Well remeber everyones taste is different. That being said to me they are mild flavored. They are good but to me nothing to write home about. A friend of mine loves them. I give him most of what I find ! Many people like them prepared with scrambled eggs I suggest you try them that way first. I have made a video on cooking stump, or honey fungus on youtube already !
I still call them stumpy's, cowsmouth, and shrimps. I just pick them and eat them ! I don't worry about all that nonsense. Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you learned something from it. Watch my other mushroom videos.
you wash different mushrooms differently hen of the woods can get extremely dirty and difficult to clean. You have to cut it in pieces and remove the dirt in the center of the meat.
FINALLY! I found a Mushroom VID that I actually started to learn something with (after 3 or 4 others VID's). The others were just like watching them forage/collect. But you point out differences, what a 1st-time education for me! Wifey & I will be looking for a reference guide for native species to Colorado. Thank you very kindly for your presentation Sir!
Most mushrooms aren't parasites. Most species are saprophytes that live off of dead plant material. The other type is mycorrhiza symbionts which work together with the plant. Their mycelium attach to the plants roots allowing for it to collect water and in return the plant or tree gives it certain nutrients. Some of them are specific to certain plant species as you have stated with mushrooms like hen of the woods preferring oaks. I'm still a bit nervous about picking and eatng mushrooms so videos like this are nice. Thank you.
Don't be nervous about eating hen of the woods and other easy identifiable mushrooms. The ones I cover in these series are not easily mistaken for something else ! Also sorry I am not trying to criticize you. I appreciate your comments, but you are over reading into things. Maybe I am sloppy in my terminology, but in my mind a parasite is something feeding alive. Some fungus attack living trees eventually killing the tree
Thanks for the info Larry. The video was very informative. It's been very hard to find someone with the knowledge and information that you have shown in this video. Hope your doing well. And thanks again.
Thank you very much Theron. I am glad you learned from it. I hope you watched the whole series. Check out my spring vs fall mushrooming you will learn even more. Take the time to look at all my shrooming vid. I think you will learn much much more about mushrooms !
No I don't, sorry because these mushrooms are calcified as toxic. Do your home work and before you ingest some for that reason. I deal mostly with mushrooms that are considered medicinal and nutritional. I would say don't eat them, but your choices are your own. Others have question me this. Every mushroom that enters your body, it react differently ! Do you know someone who is elect to something ? The same could be true. I half a friend who cannot eat hen of the woods / miatake. Which millions of people eat ! He gets nausea and green diarrhea and nausea, go figure. Every body's reacts different to different things. Be carful with what you do. Above all study.
The video was good. However, what's going on with your nose and mouth? Distracting nose and mouth noises and scratchy, gravely voice. Please see a doctor and/or drink water and gargle with oil.
Since I have been older my voice and my sinuses have changed. I think its due to haven worked with breathing Isopropyl alcohol for over 20 years on the job !
People who are from Japan China Korea Thailand extra are referred to as ASIANS as a group. The word you used is antiquated at best and derogatory and racist at worst.
Good Maggie I am glad you enjoyed it and learned some things. Watch my other mushroom videos as I have several. Especially my vid Fall verses spring mushroom hunting. You will get an idea of the volume that is available to you in the fall !
I use honey mushrooms from my front yard (site of a maple tree that had to be cut down) as an introduction to foraging for any who are curious about it. They make a truly great spaghettis sauce when paired with Roma's from the garden AND there are usually pounds and pounds of them ... so I don't mind sharing. :-)
Thank you very much glad it was helpful. Try and watch all 4 videos as I cover other important factors. Get a field guide and study. Stick with the beginners mushrooms. There are thousands of species of mushrooms in America alone, most of which are uncharted. So good luck hunting. If I can be of any further help. Feel free to contact me !
