Hello mushroom lovers, check out fungusid.com if you haven't. It's a FREE educational tool created by me to help you automatically identify wild mushrooms. Just upload your image and find out what the mushroom is!
I have heard, years ago, that foraging wild mushrooms is risky because poisonous hybrids are around that are virtually identical to the edible species. How risky is it now?
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Your comment made me laugh. My daughter (6) and I were foraging today as I am handing down the skill taught by my maternal ancestors for hundreds of years. We have tech however and we found a mushroom that popped up not as toxic but fatal. My daughter looked at me and asks, "Do we know who ate it first, so we could know that it's fatal?" Then I read your comment a few hours later... 🤣
dryad saddle....if your knife is squeaking when your harvesting or cutting along the edge its too old!!! just a lil old timers wisdom for ya!!! your knife should cut through as smooth as if it were butter!!! I actually cut myself one time on a really fresh young dryad because my knife was really sharp an it cut the mushroom really fast an I wrecked into my finger!! so be careful when using a knife
bill hafford if you can get a bunch of babys dyrad saddles that’s the best way to go sometimes in the right conditions they can grow like cap mushrooms and these are perfect for cooking when younge
I always have been scared of picking wild mushrooms, but I'm hungry after watching this video... I just started to learn how to distinguish edible weeds from lawn, and I guess it wouldn't be hurting if I learn about wild mushroom too; thanks for the video~
Probably said before but get a quality field guide. I really like Peterson's. Talks a lot about spore prints, etc. Ultimately just seeking the information is key
About three years ago, I took a school break to get into growing and foraging food, mushrooms were on my list! I've read and watched quite a bit, and I don't think I'm quite ready yet, to forage, but every little be helps!
Hurray lol I found a load of mushrooms today I just felt they was edible but needed confirmation, watched about ten videos on here no joy then onto this video and it's pheasants back and edible, also learned that bigger ones tuff in centre so thankyou
Well I wouldn't learn from this irresponsible buffoon... There were a couple of mushrooms which he said were edible and there are extremely poisonous ones that look just like them and no warning from this channel. I recommend you go to a responsible and knowledgable teacher.
@@carolinesmyth127 if you cared to help by attaching time stamps in your comment and explanations of the ones you identifies as poisonous than you could help spread knowledge instead of posturing on anonymous youtube threads... your comment is unhelpful at best and potentially harmful without actual follow-through. Just saying if you're going to "correct" someone, actually correct them. Don't just call them a buffoon.
@@rboles499 like I have the time to do that!... I would also be guilty of same buffoonery if I did that... even experts slip up sometimes so actually going to the trouble of seeking the mushrooms, in person, and doing your own research would be far wiser...

