Love this guy...he is always well studied & knows the material. And his passion for this is not only extremely evident, but contagious.
Yep he's #1
Awesome information!!
Your public speaking on such complex subject is incredibly impressive! Big words and beautiful flow as you explain everything needed.
Thank you for the info, wow.
You are one amazing young teacher. I realize this particular vid is several years old now but I am thinking that you should do plant and mushroom identification walks. I as an old person of the woods have learned a lot from your teachings. Keep up the great works and things you are doing. Above all keep teaching...
Love this: "Chicken of the woods . . . has the ability and the power to brighten your day literally, metaphorically, and metaphysically speaking . . ."
a anti-fungal mushroom... nature has done something insane.
I know, right?
Mother Nature is amazing! Won't be long before we'll be using these mushroom extract to fight infections...
penicillin comes from bread mold which is a fungus. Pretty cool how is was discovered, too.
None competing species. They likely evolved together, to respect their distance and invade on each other
Mason T literally the anti-mushroom
Great video. Your enthusiasm makes watching the video more enjoyable. Also, the recipes add a nice touch.
+Yong Kim Thanks for the kind words!
Yes, your videos are great! More recipes wouldn't hurt either :D
Just got a batch, can't wait to try them! Great video!
Adam, I really love your videos. It really inspires people to learn and enjoy nature, especially the fungi species. It was so interesting I just found "Chicken of the Woods" mushrooms in the front of my house in Front Royal, Virginia. It was under the Oak trees, and I saw a space between the tree to that mushrooms. After searching, and watching your videos, I think I got Laetiporus Cincinnatus. They have very bright orange color on the top, and the margins are very slight yellow, and the other side has whitish color, and no gills at all. So happy to find them, and I cooked awesome dinner with those "Chicken of the Woods". I really hope it will grow again soon. I really enjoyed to harvest them and even made my own video to talk a little bit about this mushroom after searching and watching many videos, and reading the books. Wow! I really love the bright color of this mushrooms. After harvesting this mushrooms, cooking and having awesome dinner, I am totally in love with wild mushrooms hunting now. Thanks so much for all your very informative videos:).
Sir, you impressed me with your presentation. Well done. I just found about 25lbs of Chicken of the Woods on a recent hike in the woods. I wanted to confirm that I have the right mushroom before I eat it and it looks like I'm good to go!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
If it is growing on a Yew tree this is not edible.
Was it okay to eat?
@@locasaly563 I think his lack of response gives you your answer ;)
For newbies, you are never good to go. If you can't positively identify it do not eat it.
I can positively identify green backs and chicken of the woods. Even so I ate not more than a teaspoon the first day, easy enough with a green back,but so fusterating with the chickens. Three big skillets full and only one tiny bite before I froze them. Not everyone can eat wheat and not everyone can handle mushrooms that don't bother anyone else.
It's very impressive how much information you can draw from memory. Love your videos.
Found the other day~after torrential rains~wasn't there 2 days before & yet when i found them>>they were on their way out already.....
Had seen so many pix was sure what it was-even though *brighter ORANGE - ALMOST RED*.
Was SO excited, i cleaned really well-had to throw out much, though saved the "tougher part for the winter".
~BUT IT was so large, two actually. Maybe it was ITS *AGE* but it DID TASTE LIKE CHICKEN; although it tasted like *very DRY chicken breasts*. AS i waste nothing edible or medicinal-i cooked in homegrown tomatoes & ate some>the rest will go in the freezer for soups cooked on wood-stove, which is like a CROCK POT.
*_THANKS as always Adam_* as i really was *unaware of MEDICINAL PROPERTIES* plus *you always TEACH me at least one thing i don't/didn't KNOW-usually more in I.D factors*
*PeAcE & GRATITUDE as always --"another appreciative loyal follower"*

Your charisma really left me smiling! Thanks for such the informative and well-thought-out video!
Chicken of the woods are some of my favorite mushrooms to eat! Right now, I am really enjoying them with bbq sauce or as chicken parm.
Your such a great presenter...I can’t stop watching. Outstanding videos! 👍🏻
Really impressive how you flow through all these details and names! You have did a great job making it!
Some years ago, my friend found some supposed chicken in the woods, and yes, as you said... in for a few rough days... Thanks again!
Fascinating! I didnt know this species had a medicinal value, will definitely add this one to my Reishi and Chaga regimens. Thanks again Adam cant wait for your next post when the weather warms up again. Just subscribed, which i never do for any channels
Thanks for your thorough description and the educational aspects of this presentation. Great job!
