Food for the soul! Still cannot get over fruiting around crispy leaves, and that owl, what a strong expression, they are something else! It's funny, when you say Barred owl, I thought you said Bard owl, and I just googled and saw I got the spelling wrong, but at the same time, a Bard is a poet, which is quite fitting too I think!
I know it! Quite strange to be walking across dried out moss and leaves and still come across chanterelles... quite the surprise every time! And that's pretty funny about "bard" ... I agree ... quite fitting! This one's favorite verse is "Who cooks for you, who cooks for yooou alllllll?"
@@MushroomTrail haha! I love that! Great way to remember the call, and it's nice of the owl to enquire if everyone's getting a cooked meal. ...I saw some crispy looking Mnium hornum in there. I think so many of the mosses cross-over to species here don't they? You should totally add more moss mentions in the late autumn/winter, when they are all starting to fruit out, and everything is super green. Be interesting to see the diversity.
I totally agree - such an incredible array of mosses here. That is always on my list as an area to deepen my knowledge of. I believe that those may be a slightly different species, but there are SO many fascinating mosses lurking out here in the PNW forests. Great suggestion - and I'll work to add those into those autumn/winter vids for sure! 👍
I'm glad to see that the mushrooms are still thriving, even as we get into the peak of summer. C. cantharellus and C. roseocanus are thriving apparently - I watched Aaron's video showcasing some June Chanterelles a few weeks ago, so I got out there, and I found a whole new patch! Was not expecting that! I think we're in for an interesting fall mushroom season, I'm excited to see what you'll be showcasing then!
Thanks a bunch! Always appreciate you tuning in - and appreciate your kind words of encouragement! Hope you're having good luck out there in your local forest! 🍄
That's exactly right!😂 Crazy how often I stumble across huge flushes when unprepared ... definitely much better to just err on the side of always being prepared! Haven't gotten a chance to check in on my favorite lobster patches yet, but that has definitely been on my mind! Have you come across any yet this season?
@@MushroomTrail Checked one of my Lobster spots last week with no luck, Chanterelle spot was a bust too. Hopefully we get some more rain this summer🤞 Have a camping trip in Gifford in the Mount Adams area coming up, so will be able to check some spots around there.
Nice - let me know how Gifford treats you! It is incredibly dry out in my local spots right now - we got the slightest mist a couple days ago, and that seemed to be enough to push out a couple more small chanterelles (not sure how they're doing it!) I still have to get out to my Lobster spot to take a look ...
Tricholoma equestre is such a fascinating mushroom to me in the same vein as Pleurocybella porrigens in the way mushrooom edibility isn't as clear cut of a question as most people would like.
I totally agree! There is such a long history of human consumption (medieval times or earlier), but this one has definitely gotten a lot of bad press in modern times. I've heard quite a few mixed opinions on it. Interesting to note too that modern taxonomy has suggested that our PNW version is in the "Tricholoma equestre group", but is not the exact same species that the common name suggests (ie the "true" Tricholoma equestre is European). The South Vancouver Island Mycological Society posted a really interesting article entitled "Pacific Northwest Tricholomas: Are We Using the Right Names?" It seems like a relatively complicated group.
A voice like an angel, we're all very lucky. I sometimes play this in the background when I'm working.
Thanks Sean - happy to be able to assist with bringing a little calm into the work flow!
Thanks for taking us along this mushroom walk 🍄🟫🚶🏻➡️🍃🌞
My pleasure - thanks for coming along! 🍄
Thank you so much for your educational videos! ❤️
You are very welcome! Thanks for tuning in - can't wait to get the next video out your way!

@@MushroomTrail Awesome! Bryophytes rule! 😃

Keep up the VERY good work.....

Never leave home without a bag! 😅
Fantastic video as always, thanks for bringing me along. Have you seen any lobsters yet this year?

We live on the Olympic peninsula. What location are you looking in during this video? Thank you
I am east of the Puget Sound and West of the Cascades, at low elevation.
