Foraging for Matsutake mushrooms is an exciting venture into the heart of forests, typically in coniferous regions. Here's a description to guide you through this unique experience:
Seasonal Exploration: Matsutake mushrooms thrive in specific seasons, usually in autumn. As you embark on your foraging adventure, head to mature coniferous forests, often pine or fir-dominated, where these prized mushrooms are more likely to be found.
Identifying Habitat: Look for signs of Matsutake-friendly environments. These mushrooms have a mycorrhizal relationship with certain tree species, so pay attention to the types of trees in the area. Needles, fallen leaves, and a distinctive forest aroma may signal a suitable habitat.
Eagle-Eyed Observation: Matsutake mushrooms are known for their ability to blend with the forest floor. Train your eyes to spot their distinctive features-white to light brown caps, firm stalks, and a spicy aroma. Their appearance often resembles pinecones or young pine trees.
Gentle Harvesting: When you spot a Matsutake, use a small knife or foraging tool to carefully cut the stem at ground level. Handle the mushrooms delicately to preserve their quality.
Collecting in Baskets or Mesh Bags: Use baskets or mesh bags to allow spores to disperse as you collect. This sustainable approach contributes to the ecosystem by spreading the spores and supporting future mushroom growth.
Record and Learn: Take note of the specific environment where you find Matsutake mushrooms. Understanding the ecological conditions and the trees in the area can enhance your foraging success in subsequent outings.
Local Regulations: Be aware of foraging regulations in your area. Some locations may have restrictions to protect ecosystems, and it's crucial to respect these guidelines.
Cooking and Enjoying: Matsutake mushrooms are highly prized in culinary traditions, particularly in Japanese cuisine. Once you've collected your bounty, explore various recipes to savor their unique flavor and aroma.
Matsutake foraging is not just a means of obtaining a prized ingredient; it's a journey into the heart of nature, where you become attuned to the subtleties of the forest ecosystem. Remember to forage responsibly, leaving minimal impact on the environment while enjoying the thrill of discovering these elusive
Oh I see now you’re in Washington! Best mushroom hunting anywhere I imagine ❤
Yes since our state is such a wet and moist state we have lots of mushrooms 🍄🟫 🍄
The forest is my therapy
Yes mine too 🙏🙏
Yep, I love to smell matsutake mushroom too. The scent had such a nice aroma. Haven't had matsutake for a decade now.
That’s so awesome to hear! I’m glad I’m not the only one that enjoys their smell lol. Thank you for watching
So true to look up and stay aware of where you are going. Last weekend some friends of mine blew their whistle on (2) occasions at GPNF. I was barely able to hear it, and luckily was able to call them in. They will be getting a GPS soon.
Yes that’s a very good idea to have a GPS with you. Thank you so much for watching and cheers
21:21 There's some nice ones under that log!
Good eyes! Yes for sure 😃
Great video! I can relate to so much. .
1. Filming yourself is the worst
2. I like picking with no gloves cus I can feel it all but yeah your nails and trashed and mine is worse cus I have claws for nails lol
3. Getting lost is a BIG one
Oh and creepy crawly’s or worse poop ahahha. I don’t mind seeing deer poop tho. I know I’m close to Pines when I see deer poop haha
Yes I totally agree with ya on filming yourself because it takes the joy away from you actually enjoying finding them rather trying to record and get a good footage. Yup when there’s deer poop there’s usually pine mushrooms near by and cheers my friend to a great pine mushroom this year!
Wow so amazing 😊I wish to go out there and pick them some 😊
Thank you so much and this year there’s so many of pine mushrooms 🍄
Hello watching from Manila Philippines ❤
Hello and thank you so much my friend. Cheers! 🙏

Thank you for watching and they are my favorite as well 😃🙏
Nothing better than wild eating ❤#Goals #MushroomFantasies
Yes and thank you for your time. Have you pick for these mushrooms before?
@@washingtonlife I have not. I live in southwest Michigan and not sure if we have them here.
@@washingtonlife it’s Morel season here now. Just starting. I bet you get massive ones there? Where are you actually?
@@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786 oh I see and unfortunately they are only in Canada, the PNW and Japan. What mushrooms do you harvest for over there?
@@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786 yes we have huge morels here but I’m not much a fan of them so I never hunt for them. I’m in Washington state
If your interested in more. Hood canal has shown me love once the mountains end... there is fully a flush coming again.. I have not been out this year. But I know how too forecast well. I spent a whole season on the field one year.. 3 months...
Thank you so much and this year has been so plentiful for everyone. I appreciate you giving me another area to harvest some and cheers my friend 🙏🍄🍄
It is very easy to get lost looking down! I’ve done it several times and had to call my husband for help😂
Yes and it can get pretty worry some
Wow thats alot of mushrooms! Question ?? You dig sone up sn show them sll?
Do you dig an take them all?? Or do you just find and expose to show?
Both I find and expose to show and the big ones I take home and eat. The ones I expose I will bury them back. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Cheers!
