Great video 😊
Thank you!!
All I know is getting it wrong can be the last mistake a person can make
Very unlikely with turkey tail but with certain kinds of mushrooms this is true. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful for foragers in the Eastern/SE United States 👍🏻
Thank you!
Thankyou for a very informative video. How about Trametes Ochracea - it is found here in Sweden, what is your view on this one? Easily mixed up with brown Trametes versicolor?
I am unfamiliar with ochracea, but looking at pictures I can see how they could easily be mistaken. Thank you for watching!
I just stumbled on your channel and love your informative videos. Well done!
Thanks so much. Glad to have you here!
Great video!!!
Thank you!
thanks good sirrrr🫡🫡
Thank you!
Question if you squeeze the mushroom and get a few drops from it could it be injested ?
Yes but it would have little to no effect on you other than being extremely bitter.
Great video
Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I just commented on you phenomenal Turkey Tail video and asked you to id a shelf mushroom. All I had to do was watch 1 more video...🙄 I can't believe that my mushroom id aps haven't been telling me that I've been fonding Reishis... everywhere...that I've left behind. 🙄🥹 I do have 1 really big 1 on a shelf that I brought home because it's so beautiful.....Wondering if I can still tincture or powder it? It's only been sitting there for 2, maybe 3 years. 🙄 TUndor solving my mystery!
Thanks for watching, and I’m glad you got confirmation on your Reishi. As long as there is no mold on it it should still be fine to use although personally I would probably try to get some that is more fresh to use for tea or tinctures. Happy hunting!
Thank you for this phenomenal Turkeytail ID video! It's the best I've seen in my search to identify something similar...but not! Lol Had to subscribe 1/2 way through! Would you be kind enough to tell me what an irregularly lobed, deeply colored, striped mushroom found on hardwoods(usually dead) in Ohio & PA(maybe elsewhere, but where I've found them) could possibly be? What makes them quite interesting is that they have a shiny, almost lacquered top. Neither of my id aps is giving me any answer at all!🙄 Thank you!
Thank you!
Great vid. Trying to help with the algo..
Much appreciated!
Nice plug for gaia. My bud demanded that i put it in my phone before going out on his 200 acre plot of land. (We were cutting trails for a XC motorcycle race). Well, one day I forgot to start gaia. It was a 90°+ day and I had to leave the group to get home, & got lost on the trail network. I was nervous when I realized I had lost my bearings, the sun was setting, & I had no idea how to get back. Fortunately, I had enough sunlight to determine east from west, and lived to post this comment. ❤
Yes it is no joke. Getting lost is super scary. Thank you!
Thanks for the wonderful video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music. I don't know why some people feel compelled to add annoying background music throughout the vid.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
Great video!
Thank you!
Very good video. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
@@RootAndEarth I just found what I believe is turkey tail but I wish I had a way to send a picture to you for examination
@@rebeccaperkins9715 you can send ID requests to lucas@rootandearth.com just be sure to include clear pictures of all sides of the specimen and your geographic location.
@@RootAndEarth can I do it through gmail?
@@rebeccaperkins9715 you can send them to that email address from your gmail account yes.
I think that I have the reddish cinnabarinus ones growing in my yard. They mostly grow under our ackee tree so there’s a good bit of the fleshy rinds decomposing there, but they also clearly grow out of the sandy soil. Are there any dangerous look alikes it could be and do you have any general recommendations for where I could turn to to confirm their identity? Like would I need to go to a local government agency to do with agriculture? Or perhaps bring a sample to a medical lab and pay to test it?
You can send pictures to me at lucas@rootandearth.com and I’ll be glad to help with ID. Just be sure to include clear pictures of all sides of the specimens as well as your geographic location.
What national forest is this at?
This is in a privately owned pine plantation. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing this video. It was a great watch. I have a pine tree that I cut a few years ago and left the stump. It’s been having the most beautiful flushes of these mushrooms every few weeks after rain it’s been like this for a few months now.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for watching!
How can I send you a picture for identification?
Lucas@rootandearth.com
This is an excellent presentation of information! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much!
Excellent video, thank you!
Thank you!
Very nice
Thank you!
Ahhhh! I didn’t realize that true turkey tail was papery. There are a couple of flushes around the farm I think.
Wow that needs cloned 😮
Thank you for taking the time to educate the public.
Thank you!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Thank you!
Is it safe to touch to examine mushrooms as we hike?
Yes. Even deadly species are perfectly safe to handle with bare hands.
