I just want to say...Thank you for your wealth of knowledge. After a trip to our local museum, my daughter (I have 3 girls and 1 boy) found a display about mushrooms. She begged me on the spot to study mushrooms this summer. (I homeschool) I scoured the internet for hours looking for information to start a unit study. I did find a great resource with information for k-12 and some even college level. I honestly didnt know studying mushrooms would be so interesting. I think I am more into it than my daughter is. I cannot wait to go through your videos and learn more. You are truly a great mind and a great help to me.
Thanks so much! How awesome that your whole family is into mushrooms. If you live in an area with a local mushroom club, I'm sure your kids would love to attend their walks and forays. Here's a list for most states: www.namyco.org/clubs.php
We actually live in NC however we are an hour or two from SC. I will definitely check these clubs out. Thank you. Note: NAMYCO was the resource I found with the k-12 lesson plans. Great Great Great resource!!!!!
Thank you. Clear and precise, You have brought to my attention the assiciation of mushrooms to green plants and trees, either feeding them or breaking them down. I find this so interesting that I’m becoming mycol-nutty. I can identify, harvest and eat about 7 edible mushrooms.
Thanks for the video! For me, one of the best parts of learning about mushrooms is seeing how many different physical forms mushrooms can take. I'm always excited to find something wild looking like calostoma lutescens, dead man's fingers, or a stinkhorn.
Your have the best foraging and mushroom educational videos I've found on UA-cam. Love it! One heck of a good job you. I live in Pacific Northwest and I find your videos useful even though some differences out here. Keep up the great work!! ✌️✌️
Oh my goodness those tiny ones would be next to impossible for me to find. So tiny. Very cool. I’m soooo excited for it to warm up enough to go out for even just a couple hours to have a look around. Thanks so much. ~Lisa 💕
I actually used this video to positively identify Urnula craterium (Devil's Urn). I wasn't yet familiar with any cup fungi, and couldn't find anything on ID for my example. I actually thought, due to the extremely warm weather lately, they could possibly be very early Black Trumpets but after research I found it is definitely way too early for those. I noticed the cups in this video's thumbnail which led me down the path to the positive ID. You are creating a great resource for all of us... thank you!
This video might be your best one yet! Keep them coming. Black raspberries are ripe here in southern lower Michigan but I'm going to take a quick trip into the woods to see what fungi have popped up before I pick the berries and make jam. I've got milkweed flowers soaking to make some milkweed jelly. So much to do this time of year that it's hard to find time for it all.
I picked a few quarts of black raspberries and then had to go check my Polyporous umbellatas spot. No signs of any P. umbellatas this spring but I did find an excellent Laetiporus cincinnatius. Also picked a lot of elder flowers. Time to head back out!
Tahquamenonensis? I'll bet that fungus is named after the river that drains one of my favorite areas of my home state of Michigan.......I always learn a lot from your videos, keep'em coming!!
Fanawesometastic 🙏!! 😎🐦🙏 I could listen to You ALL day, Love You enthusiasm and I can absorb The information easily. I'm looking forward to learning more about mushrooms and Their medicinal uses for My personal health care. Be Blessed/ Blissed everyday. Learn Your Land is My absolute favorite one of ALL My utube favorites and I love to share with everyone else who is interested in getting healthy naturally. Thanks again Adam for Your valuable information and caring for Your Fellow Man. Making learning easier for hard-headed person who have to be in a closed area to absorb The information You have a wonderful persona and happy heart.
I found my first Earthstar mushroom recently and considered it a very unique find. It's like a small balloon growing in the middle of a starlike fungus.
i wild harvest in the east tennessee , north georgia and western north carolina mountains where i live. love your videos. very informative accurate and entertaining. I have learned much from them. wish this ol hillbilly had the book learnin and knowledge of latin names you have. keep up the excellent work. God bless.
Are you familiar with Linn Run? It is Near Ligonier / Stahlstown. I recently started paying more attention and noticed at least four different species.
Learn your land Adam, Can you please do an episode on cenocybe inocybe and psilocybin mushrooms that won’t kill you or aren’t deadly... but will induce muscarine dosage?
I find some black trumpets growing out of wood in the winter. Of course I live in Georgia where we can have temperatures that range from the mid 20s at night to the mid 70s during the day.
Adam, another fantastic and informative video. One off-topic question I have for you: You spend a lot of time in the woods, and are conscious of your health. What safe method do you use for repelling mosquitos and other biting insects while out in the woods?
Thanks! And that's a great question. Honestly, I don't do anything special (sprays, lotions, essential oils, etc.). I typically just try to wear long pants whenever possible and when it comes to ticks, I thoroughly check my body twice a day. Here in Western PA (at least where I explore), I don't encounter *too* many mosquitoes. Ticks are certainly the bigger problem in my opinion.
The other day I found a small patch of Honey Mushrooms! Never saw them in May before. I'm also finding loads of Fawn Mushrooms and Dryad's Saddles as well. And one lonely Mica Cap.
I would like to know which mushrooms are Best for Your autoimmune system for skin issues that I can't find anything to help restore my skin inside and out. Hopefully You will have information on which mushrooms can help me with This condition . I have been trying for three years and two different states and dermatologist. I'm so fustrated and stressed out about NO help From professional doctors. That's crazzzy I have insurance and still struggling. Looking forward to hear your advice. I trust You completely. Best of everything to You and Your family. God Bless Y'all.
In England we say I No Si Bee. We have the scarlet elfcup and the scarlet waxcap. In fact some of the best are the wierdest Yesterday I found the rusty hedgehog !
Cooool, I have to look those up. Love to visit it's on my bucket list ☺️ n Ireland. I read a lot of Books romantic but they have a lot of medicinal plants in them. N I collect any I formative books. BUT I Absolutely easily absorb The information Adam gives Us. Fanawesometastic 🙏🐦😎.
I have noticed that there are more than one kind of mushroom that look like black Trumpets. I would love to see you do a demonstration about the difference.
I find small pink mushrooms that I thought were some kind of chanterel. But I have discovered that they are called pigs tails. They usually hide under leaf litter near pine trees during the winter or late fall in Georgia. I had to go on line to identify this one because it was not in any of my books or field guides. I suspected that it was parasitic fungi , like shrimp of the woods, or lobster mushrooms. I am still not sure about this. But I found plenty of them last year, and I collected some to identify. When I found out what they were, and that people collected them to eat, I decided to try them, because they have no look alike. They kind of look like pink fairy clubs, but they are all white and solid on the inside, and they have a thin pig skin pink layer of skin on the outside. They don't have a cap. They just go from a skinny stem that flares out into a trumpet shape at the top that isn't hallow like blacktrumpets. It was difficult for me to identify these. Really didn't know where to begin. But my efforts paid off. They were really delicious. I found some this year in December, but I didn't harvest them. I wish I could send you a photo.
