- Oyster Mushroom hunting yields a tree full. Watch all our mushroom hunting vids: goo.gl/o3Ycvz
We talk about mushroom identification, the identification books we like, and proper mushroom foraging methods.
Mushroom hunting for beginners starts with a good ID book, get the Audubon Mushroom Guide Here: www.gardenfork.tv/mushroomguid...
When foraging for mushrooms, be sure you identify them properly. Take a class or go foraging with and experienced person. Use two or more identification books to double check the edibility of your harvest.

Just picked a good 3 pounds of oysters here in my northern Michigan yard. Amazing what a couple days of rain bring.
There are old mushroom hunters and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old bold mushroom hunters
thank you for the video. we found a bunch of tree mushrooms in our backyard. We picked some, incorrectly, then watched the video. Great information. Hopefully, we can forage these mushrooms in our yard for years to come. Here's to mushrooms, wine, onions and a great steak!
excellent
That is quite a haul, very cool...
my god! you found one of my favorite mushrooms! I love sautéing them with white onions to top of a lucky piece of steak. awesome find. great video and information.
+skankhunt42 looking forward to foraging season thx!
thank you for the video I just subscribed to your channel just started mushroom hunting with my wife... hope to see more videos on mushrooms
Wow, that was the Mother Lode of oysters! You didn't have to worry about leaving some, -- no ladder would reach to some of those at the top, lol. Here's to plenty of great mushrooms this autumn, too! Oyster mushrooms are so good -- and lots of others, too. It's amazing how many edible mushrooms there are.
Very cool!
You guys are SOOO smart, it's cool to learn from ya'll !!! THANK YOU !!!!
Donna Wynn Thanks Donna, glad you like the show! eric.
love your channel ❤️
This is Very informative Eric.
There are a lot of those on a couple of trees just down the road and I had no idea what they are.
I will certainly be careful to verify that these are the right ones.
Great video as always, thanks!
Tango Joe Free Food! but yes, be careful. eric.
I love mushrooms. I'm pickling a bunch right now, the hardest part is waiting for them to be ready! Great video, I'd like to try foraging someday.
well if you ARE PICKING THEM---THEN HAVE YOU *NOT FORAGED ALREADY?* ENJOY+
Cool video by the way.
Thanks for this great video. I love all of your videos, especially the labs frolicking. I see mushrooms growing on trees in my neighborhood sometimes and wonder what type they are. Some are huge and quite beautiful. Enjoy!
Tc Anderson watch the Labradors here: ua-cam.com/users/gardenforklabs thx! eric.
Found a few the other day, in February! I grabbed the best, cleanest one and ate it. Mainly because I know they're good for you, and have medicinal value. Good video, subscribed.
i want to buy some spore plugs and try this on some logs in my yard!
GardenFork Yeah, that's a good idea. If it wasn't much trouble I'd like to grow them inside. Even the freshest ones I find still have worms in them. I only actually get to eat a fraction of what I find.
my neighbor logged his land so i can go get some fresh cut oak and birch to inoculate. will do that after maple syrup season.
GardenFork Wish you luck.
hey love the video. we hunt morels here in kansas. i want to start hunting more but got to find an expert and a couple of good books.
joe hanna hi Joe, Morels are easy to identify, as are a few others, the books are a great help. thx! eric
what a find!
+Ildiko Mester i just found a big patch of oyster mushrooms this weekend! interesting to find some this late in the year. thx! eric.
+GardenFork I was out yesterday and found several dead trees with frozen fall oysters on them, and another with angel wings. even here in central VT, we still are finding fungi.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Definitely not a flower or plant. Unlike plants, you can take the entire fruiting body and it will not harm the underlying mycelia. The mushrooms will return next year in the same location, regardless of complete or incomplete harvest.
+Beq MD i like to leave some of the mushroom so it will release spores to create more mushrooms. thx! eric.
Do you find that your yields increase in the following years when you return to the same location?
few mushroom videos actually explain like you did well done! 😀
+P4rk0urbilly battlefield thx, that why i make the mushroom identification videos like this. i learned from friends and books, and wanted to share the knowledge. thx! eric.
Wow I didn't know these mushrooms. I usually hunting truffle or boletus some time... Very impressive
+I Tartufi di Pepe truffles and boletus are rare near me, these oysters are common in late summer and fall. thx!
