Had no idea you could actually eat the white sections. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your knowledge and information, I'll have to give them a try , I hunt around a lot of hemlocks I'll keep a eye out for they, keep on keeping on, Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks. Really enjoying this series on fungi. Great quality of filming too. Excellent.
Thanks!
thank you for another amazing video, I love pensylvania, i love hunting in PA, AWSOME AS ALWAYS!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!!
Lucky guy to have a beautiful n healthy forest near by... Please take home the whole mushroom next time. Eat the tip n make tea (+honey) with the rest. Delicious meal n a healthy drink. Double benefit :)
good video, here in indiana county there is more white oak and ash and cherry than Hemlock. The only place that has a lot of hemlocks is up in Deckers Point, and up in Punxy. Northern Indiana county is were they are mosly located for my county, but as you gradgely get higher up in the state, there are more up in Clarion, and cooks forest. Love the video
Thanks! yes, there are alot up here in clarion
I live in Erie , PA. Good day brother. I just found Reishi today. I feel really lucky. Great video man I subscribed. From a fellow Pennsylvanian. Cheers mate!
Thank you for all the wild edibles videos.
You're welcome!
I love your videos they help
Me and my friends!
Thanks! Glad the videos help
You should get a vent for that gas stove though bruh; haven't you seen the memes? Those things are dangerous and banned in a bunch of places, like NY. I hope I find some Rishi though; I appreciate the tutorial and added confidence in being able to find it here in PA ... wish me luck from McKean County.
Thank you John & Danielle! After you cut the white edge off, does the V.C. then die or can you come back to harvest larger ones for dryin to make tea?? Take care you two!! Regards, Old John
I was told if you get it early it may grow back some. I have never really cut any off and went back to check on it to know for sure
I live in southern Brazil and have found a few dark orange mushrooms, could it be a different strain of ganoderma? It grows on a hardwood log, we dont have hemlocks here, thanks!
A great, great video.
Yes your right. I found chicken of the wood for the first time, an I had stomach problems for two days.
What about when they loose their whitish edge and turn all brown?Can you still process them into a tea in that phase of growth.I have three,one being about 14",and two smaller ones from the same stump.
Yes, for a short time you can. Usually by the end of July ( depending on location ) they can still be useful and harvested. Most people try to pick them right about when the white edge is 1/4 or less or right when the white is gone. If you let them go too long they will start to get old and turn a deep maroon color. the brighter the color the better. I have never used them in a tea but I am sure you did alittle research online you could find more info than I could provide on harvest time and how to use it.
Yeah the ones I have are a maroonish brown color.I'm searching other youtube videos on how to make the tea.There are about 8 nice ones on a log along the nearby stream that still have the whitish edges.I'm gonna see if I can get to them on time.Thanks for getting back to me.Great video.
If you still see some with white edges those would be perfect ones to pick! Thanks!
Gotcha.I'll use the others for either tea or tinder
In the woods around, I found many fungus with similar shape but light brown/yellow collor, without long stem. do you think it is another kind of Reishi and edible? Thanks!
I feel like youve wasted half the mushroom by harvesting like you did. Do you know if cutting them like that kills the whole fruit or will the repair and regrow?
Very educational and informative thankyou
What state are you in? I live in Michigan and finding true Reishi is rare here
I think those are called corpse beetles. They love oyster mushrooms.
Do varnish caps usually grow singularly? I’ve seen (what I presume is) ganoderma mushrooms growing in cluster shelves that I thought was hemlock varnish!
Yes they usually grow singularly but can be very close together with others that from a distance could look like a cluster
Found these but they were red almost to edges, I'll look again next year. thank you!
I would compare the texture of the outermost edge a little bit like liver and not bad tasting thanks for sharing !
Seems like a waste to leave the mushroom bodies, they could be dried and used as a medicinal tea.
its good to leave a fair ammount so they can continue to drop spores in peace. its all about sustainability
Where I live they are just starting! I'm new to reishi. Do you harvest all summer as they get big? Liked and subbed.