Great video and channel! Still a few weeks away from seeing the first chanterelles in the Fog Belt of the Oregon coast. There are still the tail end of mountain morels and spring king boletes at high elevation though! Have a couple mushroom hunting vids from last year and will have a bunch in the spring season here in OR coming out pretty soon, check them out if you have a chance! Cheers!!!
Another great video Adam. Can you possibly do one on the Parasol mushrooms? I have some growing in a field near my house and I cannot tell if they're the good ones or the poisonous ones, other videos don't explain all that well, certainly not good enough to take a chance. Thanks
stay clear of the Green Spore Parasol mushroom. As the name suggests it will have green pores. That is a deadly poison, that won't show symptoms for as long as 1-2 days! Another common one is the parasol that's yellow. I noticed if I use certain soil / compost mixes a lot of those will come up later in the year. That one isn't known to be deadly poisonous. But there are so many other great edible mushrooms out there, I wouldn't take a chance.
Last trip out here in Idaho a week ago or so we found many boletes but also a couple hawk tail and 3 big blue caps...couple others we are not sure of...One we believe is a white chantrelle and another we think might be a false matsutaki but we are not sure...Anyway...we always love an excuse to go out into the mountains and explore....
Kevin, several mushroom species can grow in fairy circles. The classic "Fairy Ring Mushroom" is Marasmius oreades, though several others can fruit in circles as well.
I found some grey mushrooms exactly like the micro chanterelles but I can't find out what it is? Seeing they aren't actually "exactly" like them because of the color 😉
It's early spring here in Toronto and l found chaga 😁, but my research saids to harvest them in fall? Thank you for all your videos very insightful and sweet.
I just started getting into mushrooms again. I think i found some sort of orangish (i live in new york) amanita muscaria two stages:one with its parasol fully open and the second with its parasol just about to open... i want to go into da woods a know about stuff i hate imagining all the stuff i might be walking by!
Hey, there's a few species that I've been wondering about, and was wondering if you could give me a reference to a guide-book that gives specific and extensive information about the identification of the following species: Panaeolus cinctulus Psilocybe caerulipes Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata Gymnopilus junonius (and the safety of this one, as some descriptions are concerning) Gymnopilus aeruginosus Gymnopilus luteoviridis I'd be interested in learning how to find and identify these particular species, and about their availability in Western Pa. Also, do you know if samples are available anywhere, from some type of mycology group perhaps? Or if there's a group that would accept a sample for identification purposes? Thanks =)
Regarding the ID of these species, I believe David Arora's "Mushrooms Demystified" features many of these mushrooms. Paul Stamets' work "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide" may go in depth, though it's been a while since I've perused that book. All those species you mentioned can be found in Pennsylvania. If you check out the Western PA Mushroom Club, they may be able to help you positively ID mushrooms. It's not uncommon for us to find these species on several of our walks.
Okay thank you, I've taken note of that. I plan on looking into this club as well, Mycology seems like a really fun hobby in general. In fact, I first got interested in the subject when someone I was seeing brought me quite a bit of the Chicken of the Woods species that her family had harvested; and it was delicious. As for the other species I mentioned, I've sought those out before via trade, and am not a stranger to their effects; and I have a very high level of respect for their power. I just have two questions about the club. (1) Are any of the events mandatory to maintain club membership (I lack a vehicle, and its not always possible to travel for long distances on short notice etc.) and (2) what are the fees like associated with the club? Is there one flat-rate membership fee, a monthly/annual fee, fees for individual walks, etc?
Haven... yes, I do find them here in Pennsylvania. We have a variety of the Boletus edulis mushroom, as well as several very closely related species that are very Porcini-like. How about you? Do you ever find any?
Learn Your Land I have not found any Porcini mushrooms like the King Bolete but I am on the search for them! I have already found some places around me where I think they will grow next year. What kind of tree do the Boletes where you live grow?
haven't ... ate the Chanterelles last night (garlic + lemon) very good! much better than chicken-of-the-woods (even when perfect) .. also better than a giant buff we had last time (giant puff french toast is a mushroom-hunter's baldfaced lie) ... definitely better than a tummy ache!!!! i dont seek black trumpets because the samples i find always look questionable.
I had the opportunity to be secretary One summer for Mr. Steven L Peele he offered tours and pamphlets, a spore sample for microscope use only, on One of His pamphlets and videos He and His made a played The music for. And had a subscription in High Times for years. 1989 issue with the pumpkin with Buds, He published an article on identifying deadly mushrooms. Also had a 800 number for overdose mushrooms. High Times did an article on his life from California to Florida about his research on mushrooms it was awesome. Just thought I'd share that.
I live in South Central PA, Juniata County, I was interested in which field guide you'd recommend for this area? The one I have is quite vague, and doesn't have some of the mushrooms shown that my wife and I are finding. Thanks
James, which field guide to you have? I typically recommend several... as one guide is never enough. Mushrooms of Northeastern North America is pretty good, as is Mushrooms & Other Fungi of North America.
Check out local environmental centers, nature organizations, and state parks. They usually have free events, and by attending them, you'll connect with other people who may be able to point you in the right direction.
What a shit year it's been in southern and central Canada this year. There is nothing out. I'm just learning and want to gather and identify but I walk every 2 days and there's nothing out. I'm so bummed out. All the other years I was in the bush and didn't really care there's fungi everywhere....man
Eye-Noss_a-bee! Not In-oh-sibe. I gotta join a club! One of the weirdest fungus I ever found was an eyelash cup. Had it winked at me I think I would have fainted. I wish you lived out west so that you would talk more about what is common out here, but I watch your videos nonetheless.
I think pronunciation is subjective, it's easier for some to pronounce certain things and we all know what they mean, so pronunciation isn't really so important anyway.
I just want to say...Thank you for your wealth of knowledge. After a trip to our local museum, my daughter (I have 3 girls and 1 boy) found a display about mushrooms. She begged me on the spot to study mushrooms this summer. (I homeschool) I scoured the internet for hours looking for information to start a unit study.

