June Mushroom Identification in a Beautiful Forest
Вставка

- In this video the vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, Aaron Hilliard, takes us on a walk into the forest to discover what mushrooms might be growing next to the trail, how to identify them, whether they are good to eat or not, and what they're called scientifically and their common name.
A lifetime of fascination with mushrooms led to the birth of this channel and a whole ton of foraging videos just like this one for you to delight in. Aaron has been studying mushrooms for a long time, and is what you would consider a citizen mycologist. Keeping current with taxonomy can be a challenge but have Mushroom Wonderland we try our best. Hopefully this channel appeals to the experienced mushroom forager as well as the brand new person interested in going to look for food in the wild!
In this video we come across some of the mushrooms that will tolerate the warmer temperatures and dryer conditions of early summer. We start off by looking at bird nest fungi, Nidula niveotomentosa, a very bizarre and complex little fungus that likes to grow on twigs. Then we look at another twig loving mushroom, The Alpine jellycone, Guipiniopsis alpina. We stumble across a couple of beautiful deer shield mushrooms in the forest growing on a dead stump, Pluteus cervinus. We come across a big cluster of beautiful Mica caps, Coprinellus micaceus, which are okay to eat but have a very short shelf life. We find a strange and someone rare bolete called the Xerocomellus diffractus. We also come across a couple of past their prime shaggy parasols, Chlorophyllum rachodes. We get to look at the beautiful sweating metabolites on a Red belted conch, Fomitopsis mounceae. We also talk about Forest health and ecology, the checklist to an old growth forest, and other random mycological banter.

