- I decided to make an attempt to look for porcini mushrooms knowing that there had been little rain during the previous weeks, and I’m certainly glad I did!
It turned out to be a very productive few days hunting for these delicious mushrooms over the 2021 Thanksgiving weekend in the central California coastal hills near Monterey.
It hurts my heart seeing you to uncover and destroy all the soil around mushroom and than leave it exposed to dry. It is really bad.
Just very carefully remove the mushroom and immediately very carefully close the soil around. And try not to walk there. PLEASE.
I know that exact spot.
Can hear the cars in the background. You got lucky- lots of folks look there 🍄
Agreed. Busy spot on the peninsula! Persistence paid off for me. 🎉
Thx for your comments!
Im out there foraging for restaurants daily- i’ll say hi if i see you.
omg the amanita muscaria 😍 been trying to find some of those. not poisonous if you dry them but will take you on a crazy tip. have never been lucky enough to find them where i’m at.
Every bolete that has been genetically sequenced from california is not boletus edulis, but a variety of other species, mostly described only from the west coast of north america. Just info, great content keep it up!
That’s great info! Curious to know what other varieties other than B. edulis var. grandedulis?
@@goodmushroom most are in the process of being described and will be given a name. If you want to learn more about them and the people who are doing the genetic research on them, the north american mycological society(NAMA) damon tighe or alan rockefeller might know who is doing the work currently. Its mostly hobby science so you need to talk to individuals.
Super nice condition! Looking forward to check out my Monterey spots after the next storm
Check now just 🌧️☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔☔. 😂. See ya out there
U read my mind hahahha
As some1 already said, you destroy mushroom underground roots..
Right way of picking them up is to just roll them left and right and then cover hole with sourandings leaves.
Well done mate. Great porcinis. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺.
Great video. Can I ask for the bolete at Monterey, what is the best month? Thanks
Nice find 👍👍👍🍄🍄🍄🍄
Are the species of mushrooms in Europe and north america the same ?
You’re killing me, bro! I can hear that sharp cracking sound of fresh fungi. What a nice find. #MushroomFantasies.❤
Thanks! It’s addicting, right!?
Good afternoon Cook stuff
I’m Japanese and My name is Daitizan.

Nice to meet you👍

Hey I’m mycology student and was wondering if there was a spot you recommend by Monterey? I’ve been have really bad luck with finding mushrooms outside of oldgrown oak forests. Thank you , and great finds !
Hey Jessie! Thanks for watching and for your comments. If you’re an amateur mycologist then you’ve got much more information than I have, for sure! I honestly generally have pretty bad luck in finding mushrooms. Esp the edibles like King boletes! However, once in awhile I get ‘lucky’ and hit the coniferous forests around Monterey (Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Carmel) during the perfect window and come across an occasional beauty. My only recommendation to you would be to scour the forest floor wherever ideal conditions match up for Boletes - ie season, recent rain, soil warmth, proper vegetation (pines & other conifers) etc. Unfortunately, I personally have never found Porcini in or around old growth oak forests. I wish I could, however!
Always a good idea to ask other mushroom hunters that you may encounter while hunting a certain area to get some better clues. From my experience, most people freely share info and will help you if you’re respectful. That said, these prized mushrooms have a tendency to evade even the well-experienced harvesters. So good luck and don’t give up! And don’t forget to crouch down and look for shrumps. You could be standing on top of one and hardly even know it!

Where are you studying? You are looking at the wrong trees in Monterey for porcinis
IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED WHERE TO FIND THEM LET ME KNOW. I WAS AMAZED WHEN I FOUND A SPOT BECAUSE OF ALL THE VARIATIONS OF THEM.
I had no idea these grew near monterey. I always thought mushrooms were more of a northern california thing, and that monterey was too dry for them.
wait the mushrooms cooked in the pan doesn't look like that giant king ballette that you cut up in your kitchen!
Lol. Mushrooms mostly made of water, they shrink a lot when pan fried haha
that was fun making these together
Sam, my beautiful son, I’m so glad we’ve been able to forage for these prized mushrooms together! I love being with you in the amazing outdoors. Thanks for your help and support in finding, filming and preparing these delicious boletes!! ❤️👊🏼
Vandalo, non si raccolgono osi i funghi.
Lol
Giusto, meglio stronzaten con trippa
❤❤❤
That's awesome bro. I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to find one in West Michigan but I doubt it. Maybe in the up at a bit higher elevation I'll have better luck. I live in West Michigan and I have never found any of those yet#goals
You should be able to find porcini mushrooms if there are pine trees etc. Not sure if elevation matters. I find them near the coastline of central California. Good luck!
I´m a mushroom hunter from Germany. We have 4 different species of king boletes in Germany/Europe. Your findings look more like Boletus pinophilus. Are there any pine trees nearby?
Hi there Johnny! What part of Germany are you from? I love your beautiful country. I’ve been fortunate to have visited Germany several times. Hard to compete with the beauty there!
As per exactly which mushroom species these boletes are I am not certain. Everyone has referred to them as King Boletes or just Boletus edulis. They are found in a coniferous forest (Monterey pines, etc) mixed with some deciduous trees as well.
Good luck hunting! 🍄 😊
@@WildWorldProductionsTV Hello.
I‘m from the south of Lower Saxony, close to the Harz mountains. We have a lot of beech/oak trees. Due to bark beetles the spruce forests are mostly dead (luckily there were only a few parcels in the forests around my home). I find lots of boletus edulis under beech and oak, unfortunately chanterelle spots are very rare.

Please stop saying oh my God it's blasphemy
Please don't push your religion on us. We have a big problem in our country with people trying to force certain lifestyle on us. From gays to religion.
Not once do I ever say ‘Oh my God’. Listen more carefully and quit your judging.
why are you not using a knife to cut it off, thereby leaving the roots at home in the duff?
Wow those are some MONSTERS!!!!
Super👍
