- Don't do the things you see on the internet, kids. But if you do forage for edible mushrooms in Alabama, I highly recommend the chanterelles.

When I first moved to Alabama, I was pleasantly surprised to discover chanterelle mushrooms popping up along the back of my house. With a little more hunting, I found many more in the woods, along with other #ediblemushrooms like boletes, wood ear and oyster mushrooms. The chanterelles are my favorite though. Be careful when mushroom hunting - don't make mistakes and destroy your organs! Seriously, if in doubt, don't eat it! Or ask @sporeprints first. - Навчання та стиль

I'm from Washington and now live in South Alabama. I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted a chanterelle in my yard. We used to have hike deep into the woods in Western Washington to find them. Now, they are literally in my yard 😀
I love boletes. There's a website called the bolete filter that handily identifies most of them and tells you if they're edible. Most are, and very very very few will cause serious harm if you mess up. For that reason, I think of boletes as my chubby little forest friends
Thank you. Since i am not sure of wild mushrooms, i ordered sawdust spores of winecaps. I made a bed of cardboard, straw, and wood chips next to a small shaded wooded area, put up a tarp for shade, and praying for rain! (I am keeping it moist by sprinkler). If it works, might have some in oct. or nov. I am in west central florida, the spores came from fieldforest in peshtigo.
Loved the Beck-esque interlude 😊
That rap was so funny! Wish your channel was more famous!
When I was a kid our family would hunt morel mushrooms. I loved them. My mom used an egg wash and bread crumbs, bit of salt. Somewhere there are family photos of me and my brothers at age 4-8 standing proudly behind 5-gallon buckets of morels. The true fact is that our Dad put towels in the bottoms of the buckets and carefully placed the precious morels on top so they looked full. Glorious times.🙂
This was late 50's - early 60's, so influencer photographic standards were not as high. 😉
That is so cool.
Thanks David
🎶Representin' with the organ fail-ure!😂 The man's a lyrical genius!🔥🔥EXPLOSION!!!!! Lol 💖✌️😁
#DEADibleMushrooms lol
I enjoyed the song and commented about it.
Love me those chants
Man I Love your video. Always love the info. But it’s a great feeling to to giggle & laugh. Great way to start your day. ThankU David & Rachel 😁
I found chanterelle this morning, both golden and red!
Love the educational rap! Great video!
Your videos always do a great job of cheering me up! Especially the improptu music. Been digging your old albums as well. Thanks for all the work you do.
Godspeed
Thank you
That line about the fruit salad spoon really got to me.
You are so cool 😎 thanks 😊
Symbiotic fungi relationships with the scrub oaks , would love to be able to see the miles of fibers underground! 🤩🤯
The mushroom cooking jingle 👍😎
cool video 👍
Hello David The Good
I love your song it went perfectly with that delicious breakfast 🍳🍄🍖 delicious mushrooms 👍
My son Ben is a mushroom hunter in Michigan. I just shared this video. Very cool! You have many layers. Super cool
Thank you. And hello, Ben!
The ending, lol been on that road a time or two
Not too long ago I had some Lion's Mane that I found in our woods. It surprised me by how not bad it was. Supposed to be excellent for brain health as well.
Usually I find them under or near pine like you did... Usually in Aug.!
Cool video, I forage for greens in the forest near me all the time but was never brave enough to try any mushrooms 😅
Neat! Last week a >2lb chicken of the woods showed up right off my patio. Never tried it before, but it made some tasty nuggets. Amazing colors, too. Really beautiful.
Between that and the double sized mulberries this year, I feel like nature's trying to make up for my aminopyralid disaster with free food. Fine by me!
I've never had chanterelles, but I'm intrigued now.
Great find.
ขอบคุณค่ะ
I live in Citronelle, Alabama.
EPIC 👏💗
"'Our chanterelles are bigger.'
"'Well yes. . . but our taxes are lower.'"
XD Hilarious personality as well as invaluable knowledge. Thank you!
I found some chantarels that are blue- so hilarious I can’t stop laughing!
That new Snoop-Good song's got a good beat and you can dance to it!
"But our taxes are lower"!
Cut them off at the ground. Pulling out the chanterelle is like cutting the apple brach to get the apple. 20 yr PNW picker here.
It's called a mycorrhizal fungi my guy they form symbiotic relationships with the roots of trees witch means they associate with different hardwoods or some mushrooms like jacksonii love pines especially here in Alabama but basically mycorrhizal fungi gather water and nutrients that the mycelium takes to the roots of the trees and in turn the tree produces natural sugar that gives the mycelium what it need to fruit where as saprotrophic fungi such as turkey tail or the Ganoderma species feed off of dying trees to break it down a brown rot fungi if you will
Yes, that's right. And if you cut down the trees, you lose the chanterelles.