It's such a magical and humbling feeling isn't it? I can never walk along or swim in a creek or riverbed without looking for them
It’s incredibly magical. One of my favorite things to do. It’s as if I’m just drawn to where they are laying.
Found a huge patch of Gyms in my wood patch this year. I’m in the south in western NC in the mtns. Can’t wait to try them
Nice!
Just found my first Chanterelles couple of days ago.
Congrats!
That is a beautiful specimen☺️ we have gyms that grow in my state but it's been at least ten years since I've seen one. It's amazing how diverse the world of fungi is
Thank you for watching! I cloned this specimen and ave successfully fruited it although they didn’t come out as beautiful as the wild form.
@@RootAndEarth nothing ever does. Lol nature has a way of humbling us. I grow gourmets and for sure my outdoor lions man logs are always better than the indoor fruiting blocks, shiitake is the same way.
Thank you. My dog just got diagnosed with cancer and im getting him everything i can that is known to help. Anything i can get in its natural form rather than a dried capsule would be best. I happen to live in Pennsylvania where this is a prevalent mushroom. If i can properly identify it i will be collecting it myself
Very nice. If you are unable to find enough you might consider ordering from a reputable US supplier. Grinding the dried fruit bodies and then doing an 80 minute boil is the best method of extraction for the polysaccharides that are the beneficial components with relation to cancer. Good luck with your pupper and thank you for watching!
@@RootAndEarth thank you so much for the info. I've had a hard time finding the extraction methods in this situation so that is good to know. I'm pretty sure my woods are full of them but I ordered capsules in case I don't have much luck finding them.
Hey.. I like this guy. He's a great teacher. Thanks fam. 😊 💯
Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed!
when the Turkey tail is washed out like that is it still good to use ?
I personally only use fresh, still actively growing specimens.
Thank you. I love the patch of Solomon’s Seal that is thriving near my home
Thank you!
Is the false Turkey tail poisonous?
It is not poisonous, but doesn’t have any known benefits.
It’s just mixed in with my real Turkey tails and lions main mixture didn’t really want to throw it out. Thank you ❤
Just moved into a new home with this growing now looking into the benefits. Your videos a great help
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoy my videos..
Ive got them here in indiana may 18 2024. Along a hedge row of pines, in a pasture.
Nice! They should be popping up here in WNC very soon.
Not sure how many videos I've seen about identifying Turkeytail, but if I had started with this one, it's all I would've needed. Cleared a thing or two up for me.
Thanks so much! I’m glad this was helpful to you.
@@RootAndEarth Thank you, sir.
Me too❤
Aesome i hope i can find some of these in south australia
Can I send you a picture?
Sure. If you have clear pictures of all sides of the specimen I’ll do my best to identify it for you. Lucas@rootandearth.com
I'm in Ashville! Going out this week.
Nice! You should still have a shot at morels. Thanks for watching!
Lovely haul! Yummmmm
Thank you for watching!
Just found a nice flush on wood chips in SC today👍
Nice!!
VERY thorough and helpful! 💕
Thank you!
These are nice!!
Thanks!
Wow wow, mushrooms only have beautiful flowers.
Thank you for watching!
It is like gensang hunting go real slow and you find them
Yes. You find more sitting still than you do moving. Thanks for watching!
Great video once more. Here in Charlotte, NC, I find almost all of them in Privet groves, and like you say, if there happens to be an Ash tree or two amongst them, that is even better. I am up to 315 morels this season! (three forays) It's been a perfect weather season. I chuckled out loud when you mentioned having to get down on your belly sometimes... my son and I call it Belly - Worming! I have not had to do it for the past two seasons, but I found myself having to Belly - Worm 3 times this season... through Privet and Multi Flora Rose thickets and sometimes through Greenbriar canes. Greenbriar is my most feared plant in the woods. It seems to just grab you and by the time you realize, it has you entangled at so many spots! By the time the season is over, my legs are all tore up! And I love it! Another trend I have noticed over the years, is that I find a lot in places I call transition areas. Where the thick woods open up a bit, becoming "grassier", and even sunnier. These transition areas still need to have some kind of host tree. Here, it is Ash trees and Privet. I may go out one more time, as it is getting close to being over here. Keep on gettin' it!
Thank you for the continued support! You nailed it with the transitional zones. I sometimes call them marginal areas as in between the margins of two habitat types. Could not agree more on the green briar, or as they call it in my area “cat briar” I’ve often said that it is nature’s barbed wire and boy, if you unwittingly get tangled up in it it certainly is something you never forget. Hope you get some more good hunts in before it’s all over. Cheers!
