- Each fall, mushroom enthusiasts flock to rainy Girdwood to pick all the choice edibles they can eat. But some hunters would prefer their favorite mushroom patches be kept quiet.
Kate Mohatt is an ecologist and one of Girdwood's local mushroom experts. She shares tips on how to avoid poisonous mushrooms on a fungai hunt, and how to enjoy one of the northern-most mushrooming destinations in the world.
INDIE ALASKA is an original video series produced by Alaska Public Media in partnership with PBS Digital Studios. The videos capture the diverse and colorful lifestyles of everyday Alaskans at work and at play. Together, these stories present a fresh and authentic look at living in Alaska.

Awesome film!! Can’t wait for the Girdwood FF! 2023
Thanks for the kind words! We love the forest fair every year! Thank you for watching this episode. We hope you subscribed so you will be notified when new episodes post!
She seems really cool, just in general.
I absolutely love this video and your attitude
Larry likes it!
Don't touch that mushroom! 😂 classic parents
Though I live in the dryer central interior of Alaska, the information you’ve presented with your honesty and integrity have been a blessing which encourages me to at least make an effort to forage for mushrooms this fall.
Two Thumbs Up!!
I absolutely love mushroom hunting! Unfortunately I hate eating them, I just want to go along with a group of people and pick for them :d. It's been a few years but I miss it so much; great video :)
Why don't you go along with your group and give them away. We give a lot of them away. Bare in mind that all mushrooms don't all taste the same. Take the shitake for instance. It has a distinct smell and flavor. If your used to eating store bought mushroom they are different. Not to mention the immune busters. Do more research on these things. Also me and my wife use them in soup, stews grave's. Your might give that a thought.
I love Kate Mohatt.
I just met Kate in a foray today and was like wait a second she seems familiar then re-watched the video just now 🤣
I've been hunting the Adirondacks. The bio-diversity there blew my mind. I live in a rural area that has some wild areas but to see "old growth" with no "forest managment" is just awesome. I've been chaga hunting and scouting for reishi. We had a no show on those little buggers last year so hoping for bumper crop/flush this year. Hope to find some morels this year too!
Super!
I hope to move to alaska soon. I love mushrooms .dont know how to tell differents from poison one and the ones thats good yet
I live hear you should its fun
Very nice mooshrooms! in Russia too
2:38 in Russia we call this one a "raw-eat" (literal translation), and like chanterelle (which we call "foxie" hehe) it's perfect for stir-frying and tastes amazing.
I like your video and your attitude. you obviously respect people, nature, and other points of view. hats off to you : )
True she is
I never realized how ignorant I've been about deadly mushrooms before. I think I would move to Alaska purely for the mushrooms.
I Am A Mushroom Hunter | INDIE ALASKA - We would love to hear back from you.
Thanks,
Steph and keith
Im sorry what do you mean follow up? @Gideons-ny2ng
really good video : )
So many interesting people in Alaska, I hope I can travel to there one day :) Btw, in the nursery school my "symbol" was that Amanita muscaria... In the Hungarian nursery schools every kid get a symbol and that is on their bag and table... Why was I a mushroom? Was I that dreamy? Haha
What time of the year is the best time to go mushroom hunting on the Kenai?
January 4th is the best day of the year for mushroom hunting
2:28 And the best part is that Boletus mirabilis ... doesn't have gills!
We have sooooo many mushrooms on the tundra around Bethel and I've been trying for years to identify some edible ones without success! Please come out to Bethel and host a fungus foray. I think there would be alot of people who would be interested and maybe the cooperative extension would help get you out here!
At 3:00 She is holding two orange mushrooms and goes on explaining "this one is poisonous" No it´s not, its Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, commonly known as the False Chanterelle, totally harmless and can be used as substitute for bubble gum. She is mixing it whit Omphalotus olearius, commonly known as the jack-o'-lantern mushroom, what is poisonous.
+Aaron Rantonen You obviously know more about this than I do, but my question is ... can you really say that the false chanterelle is totally harmless? My understanding is that if you eat a bunch of it, you will have some major gastrointestinal problems. Sure it will not kill you but...
+llewej7 Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca is just tasteless, with bubblegum like consistency. It´s sometimes eaten here in Finnland, mistaken for Cantharellus cibarius, haven´t heard about any toxicity, shure as all edible mushrooms can cause gastrointestinal tsunami in case of trehalase deficiency. But hey, we eat also parboiled false morrels (Gyromitra esculenta) here. :)
The two she's holding are not Jack O'lanterns. They are way too small and the color is too oranges and bright
Yes, as i commented year ago.
*It sometimes is listed as poisonous, or slightly poisonous, and can cause stomach issues, therefore I wouldn’t call it “totally harmless”. There are various foods, several mushroom species, out there that are poisonous but “safe” (more like “okay”) to eat in small quantities or if prepared correctly.*
Me too!
I'm trying to grow mushrooms but I keep on trying
Where is this located
are there liberty caps in Girdwood
Never munch on a hunch!!
*Do “magic mushrooms” grow naturally in Alaska?*
Your Life Is A Great Story I have come across them once around Anchorage , growing in horse patties. Didn’t touch them but my husband joked about it
Yes
They don't require horse or cow shit to grow
да, что -то маловато на Аляске хороших грибов.Так и пошла с пустой корзиной.
I am attracted to her. She has a kind sense about her and a calm, soothing voice.
+MetusBatman V2 No, masochist
madisonelectronic Prove it, moron.
A woman into fungus is amazing and Kate Mohatt is beautiful ;)
Hello Slavik
I would love to talk with you more about the mushroom. We are in Anchorage. Can you send me a private message so I can reach out to you.? My husband are very interested in the morel mushroom also do you sell books on mushroom as well?
Thank you,
Steph and Keith
I don't think you will get a reply
@@TicklerDude why do you say that? I live in Anchorage, Alaska. Been here a long long time.
Steff...
If you say "Fun-ji" why would you say "Fun-Gus"? o_O
Because being followed by an i (or and e or sometimes a y) makes a g soft, generally. Being followed by a u (or an o or an a or an h) makes a g hard, generally. In English anyway.
Never taste or eat wild Liberty caps
....
I found a non poisonous mushroom and I was trying to pick it
But my friend thinks its poisonous and she killed it by smashing it with a stick
So this is just click bait for views?
Yes, that chick is smokin' hot and it is 152% clickbait.
