Why do boletes turn blue? Also chanterelles, ornate-stemmed Retiboletus ornatipes + Galiella rufa

- In this video, I show how to identify a yellow bolete mushroom with an elaborately netted stem called Retiboletus ornatipes. Taking its name from the reticulation - a netted and interlocking texture on the stem surface - Retiboletus ornatipes is a highly recognizable edible mushroom that grows prolifically throughout the summer months.
Next, I discuss the blue-bruising reaction of some bolete mushrooms. I do this by taking apart a bolete-type species I wildly guess might be Suillellus luridus, a mushroom I've illustrated but have never tried to pronounce before today (and believe me, it shows). The thing that's special about this unknown bolete is its propensity to turn blue when handled and cut. This bluing reaction is caused by xerocomic and variegatic acid, which lose an electron and change from orange to blue when they come into contact with the air and oxidize.
Moving on, I talk about how to find and identify early summer chanterelles, specifically a species of fruity-smelling Cantharellus mushrooms that take on a flowery vase shape when mature. Finally, I talk about Galiella rufa, commonly called the peanut butter cup mushroom. This rubbery, blubbery, cup-shaped wood-rotter looks a good bit like a fun size peanut butter cup, but is even more fun and delightful when you open it up and mess around with its gummy, gelatinous interior. - Наука та технологія
Your obvious affection for mushrooms while you cut and tear them apart is my favorite part of your videos. Thanks Anna for another lesson.
Awwww thanks! I love handling them, though I’m trying to get better at bringing the most interesting things home. I mashed up a possibly quite rare destroying angel recently, and I was duly scolded for not bringing it home for proper study! But still, I will always enjoy destroying mushrooms, it’s just good fun
Awesome! Thanks again for doing what you do so very well! It's so helpful. 💙🍄💙
Haha thanks! I had a lot of bugs that day, an ant on my arm and a wasp around my head….my first take an ant crawled in my pants and I shrieked bloody murder and had to start over
Great video. Nice chants!
Thanks! Hopefully more to come soon…it’s been rainy
I like the texture of the bolete sponge layer when dried and reconstituted.
True, very good for powdering and maki g into seasoning
😛😛😛😛chantarel envy!🍽️
In my area, we have a city park called Bays Mountain. It should be called Chanterelle Mountain. I can almost bet money on them coming up every year, in the same areas. And they're giants, a lot of then are the size of a soda can. There's one spot, where a large family of rat snakes call home, that turns orange with cinnibar chanterelles.
We have a few spots around here that are just lousy with chanterelles. Such that everyone knows about a few of them but it doesn’t matter because there are more than enough to go around
The lurid turns red between the pours and the cap meat right?
I don’t think so, but I don’t have enough knowledge first hand. I illustrated one recently and the pics and guides I used to research the features didn’t mention any red staining. Reddish pores yes, and red stuff on the stem often, but if I understand what you’re asking I don’t believe so. But again I suck at boletes because they’re hard
I think I saw something about it on wild food U.K. with Marlo,he's got some good videos. Also,Learn Your Land,with Adam Harrington there's another one called,Found You Foraging, they are good too,I've learned a lot watching you also,I like your honest presentations.
So you talk about “young” and “older” or more mature. In terms of time is young hours or days old? Is old a day or a week?
Really depends on the species, some mushrooms grow very rapidly and others not so much. Once sprouted, chanterelles take about 5 days (ish). Russulas on the other hand will go from small to mature overnight. But most good edibles have slightly firmer flesh and take more time to mature - I love to hunt 4 days after a monster rainstorm
Now I'm gonna have to search all the local candy machines for the money forgotten gummy worms from 1980🤣 just for comparison
🎼🎵🎶🎹🎷🎵🎸🎷🎶....why,do,letes..
Al_ways turn blu...
When Anna cuts...into yoouuuu..
Hahahah I hope to find some really fast stainers. There are some that turn blue so fast you can see the color race across the flesh. Sooo cooool
@@annamchugh5381 I just get this now,thanks y.t. I find old men like that.
I want your shirt
You can get one at mushroomanna.com! My original art, because I like mushrooms and techy stuff, the circuit board traces were fun to substitute for mycelium
