I had a motorcycle accident a few years ago and while rehabilitation (waking around a park every day, super slowly) I started noticing mushroom that I would never have seen if I were hiking or running though the same area. I found your videos and am now completely infatuated with fungi. Historically, I’ve always hated “mushrooms” because all I knew of them were “white buttons” that comes on every pizza, in every soup, and in every spaghetti sauce. Mushrooms are SO much tastier, and SO much more fascinating than I would ever imagine, thanks to YOU. Though I’m probably 20 years older than you, you are SERIOUSLY, a role model and hero for me. Not only are you a great teacher, you inspired me to rehabilitate my body after my accident only so I could find more mushrooms!!!
Adam you are the best! Many people can "know" a lot about wild mushrooms but to impart that information to others in a responsible, exciting, and intelligent manner takes special talent! Your videos are all top notch quality including great music! Thank you!
Last chicken I found was during our Missouri turkey season, end of April, beginning of May. Been killin the chanterelles... lots of boletes too. No trumpets yet though. Adam you are the man, you have most definitely expanded my knowledge of wild edibles and mushrooms, you always have a hunting ground here in Missouri with us.
Would love to see a "Catch and Cook" video. Find some, cook it and share with friends. Get their opinion and flavor. You see it a lot in fishing video's and such. But think it would totally work for your channel as well. Keep up the good work, Though I am not in your area, I still enjoy each and every video.
I just started foraging my own mushrooms last Fall and fell in love with foraging mushrooms and plants as well! I really appreciate how much research and time you put into your videos. I always want to know more about the inner mechanisms of plant and fungal life beyond their identification and you provide a doorway to that knowledge in a very clear and comprehensible way. Thank you so much and happy foraging! :)
I am so happy I found your channel! Your videos are so informative, and educational. I just found a very fresh, tender, Chicken of the Woods, near Allendale in western Michigan , and I was trying to verify my discovery. I ran across your videos, and can't stop watching them! I think you've given me more reason to be out in the woods besides hunting, & fishing! Thank You Adam! Keep up the good work!
Great videos, love watching them and learning the land. I have been finding "Chicken of the Woods" for 2 weeks now in Northern Il. A very choice edible and it is a thrill every time you see that orange and yellow on a tree or stump. Great fun and exercise not mention all the wild live viewing along the way. On our last hunt we saw otters playing and sliding on the banks, beavers building a dam, and a peregrine falcon. Man that was fun. Keep the videos coming!!!
I live in central eastern Mississippi. I find cinnabar's in areas where water tends to pool during heavy rains but will drain away within a couple of hours. Obviously not in the middle but right along the edges of those. We have had a fabulous year for chanterelles here in Mississippi and there has been a Non-Stop Supply since mid-june
I harvested several Cantharellus lateritius here in Southeastern Ohio, last week. Both areas were near lakes, and had a mixture of deciduous, and hemlock trees. Thanks you for your very educational, and instructive video.
IFound over 20 lbs of smooth chanterelles. need to sell some. athens ohio. there everywhere. love your channel got me into hunting different types been good year. thanks Adam.
That is funny, that is where I found mine as well, in the same setting. They must love Hemlock trees. I found all mine on inclines in the middle of the small hills leading down to the waterway.
Jay Winchell , Nice! My cousin sells his mushrooms to restaurants. He made over a $1,000 last year. Not bad for doing something you enjoy. When I worked as a sous chef, the restaurant would regularly buy mushrooms from a guy that grew them at home. I'm sure it could be a very lucrative business with the right set up, and contacts.
I went out earlier and found a goodish amount of oyster mushrooms hiding in the shade. With a flick of the cap, little beetle bugs fell of them like rain, but like i've heard you say, it's just more protein;)
After watching your videos it inspired me to look in my own back yard. I live in Biloxi Ms. And very close to my home I decided to look under a large cluster of live oaks. And found my first Chanterelles today. Very nice size choice fungi. I literally just finished eating them. So stoked!