If you desire in my video you can find some truffle. In the next days I will go to hunt some Tuber Borchii. I'm waiting for your next video...
Time for more foraging videos :)
Amy Marie yes, the snow has melted so we can start foraging! we can start with dandelion. eric.
my field guide calls these branching oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus cornucopiae). The oyster mushroom has slate-blue or oyster-colored caps (Pleurotus ostreatus). Both are edible and delicious.
+kingneddy yes, within the mushroom world, they are different opinions, like most things. the good thing is they are easily identifiable and edible. thx for the note! eric.
There's some look alikes that cause cancer.
July 4
Really good info! Thank you! I saw that poison ivy ☠️ I never knew about smelling them. I will check out your other vids too. I love 🍄. New sub for you...happy trails 💜
Hi, does your book cover species in Tropical climate (equator)?
Yummy
If you cut all of the spores off.. how will it make more spores?
The mycillium is under the bark. Right?
My hubby took the mycology class from VT taught by the man who wrote the book which is the standard. We love mushrooming, not many choices here though. If we have any question we spore print. Always grab the book as well. Love that they are free. Found shaggy manes, morels, puffballs so far not to mention the deadly amanitas.
lechatboote i just found some shaggy manes a few weeks ago in the neighbor's yard, thx eric.
Don't drink too much beer with shaggy manes
I have a hard time identifying all the eatable mushrooms so any help is useful, I only know 3 kinds Osyters, Buttons, and the magic mushrooms There so many i do not know about ... other than those 3 all it takes is one bad mushroom and your dead They really need more books and guilds on mushrooms and Truffles Thanks for sharing
426 SUPER BEE the guide book listed in the info section of the video is a great mushroom identification book to start with. thx! eric.
I was told that if you are using ref. books it is wise to go with the rule of three. meaning three different books
Great video...just subscribed :)
Great video, my Grandfather used to pick these and I never knew where he got them from, didn't even know the name of them, all I knew is they were fantastic. In the oven with salt, pepper and parmesan cheese, OMG they were good ! Thanks for sharing this, I need to go foraging. Is there any particular tree they grow on mostly? New sub here ! Thanks
They grow on dying maples here. They are good!
Nice. I guess the only real problem is trying to pick them at just the right time. I wonder if these would dehydrate well enough for longer storage? I think they might, since they're fairly thin.
sooth15 i haven't tried that, but its worth a try. thx! eric.
just beginning to forage n loving it...however just a little concerned as to which ones are absolutely safe to consume...found some elm oysters?..but they have stems unlike the ones in this video...
i have not heard of elm oysters, sorry. i would check with a local expert and some guide books. thx!
In the same book, could this be Angels wing mushrooms?
I really like the video!
Both types are edible by the way.
Absolutely beautiful haul, what type of tree do they mostly grow on? Thanks
these were on a sugar maple and an oak. thx!
I find them alot on dead beech trees
At first this was a promising and kind-spirited video on oyster mushrooms. But it quickly became difficult to hear repeated references to this organism as a plant. 😩 Fungi are distinct from plants and in their own evolutionary group! In fact animals are more closely related to fungi than plants are! -Biologist
I know how to cook. this is really good mushrooms ..I'm from thailand. I know it .im sure.
Can you help me identify a mushroom please. We found them today in southern michigan. I don't know how to send a photo
I guess started kinda late n didn't find any regular oysters...do elm oysters taste different?...I found them kinda chewy but not unpleasant...
How do you know wen they are no good,?
im from kansas in dodge city now.
Angel wing vs oyster? And you said it was a hemlock tree?
Found some oysters yesterday but they were way too buggy
What time of year do you normally find this type? Do they grow on one or several tree species? They look yummy frying.
these grow in the late part of summer on dead or dying trees or logs. They usually grow on hardwoods, not pines. thx! eric.
Any day of the year as long as the weather is right
Just spore test it is the absolute identification . They propagate themselves by dropping the spores.
I am ordering some pink oyster mushroom plugs, and while I am doing most of them in bottles... I would like to do some outside. I am planning on putting a few plugs into a living Hackberry tree to see if it will thrive. But I wonder if I would be putting the tree at risk. Do oyster mushrooms accelerate the decline of a tree?
if have seen oysters grow only on dead or dying trees, so i wouldn't sacrifice a live tree. find one that is already dying, be good to hear how it works for you. thx!