I got some strong G. Love vibes from that first song which seems very appropriate since the topic was shrooms. LOL
Foraging wild edibles is the BOMB! Love seeing Miss Rachel and you out there looking for the chanterelles and the chanties frying up in the pan, YMMMM....Food Porn here Sir David! My Nana used to tell us of wild, edible mushrooms that she would go out and forage in the forests of Michoacán, her fave, a li'l shroom called in spanish: 'Pata de pollo', Chicken foot, on account it looks like a chicken foot. Thanks for sharing, liked and buen provecho on the yummy chanterelles ya all ate! :)
i live in a metropolitan city in india - we have parks etc and its good - but all i really want to do is go wildin and forage mushrooms. jealous.
Yes - it is hard to live in the city. I feel for you.
I moved to Alabama years ago from Washington state, where I was an avid chanterelle mushroom hunter. Imagine my excitement to learn that chanterelle mushrooms also grow here in North Alabama! From what I have seen, the season for these mushrooms is around August in Alabama. I live a little north of Huntsville, Alabama, and I was wondering if these mushrooms grow in my area and when the best time to look for them would be. Thank you!
They should grow there. Weather in the 70s, after rain.
Lower taxes for the win
Nice rap! 😂
Be very careful! There are yellow mushrooms that look a lot like these that will make you very sick if you eat them! Be 100% certain you know what you are picking. I live in Alabama as well, by the way.
Yes, for sure.
I'm not sure the tiny tax differential between AL and WA is enough to make up for the massive chanterelle size differential tho
How do you keep from being eaten by ticks? Wish I could wear shorts in the woods up here.
One of the greatest songs of our time is just buried in this Neature video.
I hunted with my Mom, 3 days ago, and got 17, large, not yellow but instead "GOLDEN" , "Morale" mushrooms. ... We were speechless except "fetch the bags Shane" , LOL.
OMG you are so funny.
are there some acorns that are not edible? I know it can be kind of a pain to get the tannin's out since if you boil them you have to keep switching them to another boiling container since if they cool while all tannin are not removed they will bind more strongly to the acorn. but they are a good survival food compared to many kinds of edible greens.
I think they are all edible, but many need a lot of processing.
Great video. Great Music. Great content. (your voice in the song sounds like the hodgetwins :D)
Do they grow on trees as well as the ground?
No - chanterelles only grow in the soil, that I have ever seen.
Lower taxes and, down here in Florida, a governor who isn't fertilizer (bat guano) crazy. Wish I could find some orange fungi I was confident are chanterelles. Weather probably too hot now though, and no rain for half a week. Maybe that one blueberry bush I found has ripened its crop though.
Try looking again in September/October.
@@davidthegood Yeah, if I remember :p Was just out hacking through more brush in the heat, reminds me of the Amazon except fewer thorns. Think I found a big blueberry thicket, but most showing no fruit. Did see a few with green berries. No shrooms at all right now, that I could see.
What time year I'm in the Cullman Alabama erea
Marshall County, here! You can find em alot during the fall season, mainly when the kids go back to school! I've found a couple Puffballs too but only in the sporing stages (bad time to eat them)
I live in South central Alabama I'm looking for a area to Bushcraft and survival camping any idea
But our taxes are lower hahaha.
I lol'd quite hard at that.
I’m 99% sure I have loads of chanterelles in my 10 acres of oak canopy in Central Florida and I’m to chicken to try to eat them. I can’t find anyone who has foraged them and eaten them around... I also have indigo milk caps.
Both of those are good ones. I understand your reticence, however. It took me a long time.
Only thing that looks close is the jack I lanterns... Just do a lil research and you will be fine.
If you don't like the sound of mosquitoes in the ear, don't listen to this video with headphones on, especially at the 8:45 point (:>)
I DIG or Slice your rap the Cantrellslice
Curious: where are your 19 kids when the two of you are out making vids?
Usually they are either cleaning the house, riding bikes, reading, playing games, hiking, picking blackberries or playing music. It helps to have older children that can keep the younger ones safe.
@@davidthegood How many kids are there? I saw small ones.
I've heard if you plant mushroom stems they might take. Would be cool for your food forest.
I have buried mushrooms in the mulch of a food forest and had lots more mushrooms show up later in the year.
@@davidthegood easy, adapted mycelium ;)
our taxes are lower lmao
Jealous!!!
Psychedelics??, 👆👆Man's the realest lately 🍄 💊🍄🍫💯🔌