Just subbed your channel. Your videos are clear, very informative and very educational. I appreciate the time you have put into them. I'm learning a lot from you. Well done!
Awesome fungi knowledge brother, I live in Northern Arizona which has great diversity of bio zones for finding many myco habitats for mushrooms like Lobster mushrooms smells and tastes like lobster. Great channel. Subscribed !!
WOW!! we have 99* today.. second day not in the triple digits here. So glad you are having a good weather. WOW!!! SO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!! Thank You!!!
Hey there! Been super interested in mycology and foraging the last year or so... Watched these vids a lot a while back and just gave this one another go. After gathering basic knowledge (bought 3 books and watched countless videos, joined a few identification groups online) I can now pick up on the further in depth elements your mention! It's fascinating! What i would give to spend a few days on the trails with this guy!! Truck of knowledge in the face!
I've seen so many of this mushroom here in central Massachusetts and didn't realize they were edible. We had so much rain this year and the earth is blooming with mushrooms in areas I've never seen mushrooms. I hope I've done enough research to avoid the poisonous look-alikes because I've started cooking and freezing them. Thank you so much for all your informative videos.
I’ve harvested better than 25lbs of some of the largest and most beautiful chanterelles you’ve ever seen so far this season. Went out looking for chickens or hens today and came back w another 8lbs of chants. Finally built an awesome sun-drying rack to dry em all.
Found my second "White Chicken", Laetiporus Cincinnatus, this past weekend! Excellent edible! Lots of smooth chants and old man of the woods, also. Loving this rainy summer! Found some oysters today. Still looking for black trumpets and cauliflower. Love your videos! Keep them coming!!!
Love your videos Adam...Can you do some vids specifically on harvest, cleaning and storing different mushrooms...this always seems to be my biggest problem...especially boletes as they fade fast....We are not able to get to the mountains much but so for this year we found matsutaki, white chanterelle, blue cap, man on horse back, bolete, morel, coral/califlower and hedgehog mushrooms here in Idaho....
Thanks again Adam!!!! Love all your knowledge.... Tried to prepare Sulfur Shelves for my folks, but they all chickened out, so I sadly LOL had to enjoy every bite... Left enough for next year's colony. For the record, Sulfur shelves, and hen o' the woods both pair AMAZINGLY well with fresh Alaskan halibut. Peace!
WOW!!! so much knowledge Adam!!! How do you remember all the latin! When I lived in Milford, PA, i used to always find the red chants along indented sides in the road where water would run down the area regularly. I have also found the smooth chants growing in clusters like that. nice finds! Folks are still finding chants here in VT and boletes are still coming up. Suillus americanus are popping up in my lawn now.
I had a great weekend in Wisconsin, mid-August. 1¼lbs of chanterelles, and almost 3lbs of white chicken of the woods. The chanterelles had rosecomb but were found in protected land so I doubt it was contamination. The chicken of the woods was perfect because it had just stormed 3 days earlier.
since you asked and i havent commented in a while... The family and i have been finding A LOT of chantrelles(1st year finding them, very excited to mark the trusty map) the past 2 weeks. Also many different bollettes. I need to check my chicken mushroom spot. South eastern pa by the way. been a great year for wild edibles this year. wine berry jam, black berry jam, a lot of food being put up on the shelves at home! really looking forward to fall... ps thank you for all of your informative work, we love your videos. pps my daughter found that jelly that looks like coral that you posted about the other day. She was so proud, she carried it for about 2 miles(shes 4, and also enjoys your videos). peace
Hello, Adam! Could you please cover the russula mushroom? Particularly the red varieties. My field guide books have conflicting information as to the ediblity.
I'm in central Minnesota and I found a few chanterelles, and 2 lobster mushrooms that were in pretty good condition. The lobsters were sooo tasty, cooked them in butter with a little onion, garlic, the chanterelles and some kale weirdly enough. Been daydreaming of more lobsters :)
Adam always great videos. Just found Veiled Oyster Mushrooms here in Central Iowa. Also Chicken of the Woods returned to the same spot for the 8th consecutive year.
