Porcini dry really well too and taste great even reconstituted. I powder them, mix with flour and make the most wonderful pasta out of it....all year long. Great video as always, thank you .
Your videos are good luck. Went out for chanterelles today in northern California, found an awesome porcini. Tis the season!
I can tell this brotha worked in the kitchen before. Great job looks bomb 🔥🔥🔥
Outstanding!
Oh man, this is year 1 of foraging for me and I cannot wait to get my hands on a porcini to try it ! They look so fun !!
Oh wow, great tip about the basket. I've been using a bucket, but will switch to a basket to help spread the spores for future seasons.
Great Video Aaron! Looked delicious! Thank you
Awesome... love the catch and cook videos!
Awesome video! We had the biggest Porcini spawn in terms of both amount and mushroom size that I've ever seen here on Lake Superior. Banger year!
Aaron,your videos are so inspiring.The porcinis,yum-o!
Hen of the woods are in season at NW Pennsylvania.
Happy foraging ✌️
I find these in the yard of my school, they popped up last year and came back this year.
Wow that looks incredible. The homemade sauce is where its at. Loved this video and can't wait to find some Porcinis.
I found some porcini yesterday!
Wow…wish I could find some of those❤
I just gathered two King Bolete mushrooms from the forest, now I know what to do with them, thank you!!
First video I've seen, 98% sure he's worked in a kitchen before
Great video as always!
Awesome meal
Much Love!
Nice! Definitely on my list. Just found a couple Maitake’s last weekend
I just found a MONSTER king bolete in Colorado. This thing is huge! 7" diameter and the stem is 4"!! Thanks for the advice, I'm new to mushrooming.
@@bandjolyn awesome! I've been up there in the hills by telluride, you guys get awesome summer mushrooms!
@@mushroomwonderland1 Yea it's been a really good year so far. I just wish I was a bit more experienced. I just cut my monster open and it's so clean, no bugs!
Great video Aaron! Thanks so much!
Great job sir.
Awesome Dude!!
Looks bussin 👍🏼
Looked delicious always wanted to go Cepe hunting!
So lucky to live in bavaria we have tons of porcini every year❤
Yay!!!
Still hoping to find some of these this fall 🤞
That made me hungry.
Yeah Brah! So effin' hungry now. Didn't find 'em locally here this year...so bummin.
I found 2 black velvet boletes in Quilcene today. I guess they are west of the Rockies.
I've found one of them up near Snoqualmie pass before
Loved your presentation. Professional job well done.
I typically don't subscribe to others, but this one is so well done that I just had to.
Here in Wyoming and Utah we also get Boletus edulis and also Boletus borrowsii.
Both are my favorite wild species. I'll have to try your recipe. I love them grilled on the BBQ basted with olive oil, garlic, basal, oregano, and yes, mint.
Keep up the good work.
Been looking for them at 300' .. not finding them yet.
Look in dominantly spruce forests.
Are any of the mushrooms you find also in other locations in the US? I live in the mountains of VA.
Can you find porchini in banner? I want to make some for my family. Loving the videos!! ❤
What's your opinion on slimy jacks? We have a ton of them here in Montana. Squirrels seem to like them. look really similar to the king boletes.
Do any grow in the Midwest, indiana,?
Thanks for another cool video Aaron. Do you find porcinis are often “trail runners”, or do you have just as much luck foraging them farther off the trail? I live in Western WA and forage all the common edibles, and always wonder which ones are more likely to be found closer to the trails where spores might be more easily spread.
Definitely! My first big patch I ever discovered is right next to a trail. They seem to like that.
For me in Wyoming and Utah I'll often find them on edges of where conifers meet on open meadow.
Species such as Coprinus comatus (Shaggy mane)
I find most always on disturbed ground on the side of trails, walkways, and forest roads.
Aaron, do you attend the monthly meetings at the Rotunda? Or are they Zooming, right now? Id definitely like to go to one!
I do attend them in person!