Hi! I just came across this video and your channel. I love it! It's so nice to have a video guide! 😍🍄 I became a wild mushroom fanatic since my husband introduced me to their wild mushroom hunting traditions in the Czech Republic! The coral shaped mushroom you mentioned we call "Kotrč" and is delicous in soup! I have only found ONE edible bolete (Penny Bun) mushroom here in Vancouver 🇨🇦 on my hikes! I'm sure there are places I have to find in British Columbia. 😊
Thank you! The penny bun is just a beginning and I'm sure you'll encounter a lot more once the mushroom elf finds itself a spot in your mindset 😃then you just can't stop seeing..
I have 250 acres of woods behind my house and I go for walks everyday. I also find many different types of mushrooms that are edible. I found close tov eight pounds of oyster mushrooms today. I have chicken of the woods growing in my back yard. I find or have found every edible mushroom that is shown in the video...
Love your channel. I've been trying to find some chicken of the woods but there is a mushroom maniac in my town that goes around foraging before I can get to it.
Psilocybin containing mushrooms saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@Lillian Victoria I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety because of university stress. Not until I came across *dr.jeromespores* a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
@@ryancihet555 I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
Thank you. I became interested in shrooms this spring and have found most of the ones you identified here. Wondering if umbrella polypore is a maitake variety? Found my fifth cluster of hen-of-the-woods this month . I have eaten so much I now smell like a shroom.
No though both are polypores. umbrella appears only in spring and to me it's better than maitake. this said, i haven't seen any maitake this year thus far..
This is so helpful for me cs i live in a tropical forest with different types of mushroom but dont know what's edible and what's not. Im learning more about mushroom
it's about respecting the fungi kingdom. If everyone started ripping them out it's just not a good habit to push forward as foraging becomes more popular
Great video. Looking forward to mushroom season in N.H. Doing it for a few years now and have enjoyed about 8 different wild mushrooms here. Nine if I added Chaga tea.
My dad and I like to go foraging together. A couple days ago we found some black trumpets, something called an old man of the woods, and lots of little brown ones
Hello, can I find mushrooms in the Netherlands in november? My friend will visit me in three weeks and I want to try this together. I’m afraid to go to the forest alone.
I used to hunt for Morels back in Missouri after springtime rains. Fried Morels are so delicious. Out in the sonoran desert, the only mushroom I've ever seen growing was a chicken of the forest. I don't know how, but it was growing. Also back in Missouri, we threw mushrooms under cars because they exploded after being run over. I think they were puffballs, can you tell me what they also could have been? They very well could have poofed green.
This guy is an ass. Learn from others. Just because he can memorize doesn't mean that he has a clue. Harvest by cutting at the soil line. Learn from true keepers of the earth
If you ever wanted to try growing wine cap yourself, take one of the old ones and throw it in a blender. use the blended mushroom to inoculate some sterile media. could probably be done with the other ones as well, but wine cap is the only one i know is widely grown like that of the ones you found.
If you are a beginner, always forage with an experienced forager and one who is experienced in identifying the species. Also please do not eat anything that you’re unsure about. You can get extremely sick and in worst case they can be fatal. Also, please use your paring knife when plucking. Cut, not pluck, so they can grow back.
@@LetsGoSomewhere87 many compares it to picking an apple from the branch. I do think pulling fruit bodies is totally fine unless you do it too brutally, which's hardly necessary when it comes to mushrooms.
@@OldManoftheWoods Yeah, you wont hurt the mushroom culture (mycellium) however if it's a patch you intend to return to to harvest more mushrooms in the same season, (the following week for example) then you'll do better if you cut the mushrooms' stems. Often, I return to mushroom stumps that I've cut to find new fruiting bodies sprouting around the old stump I've left behind. I don't believe this can happen when you rip a hole in the mycelium by plucking. Keep in mind the mycelium serves to feed all the fruiting bodies in the flush, so when you start ripping holes in it, it's like demolishing sections of roads in a city. The city can survive it, but it certainly hinders its productivity. That being said, if you're picking wild mushrooms to market, some varieties lose their value if the stems are cut. BC pine mushroom (Tricholoma magnivelare) is one, for example. But these push up from so deep in the ground, you often just find the top of the cap with the stem completely buried, which forces you to pop them up from underneath with a screwdriver anyhow.
I think that the morel in your video was identified properly but it grew the exact way that the false morel does. I’ve only ever encountered a few false morels. Usually early spring.
Best tip for beginners: always start by hunting only boletus species. If their sponge is white and their meat doesn't turn blue they're good. There are also blue turning good shrooms but if you're a beginner, just start with those
I saw a Dried saddle that was aboutv3 ft by 4 ft in northbcarolina. I stopped to walk my dognby the river and saw it at the footnod of a tree near a river. I have a pjc and i wosh i could attach it hear. Thank you for making these videos
The very important thing to keep in mind is the area you live in the world; different places have different mushrooms 🍄. So many things I've read have said if it has gills, it's probably poisonous, especially if it's white and grows on the lawn. Hunting for edible woods mushrooms is scary if you aren't 100% sure it's safe, which is more difficult than you think when searching for identical photos online
idk about that there are lots of types of gills first off and second off alot of them are edible my rule would be there are no short cuts there is no hard and fast rules. learn the mushrooms in your area is good advice because there are so many
I am trying to learn about mushrooms, but it seems to me that as the mushrooms are gathered, shaking out spores on the ground would benefit everyone. There must be a reason not to shake, so could you let me know why not? Thanks
Ok so my mom told me the mushrooms which were bloomed in our yard is safe. Ate it and my boyfriend really scared me telling it could be poisonous. So here I am searching net for edible mushrooms after I ate wild mushrooms😂😱😂 Edited: nothing happened and it turns out MOM ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!😂💗👏
Upper Northwestern corner of Washington state. I know ive stumbled across bunches of them over the years but never really knew the significance until recently. I find lots of boletes now, but ill be damned if i can find another king. Hoping this year will be the one! If i cant find any...shhhh...ill buy a couple if i have to haha. Ive heard they are really good eating? I found perfect lobsters and some beautiful chantrels this morning hiking around behind the place though.