🍄🍄❤
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video 🙏
New friend watching from Denmark 🇩🇰 I really want to learn how those mushrooms a low to eat or not to eaten?
Hello new friend! Thank you for tuning in and yes you have to be very carful when foraging for mushrooms because there are a lot of look alike and some can be very harmful or fatal. I been picking these mushrooms almost my entire life and if you’re new I would highly suggest you to do lots of studying on them and going out with a mushroom guide that can help you identify certain mushrooms 🍄
I saw a show years back and They were using a Dog ?? I have to say
You are a100 & 10 % BETTER then the DOG .... HAHAHA Stay Dry , Stay Warm ....
Yea I saw that show too and they were using the dogs to help them find truffles. Before people were using pigs but the pigs kept eating the truffles so they start using dogs. I wonder if anyone use dogs to find these mushrooms since they have a very nice unique scent to them. Thank you my friend for watching my videos and I always look forward to reading your comments 😃. Cheers! 🙏
Your RIGHT I remember that now , it's
either ''''OLD AGE or JIM BEAM ''' .....
Brain isn't so Fast anymore ....
Just moved to WA. Are you going to do a video that shows how to prep and cook them?
Yes I made a few videos on how I cook them and here’s the link to one of the videos th-cam.com/video/g-WiktKmh50/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3U_U48R_VmLGTedc
He does on his video tabs
You should go mushroom hunting with a partner for safety reasons. Many people have died in the forest alone.
Yes I do sometimes and thank you 🙏
I agree so you have someone to help you out if anything ever goes south
I live in north Vermont, I go all the time in pine forest looking for that kind but can’t find ,I think maybe not grow threw, but I’m looking in 2-4 different woods but still no luck 😢
I don’t think you guys have pine mushrooms over there. I only heard they grow in the PNW and Canada. Thank you for watching
@@washingtonlife 😢😩
@@markizanochi65 do you have Chanterelle Mushrooms over there?
AWW IM SO SORRY THAT YOU GOT LOST IN THE FOREST ONE TIME !!🥺🥺 ONE I GOT SIMILLAR EXPERIENCE,MAYBE TEVEN TWO TIMES. ONCE I WAS LOOKING FOR THESE YELLOW MUSHROOMS THE SAME AS IN YOUR VIDEOS AND I WAS SEARCHING FOR THEM ! THEN I WALKED,WALKED AND I GOT OUT OF FOREST IN THE FAR AWAY DIRECTION, I COME OFF THE FOREST IN THE ROAD AND I WALKED TO MY FRIEND'S CAR LIKE ALMOST KILOMETTER BACK! I ALSO GOT LOST OF SENSE OF DIRECTION SO I COME OFF THE FOREST SO FAR AWAY😅🤣 ! ANYWAYS DO YOU HAVE A GUN ? WHAT KIND OF GUN IS IT IF I CAN KNOW ? THE VIDEO WAS SO AMAZING ❤❤❤❤
You need to bring a big knife to help your self to pick the mushroom
Yes I do thank you 🙏
I wish I can eat one of those mushroom 😭
I’d love to know your soup recipe
Have you seen my catch and cook video on razor clams? Here’s my video th-cam.com/video/m3CJnH28Lto/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y84iqkxgLcRrIuy3
I've got 25 years of patches from peak to canal.. we should connect... my picking buddy passed away 2 years ago. I have stayed home but need to get out ...
Yes you definitely need to get out and find these fun and delicious mushrooms again my friend 😃🍄🍄🍄
Wow, awesome picks
Are you on the coast, or a little more inland?
I'm in BC and would love to find some here
I’m more inland and thank you so much for watching
@@washingtonlife thanks, approximate elevation?
@@EricMilewski 2500 and up 👍
thanks you! @@washingtonlife
@@EricMilewski anytime my friend and good luck out there!
I want to see how you pick and put it in your basket not just taking vedio
I pick in my other videos when I do a catch and cook. The reason I don’t pick these because I only pick enough for eating and I don’t want to waste them. If you like to see my catch and cook, let me know and I will send you the link to the video. Thank you for your time
What does the number mean? Is #1 the size or quality? Thx for sharing
The size of the mushrooms and also quality 👍👍
I like to use a garden guru to dig my matsutake so it comes out nice and pretty, not broken.
Yes I agree using a tool is super good and keeps your hands and fingers from getting all dirty. For some reason I enjoy digging them with my hands
I love mushroom, but never tried matsutake before. Is it that good?
It’s one of my favorite mushrooms to eat and yes they are delicious. Thank you for watching
Do they smell like cucumbers?
No more like cinnamon and wet socks. Thank you for watching and cheers
Why Asian guys always keep their pinky nail so long like yours. I know they use it to pick their nose and that’s so gross
Lol no I do not use it to pick my nose lmao 🤣
True. Especially the countryside guys and girls.
I can't handle seeing so many matsutakes in your videos, it's just too much, I'll have to unsubscribe 😂
Lol thank you so much bro for watching and cheers my friend
🤣🤣🤣
Bože, ten má protivný hlas, už jen tím, že neustále mele a mele. Někdy znamená méně více.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