Yes! More forest videos with identification please! It's a Wonderland!
Yes, more forest stuff. Fascinating
Thx Aaron, enjoyed your interview with myco geeky. I'll take you out bonsai hunting and you can show me how to find mushrooms. =) I'm a Western Wa guy too.
I’m still loving the content!! Your knowledge is amazing!! Keep sharing !!!! ❤❤❤
Hey, I’m moving from a desert to British Columbia, and I’m excited to hunt for mushrooms! Thank you!
Yes on more forest stuff, tree ID etc,… keep it coming Aaron, I love your video style and have learned so much!
I've been following for about 6 months, I like all your videos, But the forest one gives me a idea of where to look and realism. I'm out here in SE. Pa. and love hiking in the forest.
i loved the disclaimer, honest about how the seasons are impacting the finds. i truly understand the frustration of creating content, when there is none to be found at this time.
wow that is some tall devils club at the end lol. good stuff on trees too!
Thank for adding the info about Douglas firs and their ability so survive better than Western Hemlock n Cedar. Please, while you continue to prioritize mush vids but have time for other content, do create more forest vids too!
More forest and tree identification pls
I fry up the pluteus in a little butter til liquid is cooked down salt, pepper, and add it to a cheese, onion, sausage omelet! And the mica caps make the best tasting cream of mushroom soup! Makes me want to get back out there 😄
any cool finds in the forest are great, how they connect with eachother is really cool too. nice work keep it up!
Yes more forest videos
It’s been raining really good in Utah and this mushroom season has been pretty good
I grew up in Utah. The Uintas have some good Mushrooms but nothing like these temperate rain forests in the Northwest.
@@kylewhitt9608 I’m sure they’re good. I’ve always wanted to eat lobster mushrooms. I’m kinda jealous
I like deer mushrooms (and mica caps) fine. They're not going to stand out in a dish for better or worse, but it's nice to be able to add a little fresh mushroom into a meal when there's not much out there.
reminds me of Endor- Star wars. nice forest
+1 for more forest ecology! Enjoyed your recent appearance on Mycogeeky too. Some mushrooms are starting to pop off here in Central Maine finally.
Nice, totally helped me identify some inkys i saw a bit ago, nice interview on mycogeeky btw ❤🍄🚀
We'll be getting some rain starting Sunday through Tuesday here in the PNW. Maybe an inch or better
Soooo magical... Thank you.
Forest videos! Yes please 😊
Good morning
More trees lol great video as always
Boletes are everywhere in the mountains in southwest Montana right now...
Amazing Birdnestfungus!(Im living in Europe,im see this no one in my live!!)
Yes more cool video...come to Colorado has rained almost every day in May and June this year.
We went last summer and it was amazing the amount of mushrooms up in the mountains in the summertime! I would love to go back.
i fried a bunch of mica caps from my yard and they actually have more flavor in those little caps than baby bellas from the grocery store!
Forest videos 👍🙏
Deeply appreciate your content! Thank you.
We watch your videos every week and use them as a check off list on our foraging outings haha. Keep up the woods walks! Even when it’s summer you manage to find cool poly pores and points of interest in the woods. Thank you for putting out weekly content!
Finding chanterelles here in Texas right now
We get deer mushrooms at the golf course I cooked mine with white button mushrooms and I kept them separate in the pan I thought the deer mushrooms were more delicious than the button mushrooms
Artist conk is medicinal. It has medicinal properties for the lungs, it is also great for controlling diabetes as it has medicinal properties that help repair the pancreas, and so much more.
I've heard someone say they drank 10 cups of it's tea for an out of body experience, strange, but from a credible source.🤷👍🍄
@Mushroom Wonderland I've never come across anything on it making u have out of body experiences, but there is so much we still have to learn about the magnificent world of fungi. If u have a credible source that has experienced it first hand then I will keep that in mind to not use too much at once! I give it to my dog who has been having issues after the vet's damaged him with all of their toxic medications from big pharma that left him unable to breakdown his food. Since he has been on a blend of artist conk, turkey tail, reishi, and lions mane he is slowly improving. Mushrooms r truly powerful, life saving gifts. Ty for all of ur videos. I have learned so much from u.
I had the best mushroom year this last year. I gusse it depends on what your looking for .
Hey Aaron. Is morel season over in the Pnw? What's the report..? I'm wanting to go for a hunt on Saturday. To that same burn you was @ a few weeks ago.. I was out there memorial weekend. We made out ok.. its was better last year up @ cub creek. 60. lbs of burn morels. It was a banger!
They're still out, might have to hike higher, people still pulling them from the burn!
I was real worried for a bit there this year with May being as dry as it has been and summer coming up. The rains over this week have been very welcomed. I've seen Paul Stamets eat Ganoderma oregonense, but only if you find it when it's still young and soft enough to cut.
That is true. I've eaten it that way too! Just sliced the outermost white edge off of the new growth. It was very soft when I found a prime specimen, so we fried it in a little bit of oil with a little bit of salt. It was bland almost bitter and pretty unremarkable. But I felt really good after eating it!
Tons of elephant/ jelly ear on a pile of ash

Nice!
Where are u boo??
How does one get involved in their local mycological society?
GREAT CONTENT BUT 1 SUGGESTION FOR VISUAL LERNERS LIKE MYSELF, ALWAYS PUT EDIBLE IN GREEN LETTERS & INEDIBLE IN RED. 1 MUSHROOM IN THIS VIDEO WAS INEDIBLE & WAS WRITTEN IN A LIGHT GREEN, ALMOST YELLOW BUT I SAW & INTERPRITED AS EDIBLE & ALMOST MISSED THAT IT SAID INEDIBLE. MAYBE USE THE WORD TOXIC INSTEAD OF INEDIBLE AS IT IS LESS LIKELY TO MISINTERPRET. ALSO THE MEDICINAL/NON EDIBLE ONE JUST NOW THREW ME OFF WHILE TYPING THIS.
YOU CAN CONSUME IT FOR MEDICINE BJT NOT AS A FOOD SOURCE.
I definitely will make the distinction between toxic and inedible. When I say inedible I do mean that it's tough like wood, or unpalatable but not toxic. Toxic mushrooms I definitely put in red, inedible I put in yellow because you could potentially simmer or pressure cook them until they were soft enough to consume, but most people wouldn't. Appreciate the feedback though.
WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY YOU HAVE TO SHOUT WITH CAPS ❓try being like water instead 😉