Nice finds, Adam! Hope you find many more for your freezer.. I've finally found a bunch of chants this year after looking for a couple years. They are everywhere, turns out every other year I was late getting out to hunt! Your videos helped me get a better time of date to go hunting, Thank you!
How do you prepare your scripts when you don't know what you're going to find? This is great writing and delivery, you do script this right? This is really impressive content either way. Oh, and since you asked I found half a dozen giant puffballs in Kansas City last week. Took four and left the rest including several small ones. Had them as steaks, breaded and fried them. The best was sauteed in morel infused butter with onion then scrambled with egg served on a tortilla with purslane on top.
Adam bro you've been lifting weights! Going out for some black trumpets and chanterelles today, the weathers been great lately. Thanks for the videos as always you're the boy!
Btw I found some insane mushrooms yesterday, could not identify any! So beautiful though. I think I found either enoki or honey mushrooms in huge clusters. They aren't gallerina, but couldn't exactly identify them so I didn't cook them.
Looks like you had a great day in the woods! The Cinnabar Chanterelles are especially prolific around here this year...which is awesome because they are one of my favorites. :) I'd never found enough of them to try preserving but this year I will try freezing some. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the video Adam! I can only find tiny little Golden Chanterelles as this time of year. I was thinking of going to an area of the woods where I located many chicken of the woods in the past, and also Hen of the woods. There are many large oak and maple trees there. PErhaps I should go back there, and maybe I will find these large chanterelles. Thanks again!
Hi Adam! Great video. I’ve been in search of the chicken of the woods. I’m new to mushrooming. I love your videos the most. I wish you could come walk our land with us and tell us what to eat! I am finding sooooo many different varieties of shapes, sizes, and colors! It’s crazy. I finally ate one that looked like a bowling pin! It was delicious! Thank you for the awesome videos!
Hi Adam, I'm not sure if you read comments but if so, GET THIS!! We just found a and harvested over a POUND of TRUFFLES!! Can you PLEASE do a video about truffles? I have NO CLUE how to preserve them and not finding any videos of how to preserve them other than infusing oil for flavor or infusing butter.. with mere SHAVINGS! What to do with a POUND (over) of Truffles, one of the most sought after and rare to find mushrooms. (also one of the most expensive!!) Thank You for your videos! *Much Love and Gratitude!*
We have had a rather late mushroom season, here in N.E. Pa. Last week, I spotted some boletes and Chicken Fat shrooms where I usually find them- near Pine trees and very old tree stumps in sunny lawns near lakes. I am hoping to harvest a couple of bags full this season. I have yet to see Chanterels , Chicken o` woods or Morels where I live. I am hoping to find Pear Puffballs though.
Thank you for the awesome video! Totally helpful -- I am wondering for chanterelle -- is the jack-o-lantern the only toxic lookalike to watch out for? It will be the first time harvesting for me and I want, of course, to be safe. Your videos are so good!! Informative, interesting -- thank you so much!!
I just found a mushroom that looks so much like Chicken of the Woods, but I can't be certain. A grouping were growing up a tree and the bright orange is what attracted us to them. The underside is bright yellow with very tight pores that are extremely tiny. The top is not shiny like other varieties. The differences in the mushroom that I found is that is doesn't have a yellow edge, it's orange to the end, and the striations are lighter orange, not yellow. Also, the edge is smoother, not as ruffly as the mushrooms in this video. If you have any ideas of what I've described, I'd really appreciate learning more. Thank you!
Hi Adam, I live in Ohio just west of Sharon pa, 13 miles. I was wondering where you're from especially since you look so much like a childhood friend and thought you might be related. I grew up in Beaver county, Center Township. I've always wanted to learn about the edible wild mushrooms but have been afraid to eat them. You're giving me some confidence here and I might go out and look for some chanterelles.