The amount of fungus inside your head is hard to believe.....outstanding information!!!
Oh my gosh, the intro to this video was so cute. Thanks for the smile 😊
Thank you. Clear and precise, You have brought to my attention the assiciation of mushrooms to green plants and trees, either feeding them or breaking them down. I find this so interesting that I’m becoming mycol-nutty. I can identify, harvest and eat about 7 edible mushrooms.
I love the detail you put into your videos. Very informative. Thank you
Thanks for the video! For me, one of the best parts of learning about mushrooms is seeing how many different physical forms mushrooms can take. I'm always excited to find something wild looking like calostoma lutescens, dead man's fingers, or a stinkhorn.
Awesome! The Calostoma fungi are always great to see.
Your have the best foraging and mushroom educational videos I've found on UA-cam. Love it! One heck of a good job you. I live in Pacific Northwest and I find your videos useful even though some differences out here. Keep up the great work!! ✌️✌️
Hey thanks Eric! Glad you enjoy these videos!

I love mushrooms. Learning types and edibles mushrooms is a way of understand and growing knowledge
I learn so much from your videos. thank you for taking time tho share the wonderful world of mushrooms with us!
Phenomenally detailed and yet super practical information. Bravo, Adam!
Thanks, Jon!
Thank you for these videos. So enjoyable to watch and packed with info
Great video! Good to see someone willing to teach. 😃. Thank you!
This video might be your best one yet! Keep them coming.