+Douglas Hatfield Sorry for the delayed response, been without internet ! in winter there are some mushrooms that fruit but few and it depends on the area.
well i just started looking into hunting mushrooms i got a guide coming enjoyed your videos seems like no one in the area here that hunt's them but with the info from you and a few others on here and my guide i think i'll be safe thanks for the videos
Thank you for the video. I saw these (inky blacks) mushrooms growing in my apartment complex. Wondered and studied and finally picked and tested and ate. They were fantastic! The fascinating part was that they did almost turn to ink... thick and dark in a bowl that I left just to see what would happen. Now I hunt Manes, Morel's, puffball's and hen of the woods. Please keep the video's coming and if I get some good video's, I hope to contrbute.
No they are different.The hen of the woods is called that, because like a grouse it is camouflaged. To the untrained eye is difficult to see at a distance. It grows at the base of old oak trees or stumps. Which were you concentrate your efforts. The so called chicken of the woods or sulfur shelf is so named.Because some say taste like chicken. I do not agree to me it taste slightly salty and seems to absorb what ever its cooked in.If it is cooked in onion and butter It taste like onion and butter salted. As far as its appearance. It is extremely different. It is called sulfur shelf or chicken of the woods. Because its color is that of sulfur. Bright yellow or orange and grows in layers hence shelf. Normally it is bright orange on the top and bright yellow on the bottom. It is a poly pore mushroom like the hen of the woods and has holes on the bottom instead of gills.I hope this has helped you. If not text me further and I will try to give more explanation.
+Outdoors West Virginia Your welcome, thanks for the good comment. Mushrooms grow in all 52, but different ones grow in different states you'll have to study and get out there and hunt em to find out what grows in your area. I live in southern Michigan. As far as I know the hen of the woods does not grow in northern Mich. I have never seen them up there ! I believe they grow in WV look in power line cuttings and especially in logged over areas where there was a lot of oak cut 3 to 5 years ealier.
No Many I pick from experience and some handed down, but that's a good idea. Get at least one field guide to help you. A company called field& forest products has several, or you can even go to the library and use one.
@@horizanadventures I only go for the psychedelic ones lol specifically liberty caps and psilosybe cyanescens (wavy caps) but I would never pick them😂😂😂
A lot of people don't like the taste of mushrooms. Most of the wild species have different flavors especially that from the store bought agricus. Your right they have great nutritional value and new studies are being conducted all the time.
@@horizanadventures yeah I've heard they can taste different I picked some nice chanterelles a while back and they smelled really nice but I gave then to a friend who appreciated them very much
+joseph hagood Not to my knowledge, but you have to identify its a shaggy mane. Before you start picking shaggy buttons. Because remember there are some poisonous white ones. Pay attention to the shagginess on the cap. The poisonous white ones the caps are smooth. Also the shag's caps are elongated like a closed umbrella !
I went say yes and I wont say no. I personally never eat wild mushrooms raw and I don't recommend doing it. I eat the store bought mushrooms raw. the little white button ones which are in the agcricus family. But you have to remember they are grown in a controlled environment. wild mushrooms on the other hand, are exposed to all kinds of bacteria in the woods and fields where they grow. Also wild mushrooms have many different properties, enzymes, and minerals. you don't know what kind of effect they might have on you ! You have to try and remember they are people that can eat certain kinds of poison mushrooms and it does not harm them. On the other hand I have a friend who can't eat hen of the woods which is very popular and is extremely good for your body. He gets diarrhea and indigestion.
Raw mushrooms such as button mushroom contain slightly toxic alkaloids which can cause a to ache. Cooking the mushrooms neutralize the alkaloid. I always cook my mushrooms.
Marley Robles The mushroom cellular walls contain Chitin, which is difficult for humans to digest. Applying heat helps break down the chitin and allow nutrients to be accessed. Raw mushrooms have little accessible nutritional value and increased risk of contamination by bacteria or molds, etc. Cook your shrooms!

