  • We embark on a journey into mushroom Wonderland to discover what kind of wild fungi are growing in the very beginning of spring, in March of 2024. Aaron Hilliard, amateur mycologist and vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, along with his trusty hound/lab Gunnar, stroll through the forest discovering and describing the mushrooms that are growing in the wild.
    Each season brings its own set of fungi, and spring has a certain set of mushrooms, some of them good edible mushrooms, that can be foraged by you and your family with just a little bit of education. Along the trail we encounter oyster mushrooms, Pleurotus pulminarious, yellow waxy caps Hygrocybe flavescens, Alpine jelly cone Guipiniopsis alpina, false turkey tail Stereum, parasitic Clitocybe, and many others.
    The goal of this channel is to help educate about mushroom identification and safety, and all things fungi related. Please make sure to subscribe and follow on all of the other social media platforms below.

    We will not accept any responsibility for negligence or accidental ingestion of poisonous mushrooms or plants. These videos are not intended to be a definitive field guide, but rather a starting point to become familiar with habitat, Everyone is encouraged to do their own studies, acquire literature or internet resources to safely and confidently identify wild foods before they eat them. When eating a new wild mushroom, it is advised to start with only a small amount, and make sure that it is fresh and that it is cooked thoroughly. Some mushrooms do not agree with certain individuals, and this is typically discovered on a case-by-case basis. Even the most edible of mushrooms contain compounds that can be tough for the human digestive tract to handle. Some “edible” species have small amounts of certain toxins that will easily break down with cooking. Fungi contains a molecule known as chitin that is the same thing that makes the exoskeleton of shellfish so hard, and cannot be broken down by the human digestive system, so it is another good reason to thoroughly cook mushrooms. All the ideas expressed in the comments should be taken with a large grain of salt. I don’t think there is any other field of study or science that has more misinformation being shared so freely and boldly. Mushroom Wonderland and Aaron himself have no opinion and neither encourage nor discourage the use of mushrooms containing mind-altering compounds. These mushrooms contain powerful chemicals and should be treated with a high level of responsibility. Any video topics on the habitat, natural distribution, and morphological features of psychoactive mushrooms portrayed on this channel are purely for scientific and educational purposes.

    We never eat our mushrooms, They are too valuable, we dry them, put then in glass jars around our home with the lids loose to allow the healthiest molecules on the planet escape and we breathe them. The bedroom is the best place to have them so you get healthier while you sleep.
    Best kept secret on the globe. great channel you have

    It's interesting, the winter oysters are much more abundant than spring ones on the east coast. That yellowing also seems a lot more common too, we see it all the time.

    Watching from Nova Scotia 👋so far here I’ve found nothing but bracket fungi and jellies. Managed to harvest some turkey tail and amber jelly rolls.better than nothing I suppose. I assume our warm weather comes a little later than yours.

    Seriously though I wish I had the time and knowledge to go look in my pnw area of Spokane Washington... when I was younger we lived up in Rice Washington and we'd pick shaggy manes and morels EVERY YEAR and I miss that😢 if anyone here knows of any good places to look that's close to or in Spokane let me know 😊

    I miss having more hardwoods. We had a bad fire in our area in 2015 and the maples are on the mend. Buckeye have taken over and our mixes aren't as dramatic. I've been giving away my aspen saplings to try and bring back more of the diversity we used to have

    Nice video! Those lichen fruiting bodies you showed looked a lot like yellowfoots. How can you tell them apart?

    • @mushroomwonderland1
      @mushroomwonderland1  4 місяці тому +1

      Thanks. The winter chanterelle or yellowfoot never grows directly off of wood like this. Also, the yellow foots stem is square rather than round, you can't really roll it in your fingers. And these are far more delicate, and lacking the bright yellow base.

    Are there reishi mushrooms in western WA? I found some mushrooms yesterday growing out of the side of a downed doug fir and they looked a lot like reishi. EDIT: the mushrooms I saw looked almost identical to the fomitopsis mounceae that you show at 21:36.

    • @mushroomwonderland1
      @mushroomwonderland1  4 місяці тому +2

      Yes! But they don't really usually fruit until June or so.. But could have been. Red belted conchs are really doing good right now, and other shelf fungi.

    Can one gather and sell edible mushrooms to local grocery stores and restaurants in the PNW?

    • @mushroomwonderland1
      @mushroomwonderland1  2 місяці тому

      Definitely, usually you will sell to a buyer who is sort of a distributor for all those stores, they have a good reputation of clean mushrooms with correct ID. Most grocery stores wouldn't want to buy wild buggy oyster mushrooms, because so many people cultivate them. But certain mushrooms, like chanterels, porcini, lobster, they all require a tree to grow with so they must be wild foraged and then sold to the markets.

  • @BlAcKpHrAcK
    @BlAcKpHrAcK 4 місяці тому +1

    I never see mushrooms on live trees when looking up, yet Armillaria ostoyae are often accused of destroying forests ..I think they bring down the dead trees before their branches fall from above.

    • @mushroomwonderland1
      @mushroomwonderland1  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, lots of mushrooms, like honey mushrooms, live in the butt and the base in the roots of a live tree.

    • @BlAcKpHrAcK
      @BlAcKpHrAcK 4 місяці тому

      The first-glance science, suggests the fungi are murderous to trees, the irony is protecting the accusers from dry branches overhead ..all that hard work and honour, they still carry the bad wrap.

      Weapon development:
      I am stalling, I do not want to finish this cheese, have to lift the cover ..the lactic acid from a different fermentation process ..OH MY... WOW! ..nuclear yellow cheese acid with a tinge of green from the Penicillium roquefortii (blue in the cheese). The fungal spores I added, tend to produce wine flavonoids when cultivated in-vitro ..going to attempt, psycho-pharmacologically active cheese with wine flavours and pungent lactic acid tones.
      Some Axis FORCE-indulging types would not let me inside the legion, during a sideways snowstorm that was kinda suffocating. He thinks his sh** does not stink but his AC ducts might, deserters caused me to walk two whole decades while investigating their war crimes.
      SUCCESS! ..with the version prior to fermentation, I was able to wash the lactic acid stink from my hands, after fermenting with the Penicillium and white mold for the outer-rind ..the big stink, is no longer water-soluble ..it requires solvent or paint thinner/ remover.
      Demoralising nuisance, both my hands stink like dirty feet/ Eille c'est tannant, j'ai les deux mains qui pue les pieds.