I picked a few quarts of black raspberries and then had to go check my Polyporous umbellatas spot. No signs of any P. umbellatas this spring but I did find an excellent Laetiporus cincinnatius.
Also picked a lot of elder flowers. Time to head back out!
Found a Pleurotus citrinopileatus at 9 pm. That made for a nice ending to a lovely day of black raspberry picking.
Oh dear Lord you are the most positive guy I ever seen on youtube. Keep it fucking up. I love fungi and forest so much
Thanks!
This was amazing. Thank you for teaching us.
awesome! great to share your special finds👍👍👍
Great job! I learn so much watching all your vids!

I find some black trumpets growing out of wood in the winter. Of course I live in Georgia where we can have temperatures that range from the mid 20s at night to the mid 70s during the day.
Damn, It amazes me how much you know off the top of your head? Or do you use Notes in the field to identify all of the Latin names?
Adam, another fantastic and informative video.
One off-topic question I have for you: You spend a lot of time in the woods, and are conscious of your health. What safe method do you use for repelling mosquitos and other biting insects while out in the woods?

Hi Adam! I don't look for mushrooms very often, but I love to eat them and use reishi and chaga tinctures for my father and my health.
Hey David, those are 2 of the best in my opinion! Glad you enjoy them too.
I would like to know which mushrooms are Best for Your autoimmune system for skin issues that I can't find anything to help restore my skin inside and out.

In fact some of the best are the wierdest
Yesterday I found the rusty hedgehog !
Cooool, I have to look those up.
Love to visit it's on my bucket list ☺️ n Ireland.

Hey thanks Joe. :D
This dude knows his land... Take notes fellow Traveler...
awesome Adam, from your friends in Ireland

I have noticed that there are more than one kind of mushroom that look like black Trumpets.

