- In this video the creator of Mushroom Wonderland, avid outdoorsman, and Vice President of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society takes us on a fully immersive ASMR type hike into the south east Olympic Mountains to the Flapjack Lakes. An 18+ mi round trip hike up the North Fork of the Skokomish River, AKA 'the staircase,' which climbs high into the mountains of the beautiful and misty Pacific Northwest.
Along the way we will Identify several of the more common species of mushrooms you may encounter on a summer hike in the PNW. Also we will talk a little bit about some of the more interesting plants along the way, as well as how to tell the age of an old growth Douglas-fir tree.
The major difference in this video from most of the other videos that ytoull find on this channel is the amazing ASMR forest scenery and the absolute beauty of the river and the ancient old-growth forest.

Thanks for joining, now lets take a journey into Mushroom Wonderland...
I love that you identified both the fungus and the plants and trees you encountered. I’m a tree nerd as well as a mushroom nerd and this information is so helpful. 🍄
Loved this video, even though the mushrooms weren't out in full force! I love Washington state!
What a gorgeous area!! Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you for the disclaimer about "medicinal" mushrooms much of the research is mixed only in petri dishes and mice that many people think are guaranteeds. Keep up the good work loved the channel since I found it, nothing wrong with not saying 100%.
Learned tons watching and exploring, also near the peninsula.
Absolutely loved this video, Aaron! This is exactly the kind that keeps me engaged. Please make more of these!! Looks like a fantastic hike! 👌🏾
Thanks. You showed us mushrooms, trees, undergrowth, a bird and beautiful Staircase, Flapjack lakes and waterfalls. I appreciate your telling us how these all work together in nature.
The shots and the landscapes are breathtaking and uniquely beautiful.
HELL YEAH!!! I just finished a 20 mile hike to our local alpine lakes the muscaria was everywhere and lots of deer mushrooms and even a couple false parasols love the content !!! Good on you my man enjoy these moments there the best
Amazing video! I just turned 22 and have been down in the dumps about life right now, but have been super curious about mushrooms and how they can help with your outlook on the world. Thankful I came across your videos, beautifully filmed and edited!
Nice!
Taking a walk thru a nice cool forest sure does help me take my mind of that heat wave outside my Texas door!
well done and that Grissette was really neat - thanks for the fine hike !
Amazing area, ty for the video.
Wow this is a great video. 10/10 cinematography and super informative.
Good morning sir u have a good day today..
Your videos and voice are so soothing.
Great video thank you, from Whatcom County
Nice work. Keep 'em coming.
The intro music for this episode has a real dramatic flair, and the content is great as usual. Thanks for putting it all together.
Absolutely breathtaking! The sights sounds and info inspiring! My brother and I biked a local trail 12miles.Found 2 handfuls of oysters and saw a bear! Happy foraging!!
awesome. mossy heaven over there.
Amazing video. Next time I'm out on the peninsula I'm definitely going to checkout some of the hikes.
That's what those plants are great to know the plants too
oh wow took me forever to see that bird LOL! Great video!
Nice Aaron I really dig what you are doing keep it up
Man I wish I would have known you were there. I was just north of you in the OP camping south of Port Ang. Good videos and awesome info for us new mushroom nuts!
I love your videos they’re very informative I always point new mushroom hunters toward them to learn. You always ask for suggestions for contents and it would be great if you could take a mushroom side-by-side with two other ones that may look alike and compare them and explain the difference.
thank you for sharing 😎👍🏼
Commenting to help the algorithm, thanks for your content, I am always excited when you post a new video!
Really great vid. Making me want to hit my favorite Olympics mushroom hike!
My favorite summer find was Butyriboletus abieticola.
This is a great channel.
I've got lots of value from watching.
Also the pink tipped coral when young is pretty tastey. Similar to a Chantrelle.
Suillus found in summer are denser and when cooked right are pretty good.
In the fall you go for the tried and true favorites but in summer I'm more apped to try something new.
That abieticola though.
Even better than king boletes.
Nutty sweet, with a double crunch effect.
Side note
I caught 12 prickleback eels poke poling this low tide.
There should be a tidepool sea weed camo.
That would be cool.
Now I'm rambling.
Love this channel.
I been going by the old names and you keeping me updated.
(I'm in south west Oregon)
4:35 you identify Salmonberry. Rubus spectabilis. However those are Rubus parviflorus, commonly called Thimbleberry. Thank you for all the great videos!
Thanks I did not realize that! Maybe I should just stick to mushrooms 🤣🍄🤙
Lol, I came to the comments to see who else caught that. Thanks, absolutely in love with your channel! ❤️
Awesome video
Thank you Aaron.
Those were thimble berries!
Love your videos there's no way I can hike 18 miles but I would if I could
From Colorado ! Thanks for making this.. maybe one day we will go on a hunt!
Thank you brother. Always have an ear up for you guys great videos. Looking forward to hiking with the club someday to learn more. 🍄
Thank you for taking us along! I’ve always wanted to do that hike. I’m too far away now. Do you know yet when your foray will be in October? I will be in the area for part of that month and hope to participate in that. Thanks again!
Might be worth collecting and stratifying the seeds from the Douglas Firs and sprinkle them in the fall when you do your walks.
Thank you from North Idaho for an amazing, peaceful hike with nature. Cant walk long distance anymore so I really enjoy your outdoor footage. I've seen so many different mushrooms on my hikes and just really never knew. Cant wait for the next mushroom adventure!
thimble berry, Rubus parviflorus, rather than salmon berry, Rubus spectabilis, I believe based on the brief shots in video. Love your videos.
thimble berries are even more delicious!
You are correct. Thimbleberry, not salmon berry.
Agreed. Salmon berries have pink flowers and the leaves look more like raspberry leaves. Thimble berries have the giant "Land Before Time tree star" leaves with white flowers.
Hey, sessile is an adjective used to specify when a mushroom is growing from a substrate attached without some sort of stipe or receptacle. I guess what you meant to say, was laccate.
Haha oops!!! Yes you're correct
Id love to see you do a video from my side of the mts "the wet side".…Quinault area
Would you ever consider doing a foray with some of your followers? Love your content would be awesome to do something like that I saw Rockefeller did not long ago…
Yeah it's a possibility! Life is busy right now🍄🤙
✌👍
You should check out Yarrow Willard aka the Herbal Jedi. He's a clinical herbologist from Vancouver Island, he can help you with the medicinal aspects of mushrooms 🍄 😉.
Has anyone seen the little purple mushrooms that grow under cow dung in Idaho and probably elsewhere , and are they edible?
