sure what you call it in the USA, but it is milk with high amount of fat, usually 35%, and you make whipped cream out of it) and melted cheese :D Again, not sure how it is called in the states, but it is a soft cheese that you can smear on bread. Cook for 1-2 more minutes and it is done. Enjoy ;)
03:30 Mushrooms do not have root systems and are simply the fruit body of a huge network of mycelium under the ground. It is not necessary to cut them and you can just pull them out. It is advantages to know when to cut them to keep clean and tidy and when to pull them for the most food possible. The ONLY reason to cut them from the ground is to stay clean!
As I said above - cutting them off vs twisting them out from the mycelium will eventually kill the whole network in that area. Once you twist them out, then you can cut off the soiled end.
Plastic bags are not recommended for mushroom picking, Wicker basket are more suited for the job (they allow the spores to come out of it during the searching inside of the forest, since it has holes)
Agreed...cut or pick is no better or worse to the Mycelium. You do less damage by not stepping carelessly or roughly disturbing the ground near the mushrooms. Also, the Chanterelle has very little spores. So if you want to help them in following years, cut those older ones you find into pieces and spread them around where you've found them. This better serves them and you, as more of them should return to the same spot.
Wild Grit, a good name for an earthy girl. I think you have enough natural pizzazz that you don't need pumpkin spice. I found a good buy for wild Chanterelles at Costco.
This is very helpful, I want to do more mushroom hunting this summer in PA/NY. My tip for you would be if you go in the rain to wear a pair of latex gloves in your size..to keep your hands dry and warm especially if you hunt in the fall.
@@Christian-ig2vg luckily we live in western Ukraine and we get the least amount of rockets here. But within the country in general it's horrible. Civilians are killed by hundreds daily.

As a long-time mushroom forager, I know from experience that cutting the mushrooms off at the base will eventually kill the underlying mycelium. The open-cut top exposes the network under the soil to bacteria and other pathogens that can and will harm the mycelium. I was cutting them off at the base for years, and eventually, they stopped coming back. Now I have switched to gently twisting them out of the ground, which allows the underlying network to remain unexposed to pathogens. They have a natural pinch-point at the base underneath the soil, and when you twist them out, this is where they break off. Its seals off the mycelial body.
Loved your video! Gonna try it out this season. I know a place some fishing buddies showed me, not sure if they were hunting chanterelles or something else orange. Anyways, keep up the fun videos, and yes use reusable bags for sure!!!
I’ve been wanting to try chanterelles for a very long time and my local grocery store got some recently... thank you for this video. Beautiful home btw
Here is Wisconsin, we have Morels. I don't eat mushrooms, but I will hunt for them from time to time. Fun fact: Where ever you find Morels growing, Ginseng is always growing around it.
Chanterelles sounds like a singing group from the door woo era . ....And now on stage the Chanterelles..... ooooohhh sha dupe dooby doo oooh sha dupe dooby wah..... in the forest.. Evergreen.... there's a mushroom, that tastes good steamed , bright orange like Bert Raccons sweeter, Calis a chef and a go getter . In the Evergreen forest sha dupe dooby wah.....

