Keep in mind that some of the deadliest mushrooms also produce white spore prints. You are also using other identifying characteristics besides the important spore print. SOME of the deadly lookalikes that may hang around near Honeys have rusty colored or brown spore prints. Not a good beginner's mushroom to eat but study and learn by all means.
these will colonize on most just about any American hardwood tree that isn't a conifer. So oak, hickory, birch, etc. And they don't just grow on the stumps, they'll also grow off any remaining roots even if a tree has been removed.. They'll even colonize on some non-Native hardwoods like Privet [ligustrum] (which are prevalent in the US as a hedging shrub).
I just tried one cap and eager to pick the rest of the 3 good clusters leave the huge mature patches cuz they buggy. but butter+ salt it was amazing, like crispy meat cooked well, my first edible find
A really tough look alike named "Jack -O- Lantern", has "cream" colored spore prints. So, be super careful there. Cream vs white. For the edible ringless Honey, there is a high chance of two things. 1) darkening of the stem near the base, and, 2) a fuzzy patch in the center of the cap.
We have serious white rot issues from these little boogers. We harvest and eat them, but it would be wonderful if every deciduous tree and shrub( oaks, fruit trees, rosebushes) on the property werent dying slowly from it, lol.
Just got back from a foraging trip. Found a woods full of these, Chickens (all past prime, unfortunately), Chanterelle (smooth), and Summer Oysters. Even found a few Green Russula and some Ginseng. It was a good day. 😎
I'll let the grocery store pick out my mushrooms. I can never be sure what variety is growing, and my eyesight isn't good enough to make out the details.
Thanks for the video. We've started mushroom hunting this year and have been hesitant to try to many so far. However, we did get some delicious chantrelle's early summer. I've read about spore prints being necessary in the Audubon book but didn't know how to do it. I appreciate the demonstration
@@JaxxDrinkwater You should have included that counsel in the video - maybe you can stick it in somewhere, it's critical info. Nice video otherwise, best wishes!
@@JaxxDrinkwater Definitely.... when I was a beginner I was 9i% sure while camping that I had hit the jackpot and I mean JACKPOT! on 🐔 of woods, but since I was only 98% sure I left them alone. When I got home I learned by photos I took I was 100% correct 😅
Jaxx Drinkwater can someone please help me I don't know what to do because I read something in a book about ringless honey mushroom we have to boil them before you eat them but I don't know how long or how to do it and people said to cook them but im I'm not going to eat them I want to prepare them for other people and then sell it to them please help
Jaxx Drinkwater. ok well thnx but how do i prepare them to be eating like do i boil em then dry or what cause i want to get them ready tommorow but eat 5hem a few days later
Just harvest my first batch of ringless. I only ate a half of one.. lol can't be to careful. Lol ¹but did a spore print. ²checked the flesh/meat. ³ clustering and grew around a stump. Still nervous. 🤞🏾🙏🏾 so I cooked 2 tops ate a ½ of one...
Wait, so anything that leaves a white spore print is edible? Cause if Im taking a trip, I'd like to have a heads up. None of these surprise train rides like in college.. (never trust the kool-aid unless you made it)
No! Sometimes poisonous mushrooms give off a white spore print in just depends on the type of mushroom. For instance ,the Honey mushroom grows on roots and stumps but another similar looking mushroom to the Honey is the Deadly Galerina which grows on stumps as well but the spore print is a rust colored brown. Now that's not to say all mushrooms that have rust-colored spore prints are bad or that white spore prints are good. Sometimes a rust color may be the good one and the white the bad, it just depends on the mushrooms.
Jaxx Drinkwater This is why I tend to steer clear of fungi. I dont know enough about it. One day I need to expand my horizons beyond just those little gold guys that grow on cow patties :p