Great video and channel! Still a few weeks away from seeing the first chanterelles in the Fog Belt of the Oregon coast. There are still the tail end of mountain morels and spring king boletes at high elevation though! Have a couple mushroom hunting vids from last year and will have a bunch in the spring season here in OR coming out pretty soon, check them out if you have a chance! Cheers!!!
I'd really love a video that identifies and differentiates alcohol inkies and mica caps. Will you consider it?
Amy, that's a great suggestion. If I find enough Alcohol Inkies this year, I'll try to film something!
Another great video Adam. Can you possibly do one on the Parasol mushrooms? I have some growing in a field near my house and I cannot tell if they're the good ones or the poisonous ones, other videos don't explain all that well, certainly not good enough to take a chance. Thanks

gp van eron if you wouldn't take a chance, there's absolutely no way I'm taking one, it's not worth it. Thanks so much.
Last trip out here in Idaho a week ago or so we found many boletes but also a couple hawk tail and 3 big blue caps...couple others we are not sure of...One we believe is a white chantrelle and another we think might be a false matsutaki but we are not sure...Anyway...we always love an excuse to go out into the mountains and explore....
Sounds like you had a great adventure!
very educational! what kind of mushrooms grow in fairy circles? are they edible?
i noticed it when it was about 3 ft. diameter and 8 years later it is now 30+ ft. diameter
Kevin, several mushroom species can grow in fairy circles. The classic "Fairy Ring Mushroom" is Marasmius oreades, though several others can fruit in circles as well.
@@LearnYourLand Are they edible?
I found some grey mushrooms exactly like the micro chanterelles but I can't find out what it is? Seeing they aren't actually "exactly" like them because of the color 😉

Hey, there's a few species that I've been wondering about, and was wondering if you could give me a reference to a guide-book that gives specific and extensive information about the identification of the following species:
Panaeolus cinctulus
Psilocybe caerulipes
Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata
Gymnopilus junonius (and the safety of this one, as some descriptions are concerning)
Gymnopilus aeruginosus
Gymnopilus luteoviridis
I'd be interested in learning how to find and identify these particular species, and about their availability in Western Pa. Also, do you know if samples are available anywhere, from some type of mycology group perhaps? Or if there's a group that would accept a sample for identification purposes? Thanks =)

Really cool video
Interesting video
Hey Adam it's me Haven and I was wondering if you ever find any Porcini like King Boletes?

all the time in my neck of the woods.
Hey Adam I live in greenhurst on Chautauqua lake .How can I get your newsletter or get a hike in our area to enjoy mushrooms
cheers for the vids
awesome video, thanks!. Landed upon a huge patch of young Laetiporus Cincinnatus this week. Flavor was amazing, better than L. Sulpheurus imo
Awesome! I tend to agree with you on the comparison between L. cincinnatus and sulphureus.
You forgot to tell us if that last species is edible
what general area of the states do these videos take place?
New to mushroom ID...discovered Stinkhorns in neighbour's mulch garden...weird mushroom
Lots of Chanterelles in Harrison Hills Park (Allegheny County) today
Awesome! It's been a great year for them. Have you seen any Black Trumpets?
haven't ... ate the Chanterelles last night (garlic + lemon) very good! much better than chicken-of-the-woods (even when perfect) .. also better than a giant buff we had last time (giant puff french toast is a mushroom-hunter's baldfaced lie) ... definitely better than a tummy ache!!!! i dont seek black trumpets because the samples i find always look questionable.
really cool as usual....and informative.....thx man....find some "magic mushrooms" next time....
Thanks for watching!
LoL I can't believe how many comments about that 😂.

It's simply titled "Mushrooms", Dorling Kindersley handbooks, with Thomas Laessoe & Gary Lincoff
How would I find out who I could contact in eastern Indiana to show me some wild edibles in my area?

Cant watch that music sounds like fart.
Eye-Noss_a-bee! Not In-oh-sibe. I gotta join a club! One of the weirdest fungus I ever found was an eyelash cup. Had it winked at me I think I would have fainted.
I wish you lived out west so that you would talk more about what is common out here, but I watch your videos nonetheless.
I think pronunciation is subjective, it's easier for some to pronounce certain things and we all know what they mean, so pronunciation isn't really so important anyway.
@@fungusenthusiast8249 Haha, yeah, It's like a foreign language that most people don't hear very much. But I try to get it right.