Thank You! You explained this mushroom so thoroughly and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Came across this mushroom today while walking in the woods and sent a photo to a friend who identified it. Going back to pick some!
You are such a good speaker. Keep up the good work!! Thank You
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. These are my favorite mushrooms to find while camping. Always impresses my friends when I bring some back to camp and cook it up.
I love the amount of information this fella has. Brilliant.
“Fella” you have to be from AU?
remarkably well versed young man! excellent all en-compasing review. Just found 3-4lbs in the HH's off Nichols Cyn. thank you
i found my first chicken of the woods hiking yesterday and came straight to you to confirm. i'm so excited!!! been wanting to try these for a while. you're so beautiful ! thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
I found my first Chicken of the Woods today and will be cooking it tomorrow. Thank you for helping me in my journey!
Just found and harvested pounds off a fallen tree hiking on my cousins birthday! This video motivated all the youngsters to hunt for them and properly harvest! Saving the world by teaching this!
Nice work, Adam. Great series of videos and your enthusiasm is inspiring!
Your videos are a awesome. I love the fact that you tie them back into recent scientific research.
Thanks, Robert! Glad you enjoy them.
Just found your channel and it thought me a couple things. Looking to finish my cabin this year so it's the woods life for me glad to have your channel
such a thorough, informative, pleasant video. Thanks man! I found a TON of this mushroom today and am so excited to learn about it and cook it!
So many video makers don’t care about proper pronunciation. It’s irritating and distracting. What a relief and a joy to hear you competently skip through the Latin and multi syllabic verbiage. Thanks and cheers! 👍☘️😎🌞
Amazing initiative!
Thank you for teaching me something today. It's refreshing to hear someone explain in a simple way the "how" and "why", in this case, the how's and why's of medicinal properties of this mushroom.
Keep up the good work! 💪
awesome Adam love the work and knowledge you emit on your videos 👍👍👍
Very engaging manner... clear, concise and I LUHV all the various & sundry benefits listed. Good work!
Thank you for all your enthusiastic wisdom about fungi, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Awesome videos, you have helped me out a great deal in what mushrooms I choose to harvest. I have used your videos as one more tool to kelp me identify what I have exactly,sometimes what I find doesn't always look the same although I'm usually pretty sure what I have! Thank you and please keep them coming!
Absolutely LOVE morel mushrooms!
I haven't heard of "chicken of the woods" interesting. . .I'll have to go exploring for some.
THANK YOU for your educational videos, much appreciated!
Thank you. Very well done video. You are a great speaker.
Thank you for making additional videos on individual species and look a likes. Very informative.
Never heard of these until 2 weeks ago, and this week I found some in Downeast Maine! Wish I could send you a photo... it was growing between two tree stumps. I've been watching videos about how to clean and eat them, so happy to have found your channel!
Splendid info and love your enthusiasm! Thank you!
Nicely done Adam. Thank you.
Super informative! I am a long-time forager and just starting to add mushrooms to my list. I'll be checking out your videos - thanks for sharing what you know - your educational efforts are much appreciated!
Great video. I am learning about mushrooms and have seen so many horrible vids on the subject...nice to hear someone who knows wtf they're talking about. Good on ya mate!
+HunterOrock Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
Love the video, I will try my first tonight. Might just try your recipe!
Another great video.
Awesome narration
very detailed info on chicken of the woods! thanks so much!
thank you for your endless knowledge
I found these today in our own woods finally. The first time I ever found these was like the motherlode on a massive stump. I love these mushrooms.
great informative video! thank you for taking time out of your day to give us such useful videos!
Thanks, Tristin! I enjoy the work. :D
I have been researching this specific mushroom for quite some time now and this is by far the most professional video with the most information to help me specifically identify this variety of mushroom thank you for putting this video up for the public to view fantastic job
Thanks, Tyler! Glad you found it useful.
definitely
Fantastic as always!
I get nice fruitings in my back yard growing off the old ground down stumps
I love this video, thank you BUT I highly recommend changing the speed setting to either +1.25 (coked up) or -.5 (drunk)
Awesome video i like how you take the time to explain things so well with clear pictures of possible bad mushrooms. Your a great teacher
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it.
I had this in my yard for the first time this year in Lower Michigan.
Wow, just exactly what I needed.
Especially glad to know that these mushrooms are likely to come back year after year in the same place.
You are so articulate I thought you must be reading from a script until I watched a couple of your other videos and saw that wasn't the case. Thanks for the info and for your passion. You are like the perfect instructor. (Plus, such a beautiful logo and website. Obviously, a class A operation.)
Great video & education about mushrooms, learned something. Thanks.
Very informative and inspirational vid, thank you!