Hi Adam-Very nice finds!- i have found quite a few nice Black Trumpets here in eastern PA last few days. Found some Jackolanterns and many boletes. Also some Wrinkled Milkies.A lot of Cinnabars which are so small here I don't usually harvest. Have found only one chicken so far which is unusual for us. Lot's of good soaking rains and cooler than average temps makes for pleasant and productive hunts!. I have not found many Chanterelles but hoping that changes this week. happy mushroom hunting!
hey adam, i'm in the Hidden Valley Ski Resort in PA and I bumped into some chanterelles. They seem yellow/orange, growing in patches, but they seem old and sort of dried up. Do you think they may be left over from the springtime? I found them 1month ago. They are still around and still dry and I don't see any newer softer ones growing. Found under oak trees on the side of the ski slopes in mossy ground near acorns.
Great video as always! Been seeing a ton of chicken here in Westchester, NY the last couple weeks. My wife and I ate a bunch a few nights ago and had CRAZY dreams! Is this something you've experienced?
Funny you should mention that. I find that the more wild foods I eat in general, the more vivid and strange my dreams become. Just another benefit of eating wild I suppose!
I had also experienced very vivid dreams this morning. I never would have attributed it to the chicken though, until Lex mentioned it. It would be interesting to know what causes this phenomenon. Is it from L.Sulphereus, or the Solar Eclipse? I usually never dream, much less remember them! Let me know what your thoughts are on this.
I've been finding some pleurotus ostreatus, and pulmonarius, a variety of milk caps, and a ridiculous variety of boletes. Going out again in just about an hour or so to find some more.
Oooh, I almost forgot to mention that I've been finding white chanterelles also. They aren't very common around here, and are probably the best tasting chanterelles I've tried.
How about showing us how you harvest them transport them and store them. Do you cut them above ground or pull them keeping what is below? I assume storage happens after you cook them?
Absolutely love your content!!!! I happened upon a cluster of mushrooms that I thought might be hen of the woods but they looked more white than brown. Can you please give me some advice as I left them being unsure as I was!
How nice some one still enjoys looking for food to eat other then a Grocery Store I am 76 and after WW2 we went every year looking for Mushrooms so we could trade for something else to eat
Gisela, did you eat miner's lettuce and nettles. During the great depression my husband's grandma's family gathered miner's lettuce. I enjoy the taste and texture of the more delicate variety very much, and so does one of our house dogs, but not so much with the Siberian miner's lettuce variety, the texture is a bit slimy to me, like okra. I enjoy foraging, and learning more about it too. We can't stop learning about the good things in life!
@@terirobinson3616 Sorry I just notice your message but I would have to know the German name I know what nettles are but I don’t think I would have eaten them because I always got hurt from them. The best thing was to know some Farmers and they always seemed to find some food to spare.
just got back home with 7 lbs of beautiful smooth chanterelles out here in gettysburg, PA! also some turkey tail and old man. just curious... is all your knowledge of biology self taught or did you go to school for it?
Can you comment about the slime fungus also called dog puke...was surprised in my garden and it enveloped three potato plants in my vegetable garden ...tried to wash it away but nothing but brown spores filled their surrounding area like a cloud....kind of scary...are the spores dangerous? I disgarded the potato bag and entire plant....can you comment further?
They should give you some kind of award. Literally every video you make is fantastic.
I had a motorcycle accident a few years ago and while rehabilitation (waking around a park every day, super slowly) I started noticing mushroom that I would never have seen if I were hiking or running though the same area.

Not only are you a great teacher, you inspired me to rehabilitate my body after my accident only so I could find more mushrooms!!!
I like how you put a lot of research into the benefits of everything you share on UA-cam. Good Job.

Wow, that's amazing that you saw all that on your last hunt. Thanks for watching and commenting!