What are your thoughts on Panellus serotinus and edibility? Seems to be some confusion. Thx
Would they grow in west Kootenays, Castlegar, BC area?
Found a good patch of shrimp russalas this weekend, would it be fair to say theres a good chance of finding lobsters in that same area? My underatanding is they essentially are russalas
Not necessarily, but I suspect the lobsters are all done for the season by now if you're in the PNW or Southwestern BC. The host mushroom here is Russula brevipes, and they seem to appear very early in the season. I was picking lobsters in a chanterelle area a month ago when conditions were still very warm and dry. Only found one or two chanterelles, but the lobsters were everywhere.
Great video. DO you have one book on PNW Mushrooms you would recommend that I get?
Mushrooms of the redwood coast is my go-to! Thanks for watching
What if I live where they grow? Can I just get them started on trees or logs in or near my yard?
(my location is the Northern Oregon Coast Range)
No, that would be great but they're far more elusive than that.
Don't be duped into buying a porcini grow kit, it's a scam. If you have lots of mature sitka spruce or grand fir in your yard, you MIGHT get lucky if you introduced them, but you'd be holding your breath for a few years while they get established. If you're out foraging these, have a second container for all the ones that are fully mature and/or too buggy for consumption. Break them up, mix them in the dirt surrounding your conifer roots, and cross your fingers. Don't expect anything though.
Is porcini better than morels? I had morel but not porcini so I'm curious
Having had spring king boletes once and morels a handful of times, I would say I like the flavor and texture of the boletes over that of the morels. The texture was firm and potato like, and the flavor was mildly nutty, almost like pistachios.
@FeelGr8M8 wow sounds very yummy I hope I would get to eat it before I die...
Hey there! I’m was a chef turned company owner. Would you like to hunt mushrooms here on orcas island and we could do a cooking video? I just did some crab brittle gill mac and cheese with chicken and thought it might be fun to team up
I have some pictures of some mushrooms I've been unable to identify and I would love someone who knows what they're talking about to take a look at them.
Are you a member of Facebook? I suggest joining some of the identification forums on Facebook and uploading them there. I can't personally appeal to all of the ID requests that come through on this channel, but the internet is a treasure trove of helpful resources and people who are more than eager to help identify your mushrooms!
Where is this Mushroom buyer located? I might have something to sell when i go foraging this weekend.
Randall or Trout Lake
Found 10lbs up at 3200ft. You say elevation doesn't matter but I've only found em high up 3k+ or on the coast never in between.
We find TONS of them around the shores of Lake Superior at only 600ft above sea level!
It's not so much the elevation as it is the plants and trees the mushroom associates with that grow at certain elevations. At 3200 feet, you'll find them associating with the mountain hemlocks, and down near the coast, you'll find them with Sitka spruce and grand fir. I've found them 15 km from the nearest inlet (idk, maybe that's still "on the coast") at just 130m in elevation.
West Washington. Found some under Douglas firs in town. Keep your eyes open.
@@thecook8964 I did see some downtown by a lake sw wa
Seems like all these edible mushrooms only grow in the Pacific Northwest. Though never see mushrooms in my area, since I live in a metro with no forests near by for hundreds of miles
What a score! What trees do they have a relationship with Aaron? @mushroomwonderland
Mostly conifers!
@michaelgeary9370 thank you but I don’t know what that means lol! I know names, like maple, evergreen, cedar, etc. Would you mind giving me an example? Is a conifer a needled tree?
@@GuardianAngelWatcher Oh sorry! Yeah conifers are needled trees that grow cones for fruit/seed. So pines would be a great place to start.
@@michaelgeary9370I’m surrounded here with coniferous forests, so that’s wonderful news! Thank you so much! I found a few small brittle gilled bolletes and some scotch bonnets yesterday, and that was fun! I want to find some choice edibles though!
I have best luck with sitka spruce and Douglas fir. It's possible there are others though.
I can tell this brotha worked in the kitchen before. Great job looks bomb 🔥🔥🔥