Very informative video, me and my wife are just getting into to foraging, we live in Scotland and yours is the best video we have watched!
+Mandalorian Jai Thanks, I appreciate that!
Adam, I found my first chicken of t he woods mushroom today, and you are so right: you can't miss it. It is like a neon sign in the woods. Ate a small amount with dinner and it was one of the most delicious mushrooms I've ever ate.
Awesome, congrats!
So glad I found your channel! I just bought some acreage and am excited to learn how to forage for edibles and ID trees on my property. I know your channel will help me on my journey! Many thanks ✌🏽️💜
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for all you do adam
Hi Adam just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your videos on fungi! I was cutting the lawn last week and saw a COW growing out of the top of an old oak log but didn't know what it was other then some kind of mushroom. I took a picture of it thinking I would get on UA-cam and see what I could find and there you are!! Now that its a week later and I found you just today, the COW is in fade mode (as in getting pale) I wont pick it this year but I sure will mark my calendar to watch for it next year!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful info.
Super informative and great presentation. You got me pumped to learn about and eat some mushrooms.
Great video! I found some Chicken of the wood today for the first time. Too bad it was dried out! Can't wait to find some and cook it up!
You are amazing with your knowledge! Spotted some today on the golf course in vancouver, bc. Beautiful! Thank you for your video.
Thanks for the video! I just came across some of these on a hike in mid-August. I suspected they were Chicken of the Woods, but I'm inexperienced in mushrooming and didn't want to take a chance if I'd misidentified them. Your video cleared that up for me, and I'll harvest some the next time I see some.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Your videos are awesome!! Thanks for posting this one!!
Thanks, and you're welcome!
Great video! My first edible mushroom is Chicken Of The Woods.
Absolutely love your videos! I love that you put the science behind it along with the nature! Just getting into fungi's now. You make everything so amazing thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks so much for this informative video. I'm fairly new to foraging and just found my first Chicken of the Woods today.
Hey Bob, awesome! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much for helping me identify the huge basketball sized mushroom cluster I just found on the trail, it looked like a beautiful cream and peach coral reef! :)
SCORE! Found some. Thank you so much for helping me identify it. It's going into breakfast tomorrow.
Bro your freaking great thanks for these amazing videos! !!
So much info! Awesome video!
Thanks, June!
Great video! I found some nice COTW on the side of the road today in the woods! My first time picking it!
Been finding a ton lately in a hardwood forest in upstate NY ,love it, super delicious.... appreciate the extra medicinal knowledge of this species
A really good video, thanks. Just found it growing on a park road stump in Estonia. Chicken of the park.
Very useful vid :) new subscriber from France
Love all mushrooms and walks in the woods :)
Great vid! Super helpful and informative ☺️
I found a lot of them here in Vancouver, BC pacific North West on cherry trees, also it's good to mention that they have lots of proteins.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge
Great video, thank you!
Thrilled to find this :-) as I found this mushroom today, took some after doing a google reverse image search to confirm it was chicken of the woods but looking at your video once home confirmed it for me - thank you
Thank you for educating us about mushrooms. I'm so interested in edable mushrooms but never confident to identify and eat them....... I live Jax FL
Very informative and easy to understand.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
thank you for sharing your knowledge
I found some growing 2 weeks ago in central PA near my parents house. Next to the conodoguinet creek
I grew up in country manor and live next to the connodoguinnet here in Enola right now.
Thank you so much for this video! We are so excited to here the health benefits of this mushroom.
Hear! Lol! Sorry, I'm cleaning some as I watch your video.
I envy how healthy you look. Your knowledge has paid off brother. And I've seen your recent videos. You look even healthier. Much love and thanks
Excellent info. Thanks for sharing
Excellent video Thanks for the great information. I now must learn more about this mushroom.
Your intelligence and positivity are delightful. Thank you for making informative videos that are enjoyable to watch. c:
Thank you Amanda! Glad you enjoy these videos.
Love your work man God bless you
Thanks, Adam! One think I haven't seen covered is how to harvest it so enough spores are left for continued growth in the future! Can you just harvest all of it at once? And how can you keep it, and for how long? I love your videos! Thanks!!!
I just found a big chunk of this stuff and this video was super helpfull
You are amazingly knowledgeable and informative! Thank you! I just found a chicken of the woods but I’ve been told by a lady it is not one but she thinks I’m talking about Hen of the Woods. I wish I could email you a photo and chat with you for information. I just don’t want to get sick or hurt my family. Either way thank you so much.
great video! very informative
Very informative video! Loved it!

Thank you for your helping me understand mushrooms I'm a beginner