Nice Vid! Just a comment, picking up mushroom won't harm too bad the mycelium if you do it properly (without damagind the soil around the mushroom). The main issue of cutting mushroom is that some other molds might infect the chunk of mushroom left behind. This contamination can make the mycelium die :x. There's no silver bullet, but if you choose to cut mushroom, please try to leave the smallest amount of mushroom on the ground :). PS: Avoid plastic bags, some mushrooms can become toxic when they're carried in such containers. Prefer bags made of fabric or better a wicker basket
Nice video. I like your forest foraging. :) I had to tell you- there is a buttered version, that includes a secret seasoning in Sweden- elite restaurant, but, minimalistic... didn't guess the herb-yet. But, god... not parsley... sth. Else!
Oh yes, you should show your audience, how to make a nice "Jägerschnitzel", using pork or beef or veil or game, and of course chanterelle mushrooms and potatoes.
Greetings from Scotland 🤗 I just picked my first batch of Chantrelles & wanted to check they are right. Your video is entertaining & helpful. Now I'm sure they aren't the false type, I checked! I'm off to cook them just like you did. 👍🏻 Why do I feel a bit nervous about them? Perhaps I'm scared they will upset my stomach.. I remember my Dad used to Hunt them here & cook with garlic & tomatoes. Wish me luck! 🤞 It's the start of chanterelle Season here , most are quite small. 🐱☯️🌌🏴
I've never been nervous about picking them, but that's mainly because I've been eating Chanterelles my whole life! Best of luck and I hope you enjoy them!
It's the way we do it in the mountains of Pennsylvania....I Make many videos just for fun. under : Bouncer Slab : with the eagle Avatar. This is my experimental new channel. 👍😁 FYI ...you are a beautiful woman. Thank you for your kindness.
Here is a recipe my parents did a few times: some sort of game, like deer, a sauce made from the game's resulting baking juice and cream, black pepper, salt, potatoes, and chanterelles and parsley. Search online for photos and recipes of "Jägerschnitzel".
There are 2 theories in US about the mushroom picking and how to pick but chanterelles don't have to be cut or you're losing a ton of leg wasting the expensive, valuable shroom. You can put your fingers down towards the ground, grabbing GENTLY around the chanterelle crown and holding onto the leg as you twist in place then as you feel it loose, pull up. The bigger it is, the easier it pops. Unlike many other mushrooms, Chanterelles and Boletes pop off from mycelium base and you won't damage the root system. By the time the mushrooms are growing on the surface, all of the spores have been "planted" for the season so you are actually doing the mycelium a favor instead of leaving the now injured part to rot first or be eaten by bugs. I grew up in Europe picking mushrooms and have never seen eastern Europeans do what Americans are doing (you are overthinking this) with cutting off chanterelles or boletes like that. The trick is to lower an open hand/palm down as if you're going to grab the cap but then go down as lower as possible with your open hand so you can grab the stem at the very base of the mycelium and twist it out to pop it. Some go deep, follow the stem. Try it and see how clean this is and you won't do anything to the mycelium 'IF YOU DO THIS RIGHT' -slow and steady, gently hold the stem base without crashing the stem itself in your fingers focusing more on the base cap itself that's thicker when you grab and twist, so push down without crashing and disturbing. I think this whole cutting method is simply not trusting that people can do the twist method right but chopping it off is wasteful, I've seen so many videos where people are just taking the crowns (insane) may invite more bugs and more issues especially during a rainy season than what you think will happen when you twist off. Mycelium is strong yet fragile and most of the damage people do is on the way towards the mushrooms they see and when they're leaving the area stepping over the soil or flipping their shoes around so when you see an area with mushrooms, stop...take a broader look first, assess the area and follow the shrooms as these usually grow in clusters but also in rows either following trees and their root systems or where water flows down the slopes so don't rush towards the first mushroom you see....stop, look down at your feet in case somethings right in front of you, scan from left to right, focus on the chanterelle so your eyes adjust, only then proceed so you don't kill babies on your way to the large ones. But I digress. I would never cut off losing an inch or more of stem as I find it wasteful with such expensive mushroom that take long time to grow, appreciate them, value them, honor them. This also applies to Boletes, and other shrooms that have a distinct bulb or bump at the base: push down gently, twist and pop as you pull, if it doesn't want to come up, lower your hands to look for the actual base where the mushrooms grows out of the mycelium. If you are picking up too much dirt or actually see white mycelium hanging off the shroom then you're doing it wrong. All others that have thin stems and spindly long legs you might have to cut simply because they are too delicate to twist or their root system is more webbed with the soil and mycelium so they will get ruined on the way up and it's impossible to pull them up without pulling up mycelium.
You forgot to mention that a basket in many European countries is a must. So you can spread the spores as you continue collecting them. A plastic bag!!!! Come on....
Just had some for breakfast this morning here in New Hampshire. Cooked them with onions and eggs. They grow right in my back yard. Ooops I told you where my secret spot is. I will just keep a look out for a maroon knitted hat.
New Supporter ✌ 😎💖 please stay connected. A beautiful woman picking my favorite Mushrooms In the woods with a cute fur baby...🐕 You stole my heart of kindness.
Love the vid and I know you dont want to wash but dry brush the shrooms... however... when I had a lot of harvest I too washed a bunch and they still turn out good, but they fry/cook much better if you brush, less water in the pan and Im sure your up on that and there is always that one soiled mushroom you just have to wash anyway Im rambeling.. awesome vid from a fellow northwest meandering mush-roomer. Btw my mom and my family have a chantrelle recipee its been in my family since I dont know when..that will leave you wanting more its so good hit me up if you want it.
a guy in another video said true chantrelles smells fruity and the false ones burned rubber.and the false was yellow inside too.true ones was white inside.
Chantarel mushrooms cannot be put on a cold pan because they will boil and will be like gum, a small amount of chantarel and a small amount of oil for frying at high temperature all the juice will remain in the mushrooms and will be crispy
After a long hike through rough terrain, I finally found some! They were nestled deep within a costco for 15.99 per pound! Thanks for the cool video!

Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! Happy mushrooming.
❤❤❤❤
Here is a recipe my parents did a few times:
some sort of game, like deer, a sauce made from the game's resulting baking juice and cream, black pepper, salt, potatoes, and chanterelles and parsley. Search online for photos and recipes of "Jägerschnitzel".
YOUR MUSHROOM CALL WORKED
Haha nice slide!
Those look delicious!
There are 2 theories in US about the mushroom picking and how to pick but chanterelles don't have to be cut or you're losing a ton of leg wasting the expensive, valuable shroom. You can put your fingers down towards the ground, grabbing GENTLY around the chanterelle crown and holding onto the leg as you twist in place then as you feel it loose, pull up. The bigger it is, the easier it pops. Unlike many other mushrooms, Chanterelles and Boletes pop off from mycelium base and you won't damage the root system. By the time the mushrooms are growing on the surface, all of the spores have been "planted" for the season so you are actually doing the mycelium a favor instead of leaving the now injured part to rot first or be eaten by bugs.
I grew up in Europe picking mushrooms and have never seen eastern Europeans do what Americans are doing (you are overthinking this) with cutting off chanterelles or boletes like that. The trick is to lower an open hand/palm down as if you're going to grab the cap but then go down as lower as possible with your open hand so you can grab the stem at the very base of the mycelium and twist it out to pop it. Some go deep, follow the stem. Try it and see how clean this is and you won't do anything to the mycelium 'IF YOU DO THIS RIGHT' -slow and steady, gently hold the stem base without crashing the stem itself in your fingers focusing more on the base cap itself that's thicker when you grab and twist, so push down without crashing and disturbing.
I think this whole cutting method is simply not trusting that people can do the twist method right but chopping it off is wasteful, I've seen so many videos where people are just taking the crowns (insane) may invite more bugs and more issues especially during a rainy season than what you think will happen when you twist off. Mycelium is strong yet fragile and most of the damage people do is on the way towards the mushrooms they see and when they're leaving the area stepping over the soil or flipping their shoes around so when you see an area with mushrooms, stop...take a broader look first, assess the area and follow the shrooms as these usually grow in clusters but also in rows either following trees and their root systems or where water flows down the slopes so don't rush towards the first mushroom you see....stop, look down at your feet in case somethings right in front of you, scan from left to right, focus on the chanterelle so your eyes adjust, only then proceed so you don't kill babies on your way to the large ones.
But I digress. I would never cut off losing an inch or more of stem as I find it wasteful with such expensive mushroom that take long time to grow, appreciate them, value them, honor them. This also applies to Boletes, and other shrooms that have a distinct bulb or bump at the base: push down gently, twist and pop as you pull, if it doesn't want to come up, lower your hands to look for the actual base where the mushrooms grows out of the mycelium. If you are picking up too much dirt or actually see white mycelium hanging off the shroom then you're doing it wrong. All others that have thin stems and spindly long legs you might have to cut simply because they are too delicate to twist or their root system is more webbed with the soil and mycelium so they will get ruined on the way up and it's impossible to pull them up without pulling up mycelium.
You forgot to mention that a basket in many European countries is a must. So you can spread the spores as you continue collecting them. A plastic bag!!!! Come on....
Just had some for breakfast this morning here in New Hampshire. Cooked them with onions and eggs. They grow right in my back yard. Ooops I told you where my secret spot is. I will just keep a look out for a maroon knitted hat.
Oooh yummy! Thanks for the FYI. I guess I'll have to disguise myself by wearing a different hat during my grand theft chanterelle heists!

Love the vid and I know you dont want to wash but dry brush the shrooms... however... when I had a lot of harvest I too washed a bunch and they still turn out good, but they fry/cook much better if you brush, less water in the pan and Im sure your up on that and there is always that one soiled mushroom you just have to wash anyway Im rambeling.. awesome vid from a fellow northwest meandering mush-roomer. Btw my mom and my family have a chantrelle recipee its been in my family since I dont know when..that will leave you wanting more its so good hit me up if you want it.
Thanks
Legend!

Hi we are in ireland, lots of moss here but we cant find any chanterelles can you give any tips ? I think we are looking in the wrong place.

I think you need to look under Douglas fir trees.
You seem like my dream girl 😍
You’re hilarious and cute. Nice video!

I like the way you like simple life. I wish I can be your friend :-)
Thank you! At least can be TH-cam friends!
Wow! Those are some of the biggest chanterelles I've ever seen. Nice! I guess I'll have to work on that call.
omg this vid has a lot of effort
Would have been nice to do a little flambé with some wine.
Chantarel mushrooms cannot be put on a cold pan because they will boil and will be like gum, a small amount of chantarel and a small amount of oil for frying at high temperature all the juice will remain in the mushrooms and will be crispy
Nice ride 😊👍