3:01.....and here is how to harvest this without being destructive.....thank you for your efforts sir.
I live in central eastern Mississippi. I find cinnabar's in areas where water tends to pool during heavy rains but will drain away within a couple of hours. Obviously not in the middle but right along the edges of those. We have had a fabulous year for chanterelles here in Mississippi and there has been a Non-Stop Supply since mid-june
I harvested several Cantharellus lateritius here in Southeastern Ohio, last week. Both areas were near lakes, and had a mixture of deciduous, and hemlock trees. Thanks you for your very educational, and instructive video.
IFound over 20 lbs of smooth chanterelles. need to sell some. athens ohio. there everywhere. love your channel got me into hunting different types been good year. thanks Adam.
That is funny, that is where I found mine as well, in the same setting. They must love Hemlock trees. I found all mine on inclines in the middle of the small hills leading down to the waterway.
Jay Winchell , Nice!
My cousin sells his mushrooms to restaurants. He made over a $1,000 last year. Not bad for doing something you enjoy. When I worked as a sous chef, the restaurant would regularly buy mushrooms from a guy that grew them at home. I'm sure it could be a very lucrative business with the right set up, and contacts.

Just subbed your channel. Your videos are clear, very informative and very educational. I appreciate the time you have put into them. I'm learning a lot from you. Well done!
The Meat Trapper well said and I agree!
Thank you! You've got some great videos on your channel. I look forward to watching more.
Awesome fungi knowledge brother, I live in Northern Arizona which has great diversity of bio zones for finding many myco habitats for mushrooms like Lobster mushrooms smells and tastes like lobster. Great channel. Subscribed !!
Awesome, thank you!

Here in Quebec Montreal, there has been a lot of rain and cool. I have found lots of boletes under my conifer trees
Great video! I found some more chants and hedgehog mushrooms this weekend. Such an awesome year for mushrooms with all the rain. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!!! so much knowledge Adam!!! How do you remember all the latin! When I lived in Milford, PA, i used to always find the red chants along indented sides in the road where water would run down the area regularly. I have also found the smooth chants growing in clusters like that. nice finds! Folks are still finding chants here in VT and boletes are still coming up. Suillus americanus are popping up in my lawn now.
Awesome video for my birthday coming up in August with my favorite mushroom, The Chanterelle!! Thankyou Adam Haritan!!'

Hello, Adam! Could you please cover the russula mushroom? Particularly the red varieties. My field guide books have conflicting information as to the ediblity.
I'm in central Minnesota and I found a few chanterelles, and 2 lobster mushrooms that were in pretty good condition. The lobsters were sooo tasty, cooked them in butter with a little onion, garlic, the chanterelles and some kale weirdly enough. Been daydreaming of more lobsters :)
Adam always great videos. Just found Veiled Oyster Mushrooms here in Central Iowa.
Also Chicken of the Woods returned to the same spot for the 8th consecutive year.
The best forager in the Tube!
Nice finds, Adam! Hope you find many more for your freezer.. I've finally found a bunch of chants this year after looking for a couple years. They are everywhere, turns out every other year I was late getting out to hunt! Your videos helped me get a better time of date to go hunting, Thank you!

Oh, and since you asked I found half a dozen giant puffballs in Kansas City last week. Took four and left the rest including several small ones. Had them as steaks, breaded and fried them. The best was sauteed in morel infused butter with onion then scrambled with egg served on a tortilla with purslane on top.
great video on chicken of the woods and on the chanderels👍👍👍
Always look forward to your videos Adam. Well done thank you. I would like to see how you prepare your mushroom meals someday.
Adam bro you've been lifting weights! Going out for some black trumpets and chanterelles today, the weathers been great lately. Thanks for the videos as always you're the boy!

Found both here in Ohio,Two of my favorites that are fairly easy to find and identify Another great vid! Keep them coming.
