  • We went mushroom hunting expecting to find nothing and it up finding over 100 pounds of hen of the woods mushrooms! Spent six hours cleaning the things I wear a size 12 boot.

    I'm from Minnesota and they grow around oak trees! Late August and early September is prime for these mushrooms. They like it to be about 60 degrees Fahrenheit/16.5 celsius in the day and 40 degrees Fahrenheit/4.4 Celsius at night in the southern us they pick them in November

    I found a lot of them last fall. I probably harvested around 80 lbs. The first time i cooked them they were so good. The next time I cooked some I got sick within 15 min. Throwing up and sick for 2 days. Well I'm a slow learner so a few weeks later I tried them again. Got sick all over again. Then threw them all away. Does anyone know why they made me sick? Allergy perhaps?

    • @MattMohsOutdoors
      @MattMohsOutdoors  5 років тому

      I hear everyone can react differently from them. I have personally never gotten sick from them but on occasion I will get the runs and see them in the stool. Don’t know if it’s the mushrooms tho.

    Mushrooms play major role in the echo system, therefore they are sharing information with other species on the Earth via underground network, it protects the natural habitat from the damage of pollution as well as feed the nutrition into soil for the healthy forest. Please try to be ethical when you out in the woods picking them, and don't be greedy, because they help you to live too.

    • @jcjensenllc
      @jcjensenllc 5 років тому

      I was not addressing you specifically.
      Mushroom foraging is growing in popularity and many newcomers pick everything they see. The problem is spores from mushrooms are how fungi reproduce so taking too much can cause extinction or biodiversity collapse.
      Watch a video lecture by Dr. Walter Jehne, or Paul Stamets to fully appreciate the importance of fungi. Through the web of life everything is connected so what you do on "YOUR" land does effect me. Maybe you should try some magic mushroom to expand your consciousnceness. Happy hunting.