I would be equally excited to see a false morel as I am yet to encounter one.
They look different enough to notice.
@Subtle Nature If you cut them open then the morel will be hollow and a false one will not, so it's not too hard to tell the difference.
Best tip for beginners: always start by hunting only boletus species. If their sponge is white and their meat doesn't turn blue they're good.
There are also blue turning good shrooms but if you're a beginner, just start with those
Aren't there some blue staining boletes that are edible (I may be thinking of a different mushroom)

I tried pheasant backs just the other day, the ones I picked were inedible, tougher than boot leather.
First tree was an oak. One in the red oak classification. Hard to say for certain just by that little piece of bark
Nice video. I collect mushrooms in the DC area also.
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the tease at the end, “wink”. I want to Findlay in my area to do this , don’t want to walk in woods alone.
This video found me, thank you thank you thank you for these teachings!
I thru hiked the Appalachian trail last year. Foraged cooked and ate chicken of the woods
Terrific video. Very imformative.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm going to share this with my local mushroom group in Facebook
Thanks for sharing!
should you pull the whole mushroom or cut the bottom and throw it to let it take root elsewhere?
Cut so you dont harm the mycelium underground
Thank you for the tip about the coral mushroom. I recently found some but it was growing on the ground. Glad I didn't harvest it.
Yes it is very edible we love them the morel
Ok so my mom told me the mushrooms which were bloomed in our yard is safe.
Ate it and my boyfriend really scared me telling it could be poisonous.
So here I am searching net for edible mushrooms after I ate wild mushrooms😂😱😂
Edited: nothing happened and it turns out MOM ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!😂💗👏
@@wynnhorton1208 With this logic you could never eat in a restaurant.
Im having a great chanterelle year,, eating a whole lot of them.. love it !! lions mane soon !
Wow so yum at the end
American elm have a criss cross pattern on the trunk, and usually gray on top of ridge and orange deep in crevices.
subscribed! Here in southern New Mexico our season is very short. But king boletes in august. Just sayin
shame that we don't have king boletes here.
Upper Northwestern corner of Washington state. I know ive stumbled across bunches of them over the years but never really knew the significance until recently. I find lots of boletes now, but ill be damned if i can find another king. Hoping this year will be the one! If i cant find any...shhhh...ill buy a couple if i have to haha. Ive heard they are really good eating? I found perfect lobsters and some beautiful chantrels this morning hiking around behind the place though.
Thank you for your videos!
excellent.....
yeah DC!! did you take this at the northwest branch trail in maryland? it sure looks like it
Great video
Really interesting!
I don’t eat mushrooms I just like to identify them, great video bro 👍
Wow just, nature is bootiful and rly wanna do this some day ty!

How do you spore print?
Thanks very educational video
Where is this video filmed? Would you find all of these mushrooms in the UK?
Nice Morel! Ive found many under dead elm trees as a young girl.
am i the only one who uses pruning sizzors ? there small, spring loaded so they open and close easy, and 1$ at dollar store
Yes, you are the only one who uses scissors. Lol. A knife is much more versatile.
Yes only a knife I like a hawkbill or grafting style but that's me...less damage
this guy is great !!

Great channel.. keep up the good work.. :)
Educational. Thanks for the upload.