Great video Adam! I'm off today and will be heading the mountains of North East Pennsylvania for the chanterelle! It's been so rainy here!
Thanks for the video Adam! I can only find tiny little Golden Chanterelles as this time of year.

2 summers ago we had an abnormal amount of rain and the woods here (Missouri) were exploding with chanterelles. I will never forget it.
Hi Adam! Great video. I’ve been in search of the chicken of the woods. I’m new to mushrooming. I love your videos the most. I wish you could come walk our land with us and tell us what to eat!

Thanks for your videos! I'm learning a lot of knowledge to pass on to my kids.
Thanks Adam! I went out yesterday and found a bunch of chanterelles!
Found Eastern cauliflower mushrooms, and oyster shells around Carlyle Lake public areas last week.
Thank you for the cook / freeze method, as I've never heard of it.
Thanks for the knowledge.
So informative! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching!

I've been finding Hygrophorus and Voluminous milkies over the last few weeks. Also found this seasons first Blewit yesterday.
We have had a rather late mushroom season, here in N.E. Pa. Last week, I spotted some boletes and Chicken Fat shrooms where I usually find them- near Pine trees and very old tree stumps in sunny lawns near lakes. I am hoping to harvest a couple of bags full this season. I have yet to see Chanterels , Chicken o` woods or Morels where I live. I am hoping to find Pear Puffballs though.
Love your videos 👍🏻
We found a bunch last year here in indiana probly 50# of wood ears 50# of oysters n probly 20# of chicken and bags full of chantrelles
Sitting here in the PNW cleaning off some hypomycus lactifloria (lobsters I know I butchered the Latin name) love your videos!!
Thank you for the awesome video! Totally helpful -- I am wondering for chanterelle -- is the jack-o-lantern the only toxic lookalike to watch out for? It will be the first time harvesting for me and I want, of course, to be safe. Your videos are so good!! Informative, interesting -- thank you so much!!
I'm here in eastern pa, and I just found some chants up by the AT. Good season for them this year it seems
You have got to be googling all of this information as you come across these species.
If not, your memory is amazing.
I'm going out this weekend to see what I can find. Great video 🎯 👍 Subbed
I was hoping it was chanterelle season. It's still spring, so I'm way off. I got to get me some chanterelles.
Good information
thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
It might be difficult to cook with, But I've heard pickling chanterelles are a great way of preserving them.
What city are you in? I lived in Hermitage for a while. Want to know if it were close to that. Heard you on Wild Fed too. You’re the best!
Hoping for some Golden Oysters! They must of been released by a home grower in the area and I am not mad about it.
Thank you
it's dry here now I was wondering why I wasn't finding any mushrooms now I know thanks Adam
I just found a mushroom that looks so much like Chicken of the Woods, but I can't be certain. A grouping were growing up a tree and the bright orange is what attracted us to them. The underside is bright yellow with very tight pores that are extremely tiny. The top is not shiny like other varieties.
The differences in the mushroom that I found is that is doesn't have a yellow edge, it's orange to the end, and the striations are lighter orange, not yellow. Also, the edge is smoother, not as ruffly as the mushrooms in this video. If you have any ideas of what I've described, I'd really appreciate learning more. Thank you!
Found some porchinis chanterrle and puffball mushrooms and what i think is the miller or st georges mushromm
You should travel and forage different regions of the U.S. Come to Alabama!!!
2highnoon, the chickens are awesome!
Huge chanterelle season here in southern illinois. More yellow and red then I have ever seen. Freezer is full and still finding more.
Excellent!
Great video!
Thanks, Paul! Glad you enjoyed it.
I also found what I believe to be honey fungus, but Google said it might be "magic" instead...
Did you eat it and check?
I got a ton of golden oysters this year.
found some chantarelles and some boletes on the mountain
Hi Adam, I live in Ohio just west of Sharon pa, 13 miles. I was wondering where you're from especially since you look so much like a childhood friend and thought you might be related. I grew up in Beaver county, Center Township. I've always wanted to learn about the edible wild mushrooms but have been afraid to eat them. You're giving me some confidence here and I might go out and look for some chanterelles.