No, usually just from june to mid july depending on location
Thanks. I think we may almost be a month behind you guys. I harvested one so far and that's only because it was trying to grow through a branch and there was a nice one erupting behind it. And I wanted to taste it , lol. Wasn't bad either. I live on a plateau which is usually a week behind lower elevation areas here as well. Happy hunting
Leatherwoodoutdoors2 brother. .I live in AZ ..can you send to me 1.pc sample pls..?.I would like to buy a sample of it..pls bro..I'm appreciated. .thanks bro
I have some on ebay for sale , Health & Beauty , tl501960 , "reishi" . These are dry and sliced though , not for sautaing like leatherwoodoutdoors2 is doing. Great medicine though. Got turkey tail , gano ap. and chaga on there too. Great prices too , cheap and high quality
Great spot
Biggest and oldest hemlock stand on the Eastern Seaboard. Can you name it?
This type of mushroom are available my village forest too.
Found a lot of this mushroom in the woods
Can u identify a mushroom for me its in my latest video.. white ish black from out ,. Small pores at the bottom.. and woody brown from inside!!!?
Thanks for the video and infos
Thank you for sharing
why dont you eat the whole mushroom including the red part?
Almost July and reishi is Huge this year. Picking for medicine market. Bringing out 50-60 pounds per trip. This mushrooms are great as medicine but not that tasty for table fare , ( in my opinion) I don't harvest them that young usually anyhow. I eat a little of the white part raw just to gross people out lol. People should pick ( or buy) and use as medicine. These are called "the mushroom of imotality" in asian culture , called Ling zhi. It's cousin gano lucidum , reishi , has been studied and used for centuries.
What the name of the park please?
Do these mushrooms only grow on hemlock trees ?
yes
Then the one I found must not be a reishi (varnish cap), because the one I found was growing in the planter underneath a shrub in my condo association. It looks very similar. I replanted it on my deck.
@@H.C.Q. same
Nice!
hey leatherwood how close to New bethlehem do you live i have a brother and sister that live there
thats my hometown
Leatherwoodoutdoors2 wow that's way cool I love your educational vids keep em coming
would you be related to Verlyn Halteman who has the tree service?
yes that's unreal he's my nephew......he's the pastor at my brother's church👍👍
how bout Phill Mullet the mason....block layer...he's my brother inlaw
I hope you're not wasting the rest of these mushrooms, the edible young edge is not the only value to this mushroom. Otherwise, it's a big waste! Why not harvest the entire mushroom, eat the edge and make tea or tincture from the rest?
not every mushroom must be harvested, if everyone went and picked every reishi they saw, there'd be lower yields in following years. you wanna keep these little guys coming back every year.
I wish you hadn't plucked off that young reishi mushroom. It wasn't even close to being ready to harvest.

Hey 👋 I got mushrooms, LSD, bars,
psilocybin, Dmt, Ayahuasca, nomes, i got all psychedelic products.
If it's ur first time to eat something, your stomach will react..but soon you'll get used to the food and your stomach will soon be okay..from my experience eating biryani...
You are not letting them finish growing and send their spores out. That's why there aren't more on that log you are killing them by harvesting too soon and only taking the white part
I have found this not to be so. I have let trees go unharvested and ended up with the same result.

There worth some money to restaurant. Just saying.
NOT edible.
That butter defeats the purpose of health food, sorry ut but butter whether organic o regular is far far from being a health food.
Too bad you ruined that mushroom with that butter, could have used just some vegetable based oil
I understand butter may not be an excellent health choice, but I'm not eating the mushroom for the health benefits. Better to make it into tea for that. I am just eating it for the taste and I like butter.
Margarine is from vegetable oil.
@@Leatherwoodoutdoors2 Love that you're using butter! It's a great fat!
WHAT A FRIKIN WASTE! IF YOU COULD FIND A BULK BUYER, TO WORK ALL YEAR=MORE HUNTING TIME.
Damned blue jays are loud!