"Orientals"! HAAAA! I definitely know you're old school! Do you still say "Negroes"? LMAO. Anywho, EXCELLENT video!
I still call them stumpy's, cowsmouth, and shrimps. I just pick them and eat them ! I don't worry about all that nonsense. Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you learned something from it. Watch my other mushroom videos.
Tiffany Jones I caught that too😂 And yeah this was a good video
Giving it a good tap before picking is also a good way to spread spores
you wash different mushrooms differently hen of the woods can get extremely dirty and difficult to clean. You have to cut it in pieces and remove the dirt in the center of the meat.
As a person with a scientific background, your explanations are so simple and elegant and to the point, I wish you taught my biology class
Thank you I appreciate your kind comments
This video was really great. It was informational, descriptive, well done. And therapeutic to watch
Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy doing them :)
Thanks so much I think your video's are great.

the mushroom in the thumbnail looked like a dragon skull
Its been cut off, that's not how it looks whole !
hi sir do you have a video on magic mushrooms ? I would like to be inform before i partake
No I don't, sorry because these mushrooms are calcified as toxic. Do your home work and before you ingest some for that reason.

Larry Cross thank you sir! 😅
very nice mooshrooms! in Russia too
Were those gymnopilus junonius? Or however you spell it lol 😆 I’ve seen those clusters in SC any advice appreciated
Mushrooms also have the highest density of protein per calorie of any plant food or animal flesh.
The people are not called orientals. Orientals are rugs. Asians are people.
Thanks for the vid though.
go to my channel to find cooking video. I might consider a cooking video
The video was good. However, what's going on with your nose and mouth? Distracting nose and mouth noises and scratchy, gravely voice. Please see a doctor and/or drink water and gargle with oil.

I am sorry if I offended you. People who are offended by words. Are thin skinned and are offended by anything and everything you can imagen.
Thank you very much. It's very informative, and I'm a mushroom eater. I may hate most of the veggies, but I sure not miss mushrooms

Thank you I appreciate your watching and comments and welcome them
No thank you I am currantly working on part 2

In Thailand there is no such mushroom,but it is a fun and a great meal,I like this very much
No but in china there is. Its called miatake there !
Or as its known to the orientals... lmao
Ok that's a new one, never heard that one before
Thanks
Worst audio of all time...
the audio gets better around 3:30 or 3:50
I guess chicken of the woods and Hen of the woods are different mushrooms right? or the same?

I had some shaggy manes on my garden bed. Nice to identify them finally.
+Chipperowski Good I am glad you identified them. Now enjoy them and find more. :)
Do they grow on living trees
Do you wash them and how ?
Hey thanks man! I hope i can find some here in WV, Great content

Do your research on every mushroom u pick and use 3 different sources of information to be sure
No Many I pick from experience and some handed down, but that's a good idea. Get at least one field guide to help you. A company called field& forest products has several, or you can even go to the library and use one.
@@horizanadventures I only go for the psychedelic ones lol specifically liberty caps and psilosybe cyanescens (wavy caps) but I would never pick them😂😂😂
I personally hate the taste and texture of mushrooms but they have great nutritional value if u don't pick bad ones like most of the amanitas lol

great vid. what kind of camera are you using?
Its a JVC 3ccd
This is very informative and interesting - thank you.
take a look at my new video. ua-cam.com/video/r9qdm4YDzAI/v-deo.html
Very informative. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it your welcome. Look at my other mushroom videos I think you will like them as well.
Nice.
You should improve your sound before putting videos up..very frustrating to have to watch :-(
Eduardo Rivera Sorry older camera
I love this video
Be sure to look at all my mushroom videos. I think you will find them interesting and will learn a lot.
"the oriental" lol what dude?
I am sorry what do you call people from the orient ?
just Asian is fine
Can shrooms be eaten fresh

Loozpatienz Yes thank I couldn't agree with you more. Stay away from white until you get lots of experience, and stay away from raw !
Or just dead trees