Hey Cyndi, I live just a bit north of Pittsburgh. Thanks for watching and commenting on these videos!
Hi Adam-Very nice finds!- i have found quite a few nice Black Trumpets here in eastern PA last few days. Found some Jackolanterns and many boletes. Also some Wrinkled Milkies.A lot of Cinnabars which are so small here I don't usually harvest. Have found only one chicken so far which is unusual for us. Lot's of good soaking rains and cooler than average temps makes for pleasant and productive hunts!. I have not found many Chanterelles but hoping that changes this week. happy mushroom hunting!
Excellent video. Very professional.
Thanks!
That a good day afield
hey adam, i'm in the Hidden Valley Ski Resort in PA and I bumped into some chanterelles. They seem yellow/orange, growing in patches, but they seem old and sort of dried up. Do you think they may be left over from the springtime? I found them 1month ago. They are still around and still dry and I don't see any newer softer ones growing. Found under oak trees on the side of the ski slopes in mossy ground near acorns.
Great video as always! Been seeing a ton of chicken here in Westchester, NY the last couple weeks. My wife and I ate a bunch a few nights ago and had CRAZY dreams! Is this something you've experienced?
Funny you should mention that. I find that the more wild foods I eat in general, the more vivid and strange my dreams become. Just another benefit of eating wild I suppose!
I had also experienced very vivid dreams this morning. I never would have attributed it to the chicken though, until Lex mentioned it. It would be interesting to know what causes this phenomenon. Is it from L.Sulphereus, or the Solar Eclipse? I usually never dream, much less remember them! Let me know what your thoughts are on this.
I've been finding some pleurotus ostreatus, and pulmonarius, a variety of milk caps, and a ridiculous variety of boletes. Going out again in just about an hour or so to find some more.
Oooh, I almost forgot to mention that I've been finding white chanterelles also. They aren't very common around here, and are probably the best tasting chanterelles I've tried.
Great video!
How about showing us how you harvest them transport them and store them.
Do you cut them above ground or pull them keeping what is below?
I assume storage happens after you cook them?
Absolutely love your content!!!! I happened upon a cluster of mushrooms that I thought might be hen of the woods but they looked more white than brown. Can you please give me some advice as I left them being unsure as I was!
How nice some one still enjoys looking for food to eat other then a Grocery Store I am 76 and after WW2 we went every year looking for Mushrooms so we could trade for something else to eat
Gisela, did you eat miner's lettuce and nettles. During the great depression my husband's grandma's family gathered miner's lettuce.
I enjoy the taste and texture of the more delicate variety very much, and so does one of our house dogs, but not so much with the Siberian miner's lettuce variety, the texture is a bit slimy to me, like okra.
I enjoy foraging, and learning more about it too. We can't stop learning about the good things in life!
@@terirobinson3616 Sorry I just notice your message but I would have to know the German name I know what nettles are but I don’t think I would have eaten them because I always got hurt from them. The best thing was to know some Farmers and they always seemed to find some food to spare.
just got back home with 7 lbs of beautiful smooth chanterelles out here in gettysburg, PA! also some turkey tail and old man. just curious... is all your knowledge of biology self taught or did you go to school for it?
We find alot of goodys at our res
I have chicken of the woods all over a tree in my yard 🙂I'm afraid to eat some because it could be a look a like and I have to look up how to cook. 🙂
I've been looking on every oak tree I can find and I haven't found any chicken of the woods.
Can you comment about the slime fungus also called dog puke...was surprised in my garden and it enveloped three potato plants in my vegetable garden ...tried to wash it away but nothing but brown spores filled their surrounding area like a cloud....kind of scary...are the spores dangerous? I disgarded the potato bag and entire plant....can you comment further?
love chanterelles