Thanks, I will adjust my plans. There are an over abundance of Hackberry trees bordering the northern end of a ~200' by ~200' meadow I am turning into a garden--slowly, little piece by little piece. So I am clearing out some of the trees to promote the health of the others. I will leave a few tall stumps. Thanks for responding.
if you drop some trees, try leaving a few 3-4' logs lying on the ground and inoculate them. or you can put the logs in a cool basement. also consider growing winecaps, they are very easy to grow on woodchips, from what i understand. thx!
Thanks for the suggestion... I figure I'll just create different micro-environments and collect as many plants and mushrooms as I can find use for... or interest in. I planted dill in a pot and monarch caterpillars ate the whole batch, but I've never seen so many monarchs around here... so next year I'll plant a whole section of raised bed with it. I am also in the process of retrieving Blue Spruce from two different yards where the owners want them gone. My plan is to have an evergreen border to whatever degree I am capable of the work. There are dozens of trees available, but only for the rest of the season. They range from 7 to 12 feet and I am doing the work myself with only shovels and ropes. I just started my third tree today. I would like to document for UA-cam, but I am too busy to film. Anyway, thanks for your time and consideration, I will definitely look into the Winecaps.
I've never tasted those before. Are they good and what do they taste like? (not sure if I have asked you this before)
russtex kinda like meaty earthy mushrooms, nice and crunchy when cooked right! eric.
They smell like feet while you’re cooking them lol but they’re incredibly delicious
did you grow those mushroom on that tree?
+zapperzip no, they were in the woods! thx.
I WANT TO LIVE THAT LIFESTYLE
its nice, but lots of mosquitos and poison ivy! eric.
the Autobahn book is a good reference book and very nice pictures and information. but be warned there is no cure for mushroom poisoning from certain mushrooms like the Amanita group. so reputable knowledge is to is the key to Safe mushroom hunting. and as I would like to repeat there is no cure for mushroom poisoning and it's a slow and painful death
could you share mushrooms which look similar to this, i think you called them shelf mushrooms, which are not edible? I have so many white mushrooms but never pick them.
+DIANA SILVA Hi Diana, its best to refer to a field guide or work with an experienced forager to what look-alikes are in your local area. Thx! eric.
+GardenFork yes, looking for somebody. excited.
DIANA SILVA not sure if you found anyone but most States and Counties have mushroom groups. Just look it up and join the group:-):-)
Truffles......where could I get starters for this type mushroom? I would be interested in growing/harvesting/selling these. Any ideas? thanks. PS love your program.
Auntie M there are people who are starting Truffle farms, i've read some articles, you'll have to do a search on that one. thx! eric.
Thanks!
i don't know of any one farming truffles. you have to hunt them in the wild
Thank U
My hubby told me there's a maple tree with ur kind of mushrooms on it
Plant species? You mean fungal species, right?
yes, i mangle words on a regular basis.
I suppose that's part of the reason we're all fond of you.
All fungi are more closely related to animals than plants.
+Derek Tallington yes! Good point. Thx.
I once heard: "There are bold mycologists and there are old mycologists, but there are no old, bold mycologists."
caldsfamily good point! these are an easily identifiable mushroom we have been harvesting for years, so on this one we are good to go. thx! eric.
Is it no problem to harve things in America out of public wood ? State own ?
HARRIS yuyu it varies by State, in general, its important to not take too many of one kind. just good manners! eric.
Great information but mushrooms are not plants. They are fungi and are actually more closely related to animals than plants.
thanks for the heads up on that! they are amazing all the same. its been a dry year here, so few mushrooms, any near you?
I live in the desert. Very few mushrooms here, except for the grocery store haha.
ok then, no mushrooms for you. but i'm sure it beautiful there. thx!
I went to this site and it seems to be just a site to sell a book on how to grow mushrooms.
Pibbles 'n Bits
I love your channel, but I don't think it's wise to ever encourage a novice to forage for mushrooms (except during a zombie apocalypse). It's too risky. How about an episode on growing your own? I've seen kits, but I bet you can figure out a cheaper, and easier way.
thegrimjester i've heard about growing mushrooms in a pile of woodchips or coffee grounds, will have to look into that. thx! eric.
Its so silly that you call them plants. lol
Cablarl Kahn yeah, I know! thx.
Did he just call a mushroom a plant? I'll let it slide... this time.
