When people says omphalotus illudens are big and that's a way to distinguish them, that's flawed because before they got big they had to grow from small ! poisoning will occur when people see them in their small sizes not when they've reached this big blooming size. In a way talking about size is a trap and will get people to see them when small and confuse them.
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge on these with me. I am always leery when identifying mushrooms and having your comprehensive videos is a big help. Thank you!
THANK YOU! I found a TON of these in Washington DC, and got excited from a distance. But up close I noticed how orange they were, and I know several deeper orange shrooms are toxic . Luckily I found a site that went into detail about false vs real gills before I harvested a bunch. I was also suspicious at how huge the clusters were. I love the amount and type of information you provided! "Tupac to our Biggie". Alright now, LOL! Luckily a week later (early October) I found equally large clusters of Maitake / Hen of the Woods deep in a nearby forest.
Just found a bunch of these while I was foraging on my property. Found some old man of the woods, smooth chanterelles, and some tasty porcini and boletes. Just wanted to double check that those were jacks. Thanks for the video. I live in upstate SC and would love to go forage sometime.
Hey Anna, I just photographed the bioluminescence of these mushrooms. I tried posting a link but youtube will not allow it. Message me if you would like to see it.
Thanks Anna . Try this , put a cluster of fresh ones ( like those ) in a paper bag in in the fridge for an hour or so ... then go out on the porch in the dark . Put em on the rail and in a few minutes you'll see the gills glowing green .
Hi Anna, You really know your stuff! I live in Minnesota and I am having a difficult time identifying a mushroom. It looks like a ring less honey mushroom and is growing in a cluster on some old roots. I was hoping for a white spore print but the print is rusty brown. The stem is shaggy as is the cap. Could I send you some pics? Deadly Galerina?
Sometimes we get so caught up in the seriousness of life that we forget all that really matters, now and then, is a good mushroom fight. Thank you; good reminder. ... and remember, no aiming for the face, 'cause that's just mean.
I haven't! it's just such a shame that all the jack o lanterns i've gathered were party poopers and didn't glow for me. i am still trying though. every. single. time.
I've always thought they look more like Gyms than Chants... I'd even go as far as to say that 90% of the people who have said they mistaken them for chantrelles were lying 🤥 to save face because they didn't want to get in trouble for trying to take a trip. Lol
gyms have darker spores, darker gills, and the gills are notched or something not decurrent, and the base of gyms is fat and bulbous but the honey mushrooms have a tapered base?
Thanks. Just found these today in a forest and wanted to learn more about them
This one is still on my bucket list. Great video!
Just dont kick the backet😅
Anna does a great job explaining.

I always love finding these. When they're fresh, they're beautiful. Great video Anna! Also a good mushroom to be able to positively identify.
I’m watching over here today! Haven’t found this mushroom yet but delighted that you’re showing why they’re not chanterelles 🙌🏼
Excellent, hope the info comes in handy!
What a great web site . She gives a lot of information. Great site.😊
There Tupac to our biggie. Love that reference
What a great video. Really excellent description of this fungus.

Love this and all the information! Subscribing & page stalking after I finish this vid 😁❤️
Wait .. what's a mushroom fight?! 😂

Beautiful and so attractive! They smell great 👍
excellent lesson on the mushroom and its nature.

Ahhh thanks! I will,
Again Great Job.

i would look at the pholiota genus - they are common in your area and are all sorts of shaggy and clustered on wood.
Thank you for sharing this

What region are you from, or what general location do you find these?
Ah. You explain in the video.
Just found a huge cluster in my yard!!
Have you ever seen them glow? I've tried to see the honey mushrooms glow but ether they weren't bright enough or my eyes weren't good enough.
I haven't! it's just such a shame that all the jack o lanterns i've gathered were party poopers and didn't glow for me. i am still trying though. every. single. time.
@@anna-identifies-mushrooms I was reading that they need to be young and moist specimens to see the glow, just though I'd share that with you.
do they glow at night
This was great but AAAAGH GET THAT DANGLY PIECE OFF
I've always thought they look more like Gyms than Chants... I'd even go as far as to say that 90% of the people who have said they mistaken them for chantrelles were lying 🤥 to save face because they didn't want to get in trouble for trying to take a trip. Lol
Yes, that’s true! They do look more similar to Gyms than chanterelles by a bigass margin
gyms have darker spores, darker gills, and the gills are notched or something not decurrent, and the base of gyms is fat and bulbous but the honey mushrooms have a tapered base?
They also look a lot more like an orange oyster mushroom.
Colonoscopy prep? 🤢
j/k
Hey, maybe? It’s more pukey than poopy, but I bet it could get you cleared out