as long as it is edible you don't have to do any of that first you can cook it how you like I think however you shouldn't consume alcohol whilst eating a certain type of mushrooms
is a spore print like a dna check?...great information....I wish I new more about identifying wild mushrooms....reminds me of the puffer fish sushi challenge that they do in Japan that if it is not prepared correctly it is deadly....I see you are like me Jaxx, you have some of that Evel Keneval dna in you!
Haha "Knievel" Probably so yo! A spore print is just one more way to rule out a good or bad mushroom. For instance ,the Honey mushroom grows on roots and stumps but another similar looking mushroom to the Honey is the Deadly Galerina which grows on stumps as well but the spore print is a rust colored brown. Now that's not to say all mushrooms that have rust-colored spore prints are bad or that white spore prints are good. Sometimes a rust color may be the good one and the white the bad, it just depends on the mushrooms. I am by no means an expert though and I'm still learning. What I do is when I see a mushroom I take several pics of the top ,bottom, stem, I note if there is a veil or no veil. Press on it underneath and the top to see if it bruises and if it does I note the color. Hell, I even moleste the damn thing haha! Anyway I take all that info home and just do research.
it's a lifelong journey when you get interested in mushrooms. you'll need to learn your trees and shrubs too, almost before you learn the mushrooms. the ability to properly identify your mushrooms with a "key" and visuals, not to mention occasionally by smell, is a lifelong endeavour, and worth every minute of study. My fave thing. :)
I've been seeing these for several years all in our yard once or twice a year. It seems like they start popping up overnight. I assume they had to be 'Bad Guys', since they always seem to be on or around rotting wood & dying trees. I have been deeply concerned for many years now because all the trees on our property, & in our area, are starting to perish. From this he grotesque slurping pine beetles killing all our beautiful majestic Pines to an almost as gross, but just as deadly fungus killing all our Hardwoods, particularly our Oaks and Hickory trees. Those the squirrels, Chipmunks, ect... get the bulk of their diet from. So the last couple years I went from stomping them flat to the ground, to picking them all up with gloved hands, gathering up several grocery bags of them, many times, only to toss them into the garbage. But here lately I've been noticing a lot of videos on forging and I live out in the woods. So I think I need to take advantage of the situation, especially now with the price of groceries! And I LOVE MUSHROOMS! I'm the only one that would eat it my husband doesn't even eat the ones in the grocery store and he will definitely think I'm crazy, and forbid me to do so, so I can't even let him know I'm going to try it. I have watched several of these videos on honey mushrooms so far and I'm going to watch more before I taste, but meanwhile at least I know how to do a Spore count and I've got that going on now. If these turn out to be the real thing, I've got to find it out some kind of way to store them either by freezing or canning because I'm going to have a crap load of them. And that's just in my yard. That's not counting the extra two acres of wooded area we have, or my neighbor's yard, or the vacant lot next door. I'll be willing to bet every penny I have to my name, which is very little, but anyway,I bet that no one else in my neighborhood realizes that these are edible. If anybody knows any way to cook them let me know or any other advice. I can't wait to go looking for ghost mushrooms and Morales (spelling???) I don't have a lot of hope to finding either since I've walked this property many times but a lot of the ground is thick with dead leaves and straw from years and years of laying there. My luck, I will kick away a pile of leaves and instead of finding mushrooms and I'll find a Bed of rattlesnakes ...lol.. I will come back and give update with the Spore count... oh how I love anticipation!
If you have any tall trees around your home you may want to cut them down. Honey fungus will attack your tree roots, which can lead to its death. Once a tree's roots are infected, it can be tough to control. In fact, your tree can quickly become unstable, and tree removal might be your best option if that's the case
you putting butter onbthat? of course I'm putting butter on that! what type of wierdo do you take me for? LMFAO can't tell you how many times I hear that from my wife! Hey how did they turn out?
he should be doing the spore print longer and in various containers because although this are honey mushrooms, the spore prints aren't clear enough for new mushroom identifiers to see. I definitely wouldn't be sure you it's poisonous if I didn't already know what the mushroom is.

Cook for at least 15 - 20 minutes. You can also cook in oil and water then soft off the liguid then freeze dry refrig to use in soups stews later
Thanks for the info!
Lucky dog. I’m learning as I go you just showed me my first time ever how to do a spore print. Thanks brother I’m into these mushrooms too.

Very cool. We don't see them much here in Georgia

I can't or would not argue with that decision my friend.
Umm, just pulled into a forest to camp. And found a couple bundles of mushrooms. They look just like them ringless honeys...
Fascinating stuff...learned somethin new..Thanks Jaxx
Thank you for the comment. The honey mushroom does grow in your area too. You live in Florida yes?
I do, north florida..I don't think I've seen these though
I found a bunch of those a couple days ago, they were too old but they were hiding a rishi.

Not a problem man. Be careful. If you think you are 100% only take a few bites and wait 4 to 8 hours.

Some of these popped up in my yard overnight. I’m worried about my dogs eating them ? Are they deadly if not cooked
I don't believe so, but I'm not sure about dogs - I would remove them just in case.
@@JaxxDrinkwater thanks for the info.
Love mushrooms. Never saw the spore print either. I learned!
Glad you survived ;) So how did they end up tasting?
They ended up tasting great.. Good stuff
Good stuff! I need to learn more about this "spore print" stuff- I have no clue which mushrooms are edible and which will kill you dead. Thanks Jaxx!
It's easy stuff just make sure you are 100% sure not 99%
So glad you made it through!
Me too!

Maybe cook them like I did in this video. Saute' them in butter.

It's his first time with that mushroom but from some of the comments you can tell he has a sound base.
