Hi Aaron! I watched your last 2 short films…! Brother, they’re funny, yes! I laughed hard enough I pissed my pants🤣 don’t eat rocks, dog poop!! Your facial expressions said it all!! Loving your channel,brother! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! And humor!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯 Mason county!!
Not saying you have to try all mushrooms that are said to be edible, but to just leave behind that charcoal burner is crazy in my mind. Even to just give it a sample. Shrimp russulas are my new favorite. Anything with a chance of having that good of a texture I would give a shot if it's a known edible. Lol, I find new favorites when I find new edible mushrooms sometimes. My last new favorite was the honey mushroom. I must admit I am a mushroom hunter because I enjoy finding new edible varieties. Rarely do I take risks though. I do a lot of research when I find new varieties, and I recommend others do the same. I feel compelled to say that "risk" is a relative term here. I would never eat a mushroom if there were any chance it was toxic. I'm really only referring to known edibles that cause gastric upset in certain individuals.
Just got in from metal detecting in Florida. seen a few Old man of the woods under some oaks, a nice flush of oyster and chicken of the woods. I can't believe they can still grow in this heat
Here in New England there trails I walk where there are lots of various russella mushrooms and scatterings of ghost pipe but I have never seen a lobster mushroom.
I found my first Chanterelles last week in Michigan. Thanks for the videos. Btw I think that was the flower the twins in The X Files used to poison their adoptive parents.
After seeing your chanterelle vid a few days ago, I got out and found a whole new patch! Still haven’t found any lobsters :( Glad to see that the mushrooms are still out right now!
Bruce Cockburn composed and recorded a lovely guitar instrumental titled "FoxGlove"; I saw him play it on TV when my little sister was watching Sesame Street. (Sesame Street was pretty hip for the time, they had Stevie Wonder, Los Lobos, and others play on the show!)
Great vids! Still be weary of ticks I live south of you by Mt St Helens we get in to ticks around here some areas are worse than others. One of our dogs got Lyme disease two years ago as well which is extremely rare around here too. But it happens.
I live in Southern New England only about an hour away from Ground Zero for Lyme disease. Some years there are so s many ticks that we find them on ourselves and on the dogs after walking the trails during a February thaw! This year there've been relatively few ticks and we've gone as long as a week or two without seeing one. Still, we are in a state of constant vigilance!
Hi Aaron, my name is AJ . I went shrooming today (8/3/24) & found some Chantrelles and I found a patch of some other mushroom that I’m not positive about. I would like to email you some shroom pics to see if you can identify them for me? Sorry I’m not on any of the other social media sites.
I found a tick on my backpack in the back of my car a few weeks ago after hunting for morels on the east side of Mount Rainier. And I had a squirrel in my yard that had 4 ticks just on her face a couple months back. I live in Pierce county. They are definitely getting worse around here.
@@jenzabell79 I remember as a kid finding an injured bunny in my yard, it had a couple of ticks on its head. But as someone who has spent their whole life running through the bushes around here in Western Washington I've never found one on myself.
@@mushroomwonderland1 yea I've never found one on myself either. But I have found them on my dog. And I found one crawling on my boyfriend's neck after he came home from hunting. They are nasty.
@@jenzabell79 I got a tick on me 3 years ago bushwhacking through the swamp looking for oysters in Kitsap county. Got quite a few mushrooms. There was a road kill deer at my neighbors house, I think a year later. It was crawling. Must have been getting close to 100. Disgusting.
Hey Aaron, really great video. Could you elaborate on why more mushrooms grow in the mountains in late summer as opposed to near sea level? Do the mountains get more rain or is it just kind of the way it is? Thanks!
it is very interesting why folks side with lobster versus the russula. russala is so abundant mostly all year in pnw. could just be aesthetics and rarity. good vid in a dry 2024 pnw
@@cjmutschler It depends on what region you're in, out east of the Rockies and down in California they associate with oak often, but we really don't have wild oak here in Western Washington very commonly, so they definitely associate with Conifer up here. Usually a different species than the oak associated ones.

Loved your Olympia college seminar and love your channel. Your efforts are mush appreciated professor funguy
Enjoyed your video much!! Thanks for the education and looking forward to finding lobster and summer chanterelles!
Great video , Heading to the Coast tomorrow for Beach camping and to do some foraging. Great info. Thanks Aaron👊🍄
@@ImFungiHunter awesome, have a great time!
Everything I find in the summer on the Cali coast too, sweet video bro!

@@TheFattdragon But you guys have a lot of moisture down there right? It's very dry here in the west in the summer.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful content
Great video as always.

congrats on your first chanterelle! you’ll be chasing that feeling of excitement lmao. and yes, the twins used Digitalis poison from foxgloves
Hello from a mycologist in Switzerland nice vidéo 📹 ❤😂 see you next

I have found numerous lobsters in the north olympics in the summer. looking forward to the fall!!
New subscriber ! Love from an Okie❤
I’m finding Lobsters on Oregon Coast. In beautiful shape. Right off the beach.
Chants are poppin! Woohoo!
The foxglove is called 'Fingerhut' here in Germany and it grows everywhere in the wild. Really pretty, but poisonous as hell.

@@bobdilty3764 yes it's cooler and more rain in the mountains in late summer
@@mushroomwonderland1 Good to know. Thanks!
I'm courious what mushrooms like to grow on pineneedles and are edible?😅

Wild blackberries, super tasty, but we call those Stumble-berries!! Watch-out!!
@@kiminnehalem8669 why do you call them that?
My new favorite word pacificagematta
Do you get poison ivy there?
@@jasonMMorris very rarely. Poison oak is more common in certain areas.
😊😊😊
Are summer chanterelles typically associated with oak or conifer? I thought oak but this seems to indicate conifer.

@@mushroomwonderland1 Very interesting! Thank you!
I want to be just like you
TY ADS never ever watch any vid that forces me to watch an AD bye
